* HurtingHero / StoicWoobie: After you put together all the pieces from the backstory and the novelization. Thrust into leadership as a child after the death of his father and almost everyone else he knew, lived through a disastrous invasion, had his clan be near-massacred yet again for him opposing the idea of another war, left his people to join his enemy in a desperate effort to prevent that war, which caused his wife to reject him and made him a wanted fugitive, hunted by his former clanmates and kin and forcing him to kill them in self-defense. He also married twice, was widowed once, had at least three children, and outlived all of them (Though later novels RetCon it so that his youngest son survived). And then it turns out that his difficult decision of throwing his old life away and cooperating with humans [[spoiler: actually advanced the villain's schemes.]] He never complains - in fact, it takes a lot of reading between the lines to realize how worn out he is. That, or taking the Oracle of Aal's word for it.

Abuk paid little heed to this until he noticed that unfamiliar items somehow appear within the chest sometimes. One day, Mitchel Waylander came to him and told him that items lost at the mysterious Prank's Stone somehow ended up inside this very chest. The pair then worked out a deal: Mitchel would lure victims to the Prank's Stone and Abuk would sell the lost items taken from the chest, splitting the profits between the both of them. They each also agreed to never learn the other's name so that if one of them got caught, the other would be safe.

For a price, Abuk can demonstrate some of his skills to others. He even considers life itself to be much like lockpicking, seeing little difference between opening a lock and opening oneself to new experiences.
* SecretKeeper: About 20 years ago, Abuk purchased for 10 gold sovereigns a chest that the seller claimed would bring good fortune. Abuk paid little heed to this until he noticed that unfamiliar items somehow appear within the chest sometimes. One day, Mitchel Waylander came to him and told him that items lost at the mysterious Prank's Stone somehow ended up inside this very chest. The pair then worked out a deal: Mitchel would lure victims to the Prank's Stone and Abuk would sell the lost items taken from the chest, splitting the profits between the both of them. They each also agreed to never learn the other's name so that if one of them got caught, the other would be safe.
* SpannerInTheWorks: A Nighthawk once attempted to open Abuk's personal money box, only to be killed by its [[BoobyTrap booby trap]]. From the Nighthawk's corpse, Abuk retrieved a silver spider, a unique tool used by assassins to [[PoisonedWeapons poison their weapons]]. Later, Abuk sold the silver spider to the Bas-Tyra regiment investigating Nighthawk activities. The spider eventually comes into James' possession during his own investigation.
