Pelk

Pelk was a veteran soldier. She had been part of Lady Hish Tulla's houseblades for a while but mostly trained the Lady herself.Fall of Light, Chapter 8, UK HB p.219/220
Pelk was described as being middle aged and solid of build. She had straight hair and held herself upright and straight-backed'.Fall of Light, Chapter 6, UK HB p.220 A faint roll of fat encircled her belly and protruded slightly at the front and her breasts were full in proportion to her overall figure which was still that of a soldier. Beneath her left breast was an old scar about a finger's length.Fall of Light, Chapter 6, UK HB p.221
==In Fall of Light==
When the Tiste Andii captain Kellaras visited the Tulla estate, Tulla's husband, Gripp Galas, told him that he would send Pelk to see to Kellaras' bath, saying that she could scrub the stripes of a hyldra. Kellaras was reluctant to agree to the inferred arrangement but was persuaded by Gripp to at least consider it. When Pelk turned up, Kellaras questioned her about her experiences as a soldier and Pelk told him that she trained Hish Tulla in sword, spear, knife, and horse. Kellaras paid her teaching skills a compliment. When Pelk enquired if he needed her attention in the bath he replied that it would not be necessary but he would welcome it. This led to them sharing a bath and further intimacies. Pelk told Kellaras that when she acquired the scar under her breast, a cutter at the time told her that her heart was in the wrong place, otherwise she would have died. She told Kellaras that she preferred her heart to be difficult to find. Kellaras however admitted to himself that he lost his heart to her on that night.Fall of Light, Chapter 6, UK HB p.219-224
After Pelk served at dinner, she joined Kellaras, Gripp and Hish Tulla for a drink. Being asked by Gripp, Pelk gave her view on Vatha Urusander and the current situation then challenged Kellaras to come clean about the reason for his coming, showing her relentless streak.Fall of Light, Chapter 6, UK HB p.224/227/228
It transpired that Pelk had once been on Urusander's staff as trainer and weapon master.Fall of Light, Chapter 20, UK HB p.622
