A [[Skilled]] half-wit who perceives the [[Skill]] as music. Ostensibly he works in the [[Buckkeep kitchens]], but is actually a servant of [[Chade]] who is supposed to take care of his [[Chade's tower room|tower room]]. Later he appears to be Prince [[Dutiful]]'s favourite, or pet, but he is in truth a part of Dutiful's [[Skill-coterie]].
He is short and pudgy, has small ears that are snug close to his head and a raggedly cropped hair. He keeps the end of his tongue pushed out of his mouth and the set of his eyelids makes him appear sleepy. His clothes are were at first second-hand and too big for him, but since his talent was discovered, he's had clothes that mark him as the Prince's. [[Fitz]] estimates his age to be in late twenties.
He learned the Skill from her mother as a music that she sang to him. She was a part of a travelling group of musicians with [[Prokie]] and [[Jimu]], and while they perfomed, Thick went among the audience, cutting their purses. Thick doesn't have brothers or sisters, according to Prokie her mother was too old, and that's why Thick was born the way he is. It is unclear whether Prokie was his real father, but in any case he refused to call him father. The group came to [[Buckkeep]] for the [[Springfest]] of the same year that Chade took him in as a servant. Her mother was found dead one morning, and the rest of the group abandoned Thick.
