Prince Josua Lackhand

Character from Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams

A one-handed prince who never wanted to lead anything — thrust into rebellion against his own brother, haunted by self-doubt so deep it's practically a vocation, and somehow the only hope the free peoples of Osten Ard have left.

Also known as: Josua Lackhand, The Prince
