Munug

Munug was an itinerant artisanMemories of Ice, Dramatis Personae from Darujhistan who crafted small items from materials such as bone, jade, ivory, or serpentine. He was also a painter, the skill of which he was most proud.Memories of Ice, Chapter 2, UK MMPB p.74
He was described as an old man with a broad forehead, white, wiry eyebrows, a narrow set of features and an almost chinless jaw. His teeth were snaggled, crooked, and jutted out in all directions. He had thin legs wrapped in leather and wore a threadbare tunic.Memories of Ice, Chapter 2, UK MMPB p.74/75
Munug thought of his life as one of grief and pain and little happiness. He suffered greatly from painful tumours between his legs.Memories of Ice, Chapter 2

Picker and Blend met Munug in the foothills of the Tahlyn Hills while patrolling for smugglers. Claiming to be heading to the market in Pale, Munug sold Picker a set of three interlocking ivory arm torcs allegedly blessed by a priest of Treach.Memories of Ice, Chapter 2, UK MMPB p.74-79 Picker allowed him to continue on his way but not before placing one of Quick Ben's tracker pebbles in the suspicious man's pack.
In actuality, Munug had been on his way to an appointment with the Crippled God. Passing into the god's Warren, the artisan presented him with a set of wooden cards he had painted at the god's request. Each contained scenes of pain and imperfection. In return, the god had promised to "cure" him of his tumors. The god removed his pain, but left Munug paralysed from the waist down far from home and civilisation.Memories of Ice, Chapter 2, UK MMPB p.79-82
Ganoes Paran later encountered Munug outside the gate to the Finnest House in Darujhistan. The former artisan was now a grimy coughing beggar dressed in rags and dragging himself across the ground. Paran offered him a handful of silver coins and Munug tried to interest him in sponsoring an expedition to recover a cache of gold Councils he had hidden in the Tahlyn Hills. Paran politely declined and warned the beggar not to stay too long outside the Azath's gate.Memories of Ice, Epilogue, US SFBC p.998
== In Toll the Hounds ==
Munug resurfaced as Prophet Seech, the High Priest of the Fallen One at Darujhistan's new Temple of Chains,Toll the Hounds, Dramatis PersonaeToll the Hounds, Chapter 20, UK HB p.746Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.667-668/677 which took over the space of the abandoned Temple of Fener.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 15, US SFBC p.603 He could not move anything below his arms, and half his face sagged. His eyelids could not close, leading one eye to dry up like a rotten crab apple. His diseased followers carried his body through the streets so he could preach sermons to large crowds regarding the coming end of the world where only the sick and broken would survive.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.667-668 
The temple itself often remained locked, causing mobs of trembling alcoholics, the pock-scarred, the lame, and the deformed to gather outside. If the prophet was communing with his own pain, he might not make an appearance for days. Each congregant hoped to feel the brush of the prophet's outstretched gnarled, feeble hand. The prophet delivered the god's peace by smothering those in pain, preaching that death at his hands was the only way to end their lives and be sure their souls would find a home with a loving god. On the other side of life, the lame would walk again.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.677-679/708
Bedek and Myrla, who were no strangers to suffering, made their way to the temple hoping the prophet would help them find their missing boy, Harllo. When the prophet's bearers carried him through the crowd, his hand reached out to bless Myrla's forehead. In answer to their questions about their adopted son, Prophet Seech instead talked of their other son, Snell, saying even the Crippled God rejected such a creature. Then he blessed the couple for their lifelong blindness, insensitive touch, and malnourished minds. When the prophet was borne away, the crowds trampled the couple to death and spots of gangrene grew on Myrla's head where the prophet had blessed her.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.677-679/708-709
