A Jhereg underling of Herth. Bajinok was given the task to find an assassin to kill Franz, originally contacting Vlad Taltos (who declined) before hiring Yerekim. Yerekim succeeded in killing Franz, ultimately upsetting Kelly's Movement and Cawti. Vlad necessarily became involved, finding out who murdered Franz, and eventually coming in comflict with Herth. After Vlad killed one of Herth's other enforcers and threatened Bajinok, Herth retaliated by tasking Bajinok with capturing and torturing Vlad. Vlad escaped, and seemed to have killed Bajinok during the final events of Teckla.
