Dester Thrin

Dester Thrin was a member of the Darujhistan Assassins' Guild. His Daru blood meant he was taller than most of the city's Gadrobi residents.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 1, UK HB p.16/20
Dester dressed in a deerhide shirt and moccasins, and wrapped himself tight in a black cloak and hood. He was armed with two daggers made of Daru steel which were slung on baldrics beneath his arms.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 1, UK HB p.17 Like the majority of the Guild's street killers, he admired Rallick Nom, emulating the man's penchant for poisons. Dester kept the ferules of his blades filled with a thick, pasty Moranth Tralb.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 1, US SFBC p.35
He was pleased to see Seba Krafar take control of the Guild after Vorcan Radok's disappearance since the new Grand Master was vicious and clever, while his rivals had only been vicious.

After four nights spent watching the bar he tailed Picker through the streets as she shopped amidst the celebration of the Gedderone Fête.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 1, UK HB p.16 He attempted to ambush his seemingly oblivious target in a dark alley from behind. But Picker had earlier spotted the tall Daru amidst the shorter Gadrobi crowds and cut his throat with her longsword as he rushed her.
