Character from Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson
Young Bonehunter mage who walks the spirit world and sees through the eyes of animals, a gift taught by his dead grandmother's ghost.
Bottle is a spirit-walker, a rare magical talent that lets him project his consciousness into animals and navigate the spirit world. His grandmother was a witch who taught him everything, and her ghost still nags him from beyond death. He is resourceful, clever, and perpetually exhausted from being the squad's magical early warning system. He uses rats, birds, and insects as scouts, seeing what they see. His power is subtle but invaluable.
Young, thin, with a perpetually distracted expression — his attention is often split between the physical world and whatever animal he is currently inhabiting. Dark eyes that sometimes reflect a creature's awareness.
