Howler

Character from The Black Company by Glen Cook

The Taken who screams — his sorcery comes with a sound so terrible it damages the mind, and he rides a flying carpet because even the Taken have style.

Also known as: Howler, The Howler

What They Know

• Oldest of the Ten Who Were Taken — was an established wizard-king ages before the Lady was even born; his howls result from an ancient curse that also distorted his appearance
• The most prolific creator of flying carpets among the Taken and the best pilot — his carpets enable swift travel and tactical advantage across the empire
• At the Battle at Charm, executed the Lady's plan to massacre the Rebel army by dropping plague orbs from his carpet, killing nearly 250,000 rebels
• Diminutive, wrapped in dirty indigo rags, arthritis makes walking difficult — but his sorcerous knowledge and artifact-creation skills are unmatched among the Taken
