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:
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“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)
“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)
