Fan Casting Sand dan Glokta in The First Law Trilogy

A dashing cavalry officer, fencing champion, and poster boy for the Union in his youth, Sand dan Glokta had the world in the palm of his hand - until a reckless charge in the heat of battle got him captured and mercilessly tortured, returned after two years' stay in a dungeon as a broken husk of a man. Friendless, forgotten and with nothing bright in his future, Glokta turns his hand to the thing he understands best: inflicting agony upon those fallen foul of his own government's ruthless Inquisition.
