Arc

Brooding, 'a good Carl impersonation' (ch. 11); a crocodilian face with blood on it after a raid (ch. 62). He claims Lucia Mar for himself on the planning notes (ch. 64), and then the queen arrives wearing his dead girlfriend's face, and he refuses the stairs: 'I don't see your cat going down the stairs' (ch. 65). He marches on Lucia and stops, seeing something wrong (ch. 67), and later holds a sobbing ten-year-old inside her and calls for her protection (ch. 71). He knows the twin from Ifechi (ch. 73), keeps a shotgun beat in the ballroom with Lucia behind him (ch. 75), calls 'Heave!' in the pit (ch. 76), and sobs when the queen dies as he did when Ifechi did (ch. 77).
