@sixofcrowsnet heist: personality traits

“brick by brick, i will destroy you.”

He had often wondered how people survived this city, but it was possible Ketterdam would not survive Kaz Brekker.

Crooked Kingdom, Leigh Bardugo

KAZ BREKKER 

↳ requested by @bluesdechocobo

“ ‘you see, every man is a safe, a vault of secrets and longings. now, there are those who take the brute’s way, but i prefer a gentler approach - the right pressure applied at the right moment, in the right place. it’s a delicate thing.’ 

‘do you always speak in metaphors, mister brekker?’

kaz smiled. “it’s not a metaphor.”

he was out of his chair before his chains hit the ground. ”

— “he’d heard brekker’s name in prison, and the words associated with him - criminal prodigy, ruthless, amoral. they called him dirtyhands because there was no sin he would not commit for the right price.”

you’ve got the devil’s own blood in you, boy.

he thumbed quickly through the ledger and said, “when people see a cripple walking down the street, leaning on his cane, what do they feel?” wylan looked away. people always did when kaz talked about his limp, as if he didn’t know what he was or how the world saw him. “they feel pity. now, what do they think when they see me coming?”
wylan’s mouth quirked up at the corner. “they think they’d better cross the street.”

ketterdam is made of monsters.

happy birthday, mariela! 

@sixofcrowsnet heist:  backstory

There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken. No one knew who he was. No one knew where he came from. He’d become Kaz Brekker, cripple and confidence man, bastard of the Barrel.

“No mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for ‘good luck.”
