Karsa Orlong is known only as The Toblakai. His birth name is known only by the members of his tribe. Karsa's tribe is a tribe of giants from the border of Creation in the East. Karsa himself stands so tall as to make a full grown adult male look like a child in proportion. He is, even amongst giants, an unbelievably well muscled man. His head, face, neck, and upper shoulders are marred by a hyper realistic tattoo of shattered glass that makes it look as if he himself has shattered. Karsa's sword stands as tall as he and half as wide, made of flint that does not break.
