Reuth

Reuth was the nephew of Tulan Orbed. He had little practical sailing experience, but his uncle spent a fortune to expand on his valuable passion for cartography at Jasston and Jourilan.Assail (novel), Chapter 1, UK HB p.29
Reuth was a "pale and blotchy-faced" youth, curious and friendly, but unpracticed in social graces.Assail (novel), Chapter 1 The steersman Gren thought Reuth had "the Ruse-sense". The seas that were feared and hated by others brought only joy to the young man's face.Assail (novel), Chapter 7
 
==In Assail==
Reuth was the navigator for his uncle's ship Lady's Luck on their journey to Assail. He became friendly with Kyle, the Assail native his uncle hired to advise them. Reuth warned Kyle when the crew's suspicion of his true identity turned them against him, but Reuth was powerless to help.Assail (novel), Chapter 3 Reuth's skill enabled the Lady's Luck to make the difficult passage through the Fear Narrows, but his uncle was soon killed by the pirates of Old Ruse. First mate Storval took command of the ship and made Reuth his prisoner.Assail (novel), Chapter 7 At Mantle, he was left aboard with two guards, Emmel and Jands, while the rest of the crew went ashore. Reuth managed to free himself, kill his guards, and take control of the ship. Eventually he was rescued by the Blue Shields and allowed to recover on the Silver Dawn, joining Cartheron Crust's flotilla.Assail (novel), Chapter 11
==Trivia==
The map of the Assail continent in the front of the novel of the same name is attributed to Reuth. It also identifies him as the "son of Tulan" contradicting the text which states that he is Tulan's nephew.
