Black O'Malley is a character who appears in Halt's Peril. He is a smuggler who is accompanied with two other smugglers who also act as his bodyguards: Nialls and Dennis. O'Malley is feared by a vast amount of people due to his temper and intelligence, making him a foolish man to cross to the ordinary commoner. Black O'Malley's name comes from the black scar that mars part of his face, during a fight, a torch struck O'Malley and the burning pitch left a permanent black scar.
