Copperfaces

Copperfaces, or Copper-faces, were a group of at least a dozen large, muscular warriors within the Ganetok clan of the Awl, who were the close companions of the Ganetok war leader, Hadralt. They were referred to as 'Copperfaces' because they routinely painted their faces so as to make them appear as though they were covered in copper-coloured scales, a practice meant to emulate the actual red-scaled mask of the exiled Awl, Redmask.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 6, US TPB p.144

The Copperfaces stood around Hadralt when Redmask came to the Ganetok camp to challenge the warleader for rule of the Awl. Redmask called Hadralt and his warriors cowards for abandoning their Grey Sword allies in battle. When Hadralt challenged Redmask to face him in combat, Redmask summoned his K'Chain Che'Malle guardians, Gunth Mach and Sag'Churok, to prevent anyone in the crowd from interfering. The Copperfaces shrank back from the challenge. 
When Redmask invoked the name of Capalah, Hadralt's father, the Copperface Natarkas bitterly revealed that the former warleader fell to Hadralt's poison. It soon became clear that Hadralt had been retreating in the face of Letherii aggression in return for iron weapons, coin, and promises of an estate. Three Copperfaces fatally stabbed Hadralt in the back when he finally admitted that the Awl had no chance of victory. Afterwards, Redmask declared himself warleader of the Awl.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 6, US HC p.143-147
