Chapaou is introduced as the driver of coach sixteen, a practical figure at the edge of events. At the Decan Street Soothing parlor, he becomes a witness to a frightening upheaval, left shivering, clutching his legs, and weeping as he paces by the window. His brief appearance makes the terror of the moment feel immediate and human.
Description
Chapaou is short and balding, with a compact frame that folds inward as he shivers. His face is marked by tears and distress, and he clutches at his legs while pacing unsteadily beside a window. He wears the plain, practical clothes of a coach driver; no finer details of his coloring or features are specified.
