Gentleman Bastard	comment	This series centers around a thief who goes by Locke Lamora, set in a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Venice. A brilliant schemer, accomplished liar and master of disguise, Locke spends each book trying to con his way into a fortune or out of some terrible predicament (usually both at once). The books also use flashbacks to delve into the backstory of Locke's merry gang of tricksters, the Gentleman Bastards, who were all trained by the beggar-priest Father Chains to be devotees of the nameless god of thieves.Scott Lynch has released three of the seven planned books: The Lies of Locke Lamora (June 2006) Red Seas Under Red Skies (July 2007) The Republic of Thieves (October 2013) The Thorn of Emberlain (forthcoming) The Ministry of Necessity (forthcoming) The Mage and the Master Spy (forthcoming) Inherit the Night (forthcoming)Lynch is also planning three novellas to be released by Subterranean Press: The Bastards and the Knives will contain the first two novellas: "The Mad Baron's Mechanical Attic" "The Choir of Knives" And a third with an unknown title.Finally, Lynch is planning a second seven-book series, taking place fifteen or twenty years after the first one.

Gentleman Bastard / int_10cdfe4b	type	Fall Guy
Gentleman Bastard / int_10cdfe4b	comment	Fall Guy: The Grey King intends Locke to be this for him, but he severely underestimates Locke. Jasmer Moncraine for the murder of Baron Boulidazi, who was actually killed by Sabetha after he was fatally wounded by Jenora when he tried to rape her. Notably that this was not the plan originally and Boulidazi's death was going to appear to be an accident, burning to death in a fire. They only pin it on Moncraine after he skips town on the rest of the troupe with all the stolen profits from their performance and leaves the rest of them high and dry, instead of splitting it up amongst the troupe as was originally planned.

Gentleman Bastard / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: Most of Locke's schemes as a child. His plans worked brilliantly, but there tended to be consequences concerning things he either didn't/couldn't know about or didn't factor in, so when things went wrong, they went very wrong. For example, when he first comes to Shades' Hill, he's surplus, a stray who attached himself to the kids the Thiefmaker bought. The Thiefmaker takes him aside and tells him that he'd be happy to train Locke with the others, but he'd need some kind of assurance that Locke would be worth the trouble, at which point Locke produces two purses he stole. That would be ample proof... except that he stole them from the yellowjackets, meaning he broke the Secret Peace by accident. (It gets resolved quickly.)

The rest are for him and Jean. Invoked again during Locke's final encounter with the Gray King where Locke punctuates each lethal stab with the names of his dead friends. An ironic twist: Locke is forced to pretend to be the Gray King and has to fake illness to get out of his part in Barsavi's 'meeting' at the Echo Hole. Anjais promises to deck the Gray King once for Locke, and later does so - to the disguised Locke.

In particular, the Don has at least twice risked his life to defend the helpless. Which may be why the Salvaras come out of the book pretty well.

Maxilan Stragos has an entire floor of his palace filled with an artificial forest, created by artificers and alchemists. Of course, depending on where you draw the line, the protagonists can easily make the cut as well.

Gentleman Bastard / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: The thieves of Camorr will respect agreements with their leaders, and not harm or steal from those who have paid for protection. Priests of the Crooked Warden are obligated to perform various rituals (usually funeral dedications) and can invoke obligations from other thieves. Locke, a priest of the Warden, balks at faking the funeral rite of another god, even to defend his own hide. The process of "Gentling," basically a sort of chemically-induced lobotomy, is considered too cruel to use for punishment, even in a city where child thieves are routinely hanged. And The Thiefmaker basically rules a bunch of psychologically enslaved orphans, some of whom die under his employ, until he can sell them to a gang. He'll even personally kill orphans who cross him after making the correct offerings to the gods. However, he won't sell kids into slavery, especially Sabetha, knowing that Jeremites would rape her to death because of her red hair.

Gentleman Bastard / int_35fb9016	comment	Gratuitous German: The few words we hear of Vadran are nonsense mishmashes of German root words, as opposed to the Romance language roots of Therin words. For example, endliktgelaben is supposed to mean "death desire." It looks like a combination of "endlich," which literally means "endly," and "gelaben," which means "have invited," so it very roughly suggests "invited an end." There really is a German word meaning “death-desire," coined by Sigmund Freud: “Todessehnsucht.”

Revealing one's first name to someone is a mark of incredible trust, because the Bondsmagi can control people by knowing their names, hence the tradition. Unfortunately for the Karthani, while their tradition would work in theory, the Bondsmagi already know all their names (unbeknownst to the Karthani), and have been controlling them as they like for centuries.

Gentleman Bastard / int_4c1a359f	comment	William Fakespeare: Genius Bruiser Jean is a big fan of and likes to quote an in-universe playwright and poet named Lucarno. While the excerpts we get aren't direct quotes from Shakespeare, the general style is very Shakespearean, as are the titles of his plays, and he's obviously used in-story in part because of the author, Scott Lynch's love of Shakespeare. In the second novel, Red Seas Under Red Skies, Jean's romance with noblewoman turned pirate Ezri, who is also a fan, involves a lot of quoting of Lucarno in their flirtations. Also in the book, Jean has an extended debate with a Wicked Cultured pirate, who is a fan of another playwright (probably an analogue of Marlowe or Jonson), who he praises for edifying and erudite political messages, and who scorns Lucarno for his frequent bawdry and lowbrow appeal. In the third novel, Republic Of Thieves, there's a flashback section where the characters acted in one of Lucarno's plays as con artist training, allowing Lynch to write extensive "excerpts" from a Shakespeare pastiche.

In the third book, we learn it was also because they thought the magi of that empire behaved in a way that could ultimately destroy the human race. Well, at least, that's what they say. The Gray King also falls under this trope. Capa Barsavi murdered his parents and half of his siblings, over a disagreement about the Secret Peace that protected the city's nobles from thievery. The Gray King's idea of revenge is to not just kill Barsavi and his entire family, but to give all the noble families (including their children, born years after his family was killed) who benefited from Barsavi's Secret Peace a Fate Worse than Death.

Kingdom of the Seven Marrows is based on the South German/Austrian lands of the Holy Roman Empire. The Vadran language is obviously based on German. Tal Verrar is also based on Venice, as a multi-island realm whose power lies in the fleet. Karthain is a third Venice analogue, a multi-island republic. Jerem has a few references to pre-industrial India. The defunct Therin Empire is hinted to be a sort of Roman Empire. Also, as of Republic of Thieves, the setting's equivilent of the Thirty Years' War has begun.

Patience is revealed at the end of the third book to have genuinely loved Falconer and sought revenge on Locke and Jean, even though she herself knew his death would be necessary and she betrayed him herself. Falconer is shown to be a sadistic, self-serving monster, but he genuinely loves his bird familiar Vestris.

Gentleman Bastard / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: The Gray King later takes the name of Capa Raza, which means "revenge", which is the one and only reason why he is in town. He only uses this name after his revenge has been exacted. Locke thinks that it's a little on the nose. The bondsmagi's assumed names are also self-chosen and usually provide a clue to their bearer's mindset, origins or interests. For example, Coldmarrow named himself in memory of his birthplace (the Kingdom of the Seven Marrows), the Navigator was born on a ship and is obsessed by everything related to the sea, and the Falconer (aside from having a hawk for a familiar) is ruthless as a bird of prey with a facility for manipulating animals. Patience, formerly the Seamstress, lives up to both of her names. She is patient enough to not destroy Locke's chances with Sabetha and enact her full vengeance until he is no longer of any use to him. And she is named Seamstress for her ability to tailor-fit the punishment to match the crime: In exchange for maiming and crippling her son, who can never know the feeling of magic again, she drives away Locke's love interest and reveals details of his future and past while leaving him uncertain, never giving him a full picture. Requin literally means "shark" in French. He's scary, but like most dangerous predators, he's not a threat as long as you respect that he is threatening. If he senses weakness or provocation, he shows no mercy.

There are no out-and-out heroes in the world of this series so far, though the protagonists are at least conscientious enough to avoid random mayhem and try to make it right by anyone they've screwed who didn't deserve it. In other stories, figures like Requin and Capa Barsavi would be monstrous Big Bad types who'd thoroughly crossed the Moral Event Horizon. Here, they're both indispensable and powerful fixtures of their respective cities' underworlds and crucial to local stability, and the reader is invited to sympathize with them to some extent. The Bondsmagi themselves are presented as creepy and malevolent in the first two books but the third one shows that while they are indeed Manipulative Bastards, most of them are not the vicious, sadistic, self-righteous sociopaths the Falconer would have you thinking they are.

Gentleman Bastard / int_8b6e8d7	comment	Anachronic Order: The Lies of Locke Lamora jumps around quite a lot: The chapter where Locke masquerades as a Midnighter (secret cop) who tells the Salvaras about his Spanish Prisoner gambit is told this way. The beginning of the conversation is told from Don Lorenzo's perspective, without revealing to the reader who the Midnighter really is. This is followed by a description of Locke dressing up as a Midnighter, and we see the rest of the conversation from Locke's perspective. Then we see how Calo and Locke broke into the Salvara's manor to surprise the Don in the first place. Other chapters in the series are told in a similar manner, such as the chapter where the Gentleman Bastards initiate the Don Salvara Game. It flips back and forth between the staged mugging and the events leading up to it, the former from both the older gang members' and Bug's points of view. The book also includes lengthy Flash Backs to the gang's upbringing as kids under the tutelage of Father Chains.

Additionally, part of his revenge involved killing Barsavi's entire family before coming for the Capa himself, so that as Barsavi lay dying he would know his entire lineage had been wiped from the world, as if completely erased. By the time the Grey King finally meets his end, his sisters Cheryn and Raiza, the only other surviving members of the Anatolius family, are already dead at Jean's hands, meaning that his family has been wiped away as well. Boulidazi, who spends a good chunk of his time in Republic of Thieves perving on Sabetha, and whose last act is trying to rape Jenora, is mortally wounded by the latter and finished off by the former.

And way back when the Thiefmaker was first trying to sell Locke to Father Chains, he mentioned that there were problems with Locke in his care that would vanish if Chains took him in. Chains sarcastically replies with, "Oh. You have a magic boy. Why didn't you say so?" Rather prescient of him, considering we find out in the third book that Locke was a mage in his previous life. The flashbacks we see of young Locke portray him as being cavalier about the death of his fellow orphans, even by the standards of Shades Hill. Makes sense when you learn he was a necromancer who was experimenting with illegal death magic on Camorr's poor. In the second book, Locke and Jean encounter Jeremite Redeemers, religious fanatics who believe that they are the only salvation for Jerem's sins. No explanation of what those sins are is given... until the third book, when Sabetha explains that at least one of those sins is the Jeremite custom of circumcising and raping redheaded girls of any and all ages to death.

Unfortunately, he was unaware of the agreement that protected guardsmen from thieves, and the Thiefmaker has to spend a lot of money to smooth things over. Later, Locke plants money on a bully to make it seem like the he's on the take from the guards, hoping that the bully will be punished. However, Locke doesn't realize that not only is collaborating with the guards a capital offense among the thieves, the coin he planted is valuable enough that it could only be given for a major job, such as killing the Thiefmaker. The Thiefmaker promptly kills the bully as well as his friend. The end of the second book covers a massive failure; Locke has spent the entire book on a plot to rob a casino, and it goes off flawlessly — except that the casino owner was one step ahead the whole time and the paintings he steals are fakes, put out for the express purpose of being stolen.

Gentleman Bastard / int_b7b1aa73	comment	And Then What?: While the Gentlemen Bastards are top-notch con-men, they ultimately have no idea what they're supposed to do with their fortune, especially since any Conspicuous Consumption would attract the wrong kind of attention. While Red Seas Under Red Skies reveals that they're fulfilling one of the mandates of the Crooked Warden - namely, to remind the rich that they're not untouchable - they're still stuck with forty-three thousand crowns worth of money that they can't use. When Locke gets roped into the Gray King's plans, the Gentlemen Bastards immediately plan to get out of Dodge and use the fortune to set themselves up elsewhere. However, said fortune is stolen in order to pay for the Falconer's services, and Locke ultimately tricks Dona Vorchenza into sinking both the Gray King's ship and said fortune as a death offering to Calo, Galdo, and Bug.

In Lies of Locke Lamora, he pretended to have Black Whisper (a virulent disease that only kills adults) in order to empty out a pub so he and his friends could rob it. It's just too bad that the resulting panic/riot burned it down. The crew of the Satisfaction - the Gray King's ship - trick the Camorr city guard into believing that they're a plague ship, allowing them to sneak the Bastards' stolen fortune aboard as provisions. After saving Camorr's nobility from being Gentled, Locke uses the threat of the plague to get Vorchenza to destroy the Satisfaction, keeping said stolen fortune out of the Gray King's hands.

Gentleman Bastard / int_f6b698ac	comment	Complexity Addiction: Locke could live a comfortable life off the profits of simple theft, but where's the fun in that? Instead, he goes for plans that start at "Too Clever by Half" and get more complex from there. Even when he was a kid, he would throw half of Camorr into chaos just to make his daily theft quota. Patience in Republic of Thieves comes off this way. Her plan includes sabotaging the Falconer so he would drive himself to madness when attempting to block out pain (hoping that he would be killed in the process), saving Locke's life despite secretly hating him and getting him to participate in the 5 Year Game, telling him not to hang out with Sabetha, interrupting his hanging out with Sabetha and revealing the Lamor Acanthus story (thus ruining their relationship), having Coldmarrow fake-turncoat and let Foresight overhear the Acanthus reveal, having Coldmarrow encourage Foresight to initiate a coup, then murdering every opposing wizard on election night after Locke and Jean implode the Karthani political scene before that attempted coup could actually start, then extra-ruining Locke and Sabetha's relationship by showing Sabetha a portrait of Acanthus and his wife, then freeing Falconer's mind and revealing her part in his breakdown before leaving him alone in what she expects will be a fate worse than death in a city that will shortly be falling to ruin.

He doesn't succeed, but he manages to somehow reincarnate himself in a younger body, in order to have more time to study death magic.

Locke is instantly smitten with Sabetha and soon afterwards learns that she has red hair, which he thinks is beautiful. When they're older, he tries to convince her that it's proof he loves the real her. Unfortunately, he's unaware he's stepped on an internal landmine - there's a superstition in Jerem that having sex with a virgin red-head will cure all manner of illnesses. They're sometimes even raped to death by a line of the afflicted. For this reason, Sabetha usually keeps her hair dyed or covered. Locke's declaration is the very last thing she ever wants to hear from a potential lover. Later still, Sabetha worries that her hair might be all he really loves, because the bondsmagi claim that he is the reincarnation of a mage who loved a red-headed woman. However, the reader knows that this isn't true because we see from his perspective that Locke falls in love with her before seeing her hair.
