Description
Charismatic and handsome, he is popular with many that he meets. He dresses in fine clothing and equips himself with all the necessities of a Sky Pirate Captain, but he is not one, as it is claimed that he won't sign up as a crewmember and work his way up to the position of captain, as is the common way of Sky Pirates. Despite this, he seems to have a good understanding of skyships, and possesses many skills necessary to keep a Skyship running including basic maintenance of flight rocks, cooking, and a knowledge of the many mechanics of a skyship).
His surname derives from a Deepwoods creature of the same name which resembles a harmless log. Whenever an unsuspecting creature walks across it, the Daggerslash acts like a bear trap, trapping the creature within it. Given the events in Clash of the Sky Galleons, it is somewhat fitting that Thaw is given the surname of a creature that is seemingly innocent until the last moment and then it strikes.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
