Jallin

Jallin, also known as the Jumper, was a hustler, scavenger, and treasure-hunter who sought to take financial advantage of the wars of northern Genabackis. Having failed to strike it rich in Pale, Kurl, and Callows, he relocated to Hurly on the continent's southern coast to pursue the treasures of the downed Moon's Spawn.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 1, US HC p.34
Jallin did not join the other fortune seekers who explored the partially sunken ruins of the Tiste Andii fortress. Instead, he preyed on new arrivals, robbing, cheating, and sometimes even murdering them. He earned his nickname for his habit of ambushing his victims from the rear.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 1, US HC p.33

Jallin attached himself to Antsy, newly arrived at Hurly. When Antsy refused to fall for his trickery, Jallin attempted to take Antsy's money by force. While his thugs occupied Antsy, Jallin attempted to strike from the rear. The Darujhistan nobleman and fortune hunter, Corien Lim, intervened and warned Antsy, who knocked out Jallin, earning them both his eternal enmity.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 1, US HC p.38
He was hired as guide by the mages Hesta and Ogule, and came to the Spawn with them. There he spotted his enemy Antsy, and time and again asked Hesta to kill Antsy.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 16
Jallin retreated with the group to the room that supposedly contained the Throne of Night, and stabbed Antsy in the back, nearly killing him. Malakai believed Antsy was dying and to avenge him put the mask that the Seguleh were looking for in Jallin's bag. The Seguleh then chased Jallin.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 16 It is unclear whether Jallin managed to escape although it is known that the Seguleh had retrieved the mask by the time they left the Spawn with Antsy and the others.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 18, UK large PB p.701/703
