Thai Dei

From Glen Cook Wiki

Thai Dei is a Nyueng Bao who assigns himself as bodyguard to Murgen. He is short, no more than five feet or so, with crudely cropped black hair that sticks out in unkempt spikes. He is skinny, lantern-jawed, taciturn and surly. He is a grandson of Ky Dam, son of Ky Gota and brother of Sahra, who marries Murgen. He is with the Company for years, though not as a pledged member; he is killed in battle fighting the Khadidas.
