Hedge
Race: Human (Malazan) | Role: Bridgeburner sapper, ghostSummary
Hedge is a Bridgeburner sapper and Fiddler's partner-in-demolitions. Killed during the events in Seven Cities, his ghost persists with the same irrepressible energy and love of explosives. His spectral existence across multiple books and eventual reunion with Fiddler is one of the great payoffs of the series.
