Robert Guissarme

Robert Guissarme is a tall and cadaverously thin commander of a less than successful mercenary company. He is leading his company west via Albinkirk towards Lissen Carak, to seek employment with the Abbess. To help pay for the journey he is leading a convoy of slaves from Theva, the city of slavers. The convoy is attacked, and most of the men and slaves killed by creatures of the Wild. One of the few survivors of the convoy is Peter.
