Bezil

Bezil - a renegade from the city of Bloor in Quon Tali - was the captain of the privateer ship, the Honest Avarice, whose home harbour was Malaz City. At least one of his crew thought that Bezil "seemed to think he was some sort of nobleman".Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 3, US TPB p.46
==In Deadhouse Landing==
The Honest Avarice - involved in a sea raid upon a convoy originating from the Quon Tali city of Cawn - was lurking in a cove near the city of Vor, awaiting the passage of the convoy. At the first sign of the convoy's approach, Bezil was alerted and, using his "great bellow", started giving orders to ready crew and ship for the imminent boarding of one of the cargo vessels. When the Avarice pulled alongside their chosen prey, Bezil ordered the throwing and the making fast of grapnels. Leading the boarding party, Bezil bellowed, "Up and at 'em!" and, weapons at the ready, crossed over to the merchantman, followed closely by the boarders from the Honest Avarice. However, it soon became apparent that the cargo vessels were part of a trap, and Bezil - even though he had been fatally injured - managed to yell out, "Retreat".Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 3, US TPB p.45-52
Although Bezil was killed, the damaged Honest Avarice made it back to the harbour of Malaz City. There Mock, upon meeting the vessel and being told that Bezil was one of the dead, replaced the fallen Bezil as captain of the ship with another of his "picked captains", Hess.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 4, US TPB p.78-79
