Brokeface

Brokeface was a former soldier and follower of Poliel in the city of G'danisban. He was described as bone-scarred, with a pinched and misshapen face. The flesh and bones folded in at the right lower jaw, then across the face, diagonally to the right cheekbone. His eyes were misaligned in their sunken sockets and his mouth was a collapsed cave.
He had a hatred of horses, leading Ganoes Paran to realise the man's injuries had come from being bitten by a horse.The Bonehunters, Chapter 15, UK MMPB p.745/747 His weapon was a farmer's scythe from which dangled a blood-crusted horsetail. 
==In Deadhouse Gates==
On the eve of the Whirlwind rebellion, Fiddler, Apsalar, and Crokus Younghand attempted to cross Seven Cities disguised as a Gral tribesman and two pilgrims. They unexpectedly encountered a rag-tag army encamped outside G'danisban, which had overran G'danisban ahead of the official start of the rebellion. The man later known as Brokeface was among the rebel soldiers posted to guard the barricade blocking the road into the city. Crokus considered the man to be about the same age as himself.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 5, UK MMPB p.185-186/189 
The guard told Fiddler and the others that the city was closed before spitting at the ground between the hooves of Fiddler's mount. A notoriously vicious breed, the Gral horse unexpectedly bit the guard in the face without warning. As the screaming man lay bleeding on the ground, Fiddler bluffed his way past the guards into the city.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 5, UK MMPB p.185-186 
==In The Bonehunters==
After G'danisban's population was slain by Poliel's Bluetongue Plague, Brokeface commanded a motley army of thirty or forty diseased hunters searching the city for strangers and enemies of the goddess. Brokeface and his hunters encountered Ganoes Paran, when the Master of the Deck rode into the city to confront Poliel. Paran convinced was the man to lead him to their mistress at her Grand Temple. Once at the temple he demanded that Paran dismount but was met with refusal. Brokeface briefly flinched as the horse stepped closer but the presence of his mistress gave him the courage to sneer at Paran.The Bonehunters, Chapter 15, UK MMPB p.747/750
The confrontation between Paran and Poliel left Brokeface cowered to one side. He remembered how he had once been just a poor, young, proud soldier of the rebellion with another name when his life was shattered as he was bitten in the face by a Gral horse. People had been revolted at the sight of him and he had begun to enjoy inflicting his own pain on others, which was when he had joined Poliel's cause. With her demise he felt that he was losing yet another life. In his despair he confronted one of the Hounds of Shadow invading the temple, hoping to be killed by it, but was shouldered aside and saved by Apsalar. She advised him to seek out Soliel for healing while she kept the Hounds at bay.The Bonehunters, Chapter 15, UK MMPB p.757/759-761
Escaping the temple, Brokeface soon encountered Quick Ben, who was also fleeing the Hounds and carrying his unconscious sister, Torahaval Delat. He convinced the mage to join him at Soliel's temple and assisted him in carrying his burden. At Soliel's temple, Brokeface looked upon the goddess in wonder as Paran commanded her to heal the broken and sick of G'danisban.The Bonehunters/Chapter 10, US SFBC p.626-630 Presumably, Brokeface had his face restored.
