Glossary Four
Filch (real name unknown) is a twelve-year old orphan raised in “Muff” Marfluen’s Happy-Time Brothel and Orphanage in Mudtown, Burgun-Dach. True to his name (which he insists is not his fault), Filch is a burgeoning ne’er-do-well; a small-time hustler, thief, scammer, and pickpocket. He has no idea who his parents may have been, and was allegedly left on Muff’s doorstep with a small sack of gold when he was just a babe. He has messy dark hair that often gets in his eyes, though his ethnicity is indeterminate. (Violet once called him a “Prosoli-Jian mutt, probably with some Lahn blood in there too,” though all Filch got out of that was “mutt.”) Despite his troublesome reputation, Filch is protective of the other brothel orphans (“mites”), and does whatever he can to look out for them.
