The first assassin is “Black Dow”, stole his name from a book I'm currently reading by Joe Abercrombie (
The First Law series). If interested the group are “The Named Men” and consist of the honourable Rudd Threetrees, the expert tracker Dogman, Caul Shivers, Forley the Weakest, Tul Duru the Thunderhead (huge) and the leader is Logen “The Bloody Nine” Ninefingers.
