By book
Osvaldo in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
A crawler Carl does not recognise, out of a caravan at the castle with a hawk familiar (ch. 66); on the pet-show stage, a Brazilian of Team Flamengo with his stats in dexterity, presenting Gimli, his stone hawk, who turned a hunter to stone the day before — 'I couldn't loot him' (ch. 69). After the castle battle Donut names him: Osvaldo, a level-60 Curupira ranger who looks like a person. Bianca ate Gimli; he took the memorial crystal off Queen Imogen's body, which Prepotente says he needs against Scolopendra, fought over it, and went down the stairs with a few survivors of his team (ch. 77).
Osvaldo in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
Gimli's owner, a Brazilian Carl does not know, who looted the memorial crystal off Queen Imogen's body — Carl's quest is to get it from him — and who fought Pony and Burcu after Imogen died, then left for the Bahamas (ch. 5, ch. 8). Number eight on the leaderboard, a level 60 Curupira ranger (ch. 8); his squad's first opponent was the Pillsbury Dough Boy (ch. 10); on the recap he does parkour after a monkey with the crystal round his neck (ch. 27); in Brazil he threatens Jurgen over a door and wins a card battle that forces Jurgen to flee (ch. 62, ch. 64).
