Riggis

Riggis was an enormous warrior of the Senan White Face Barghast, not yet thirty years of age, who sported a braided beard and wielded a tulwar.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 12, UK PB, p.589-592 
==In Dust of Dreams==
Riggis was a part of Onos Toolan’s bodyguard of 100 warriors selected from his critics and rivals to accompany Tool when he set out to investigate the sudden deaths of 500 Barghast. Tool hoped that viewing the Barghast dead (caused by a K'Chain Nah'ruk Skykeep) would instill fear in the others, so they would leave to the relative safety of the Letherii Empire.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 10, UK PB, p.484-486 Riggis was the first warrior to formally challenge Tool for leadership of the White Face Barghast, though this challenge was initially refused despite Tool’s assurance that he could defeat any of the Senan warriors.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 12, UK PB, p.578-579
After the group came across the annihilated Snakehunter camp Riggis again challenged Tool, undoubtedly confident as he had a large number of trophies (indicating past victories) and as none of the Barghast had seen Tool fight previously. This time he rushed Tool, being frustrated by the latter’s rhetoric, prompting Tool to kill Riggis. This he achieved through a single thrust, slicing off Riggis' weapon hand and cutting above his heart, likely severing his aorta.
This event prompted Tool to attempt to relinquish the position of Warleader to Bakal, his strongest denouncer, but conversely convinced the other gathered Senan of his leadership. He posthumously described Riggis as “a worthy warrior”, whose loss was one of the Senan people.
