Lamm serves as a fierce crewmember on the CAT, his horn-grafted head and muscular build making him a standout in the team's assaults, notably lasering Mipp during internal strife. He fights through the temple raid and shuttle escapes on Schar's World, embodying the mercenary grit amid Horza's leadership. His arc ends in the crew's attrition, surviving longer but caught in the novel's escalating disasters.
Description
Below average height but very muscular and dense-looking, he has an aggressive face framed by thinning dark hair with small horn grafts. Double eyebrows arch over piercing eyes. He wears a matte-black suit with a gray-visored helmet, often carrying a laser rifle. His presence is coiled and confrontational, built for brawls.
