Rellock was Sorry's father. He lived with his daughter in a small fishing village on the coast of Itko Kan. Their hut was close to the tidemark with a mooring pole opposite. The fishermen from Rellock's village sold their catch in the small market town of Gerrom. Rellock was a wide-shouldered bow-legged man with brown eyes, who was thickly muscled, hairy, and tanned. He had lost an arm in the siege of Li Heng. He was among the rebels holding the city's walls when the Imperial Army retook the city, burning his arm off in the process.
