Humpback

"'For all transgressions, both real and imagined, he always punished himself. And almost never commuted his own sentences. He was unforgiving toward his skin, his arms and legs, his fears and fantasies. The itchy sweater was penance for his fears in the night.' - Humpback, Book One, p. 75"

Appearance
"He was born hunchbacked and six-fingered, ugly, apelike. [...] His face was the face of an adult, his eyebrows met above the bridge of his nose, his wild unkempt hair the color of raven feathers spread out like a gorse bush. [...] He was ashamed of his hump and the pimples on his nose. He was ashamed that he didn't need to shave yet, and smoked a pipe to look older."undefined

"Humpback's eyes were like moist prunes, and his eyelashes were so long they looked glued on."undefined

Before the House
We know Humpback came to the House early on and never knew his parents. In his childhood, he dreams of them often.

On the Other Side
Humpback, with the help of Rat and Nanette, is tasked with delivering all the Insensible to homes on the Other Side. He no longer has a hump and wears the hat with rat skulls found by Tabaqui and added to his "nobody's things" collection.
