Lubben [LOOB-en]Spoiler Talk: Night of Knives with Ian C. Esslemont and Philip Chase - A Critical Dragon - As pronounced by Ian C. Esslemont at 18:15 was the gatekeeper at Mock's Hold. He was a large old hunchback with only one good eye. He was known for his crab-like walk and his great ring of iron keys which he kept on his belt.Night of Knives, Chapter 1 He had huge battered hands and a heavy rumbling voice.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.896/908 Rumour had it that he was as old as the keep's Rampart Gate itself, and had been stationed there as far back as the time of Mock's rule.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.896
He was fond of his drink and tended to pass out "as was his wont whenever the Hold had uninvited guests."The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.827
In emergencies he wore a rusted and battered steel pot helmet along with mailed armour that hung in layers of folds with steel scales on his arms and torso. He fought with a long-hafted throwing axe.Night of Knives, Chapter 5, US TPB p.224
== In The Bonehunters == 
Banaschar made at least six attempts to send messages to Tayschrenn, who was staying in the Hold's tower. Each time the message was left in Lubben's care and the gate watchman promised to deliver the missive to the High Mage. But Banaschar never received a response and suspected someone was intercepting his messages.The Bonehunters, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.681
On the night that Adjunct Tavore Paran, T'amber, and Kalam came to the Hold to meet with Empress Laseen, Lubben greeted them at the gate smelling of rum. He cryptically warned Kalam that not every visitor to the Hold that night used the door.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.895-896 When the trio later departed in haste, Kalam asked Lubben to tilt back a drink for them for luck, and Lubben alerted him to a Claw ambush waiting on the Rampart Stairs, saying "mind that last step down there."The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.908

A drunken Lubben hid in his guardhouse the night of the Shadow Moon in 1154 BS as the Claw fought Ash's force of veterans and mercenaries in the keep around him.Night of Knives, Chapter 5, US TPB p.193 After the fight was over, he went with Corinn and Kiska to the city's Deadhouse where he helped Temper fight Jhenna, the Jaghut guardian.Night of Knives, Chapter 5, US TPB p.225-227/252
