Willy Tyburn

Willy Tyburn is a highwayman known as  'The Terror of King's Road', who was being transported to Absalom at the same time as Robert.

He is a supporter of Kenever, and sends some of the money he steals to Guye to support his cause. Robert remembers Piers Ambrose being one of the people stopped by Tyburn along the road.

He acts as an interpreter for Vetch, who cannot speak after having his tongue cut out.

After shaking his hand, Robert assumes him to be ambidextrous.
