Haha, funny you mention that, I am reading book 7 now (about 35% through). I guess I can see some similarities between Redmask and Karsa, especially the "what I say goes or you die" mentality but they still seem different. Redmask is tactics while Karsa is just a wrecking ball.


Oh, and in book 7 I am glad to see

Toc the Younger back...I always liked him even though he is distinctly different now
