"Kaboom" Redaxe was one of two assassins who were hired to kill the King of Nowhere, along with his Shadowdancer partner. He is an amorous dwarf (he claims the Vestal Virgins were renamed after his time with them), who is armed with an arquebus and has a penchant for explosives. Their original plan was to assassinate the king before he joined the King of Somewhere at a peace conference at the Weary Travelers Inn and Tavern, and though his partner offered a plan to kill him by going through shadows, Redaxe had to point out that as they were part of a stick comic, there were no shadows.
