Changes

A [[Skilled]] half-wit who perceives the [[Skill]] as music. Ostensibly he works in the [[Buckkeep kitchens]], but is actually a servant of [[Chade]]; Thick is supposed to take care of [[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 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'sman. [[Fitz]] estimates his age to be in his late twenties.

He learned the Skill from her his 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 perfomedperformed, the child Thick went among the audience, cutting their purses. Thick doesn't have brothers or sisters, ; according to Prokie her his 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 Thick's mother was found dead one morning, and the rest of the group abandoned Thickhim. In Thick's memories her his mother was a short, stout woman with long greying hair bundled into a knot, with deep lines in her face.
