Ginanse

Ginanse was an old veteran of the Falar Wars who Widdershins had known as a boy. He worked as a knife-sharpener and had a weakness for drink. When he had too much to drink he sought to seduce every woman he saw, but a terrible burn injury suffered during the attack on Falar Harbour meant he was incapable of consummating any affair.The Crippled God, Chapter 14, US TPB p.410-412
Ginanse always treated Widdershins' mother, Elade, kindly and hardly charged her his work on the family's lone knife.
==In The Crippled God==
Widdershins recalled how Ginanse had been found strangled in the alley behind his shop, much to the shock of his neighbours. Evidence suggested he had been strangled by a horsehair rope, a traditional punishment for adulterers by woodcutters. Realising her abusive and jealous husband was guilty of the crime, Elade killed him by stabbing him in the chest with the family's lethally sharp knife.
