Little Taylor

Little Tailor (also known as the Gray Phantom) was introduced on page 201 of book 2, when he effortlessly took out all of the thugs in the Stumpy Boarhound to prove to the Liam, Frederic and Ella that he was he right man for the job. He told them Deeb dauber had ruined his life, even though he was really his idol. He trained for years in the art of string chi, and has demonstrated several times it was a deadly art. With only his spool of thread, he heads to Deeb's cattle with them as their supposed inside man, the Grey Phantom. However, little do they know, he is the real Grey Phantom, and turns over Liam and Frederic to Deeb Rauber in an attempt to please him. It backfires, however,and Rauber dismiss him as just another fool trying to please him. Later during the circus at Deeb's castle, Little Tailor goes down to the prison to talk to Liam and Frederic. He mocks them, pretending he might let them out. But the prison guard, Wrathgar, hears him, and thinks he might be a traitor. In an effort to stop Little Tailor, the buff and clumsy prison guard attempts to push him aside, but instead knocks him through a wall and kills him. The only thing left of the deranged Grey Phantom was his ominous spool of thread, rolling out of the rubble.
