Boiscul, king of the beggars and the pawless, is a scoundrel, a cornard. Here is a mercenary and man of little faith, he only associates himself with unsavoury acts that he carries out for the benefit of the lords of the place he crosses. Although wicked and cruel, once his wishes have been satisfied, he is said to be a just and fine connoisseur of the soul that annihilates the man of all conditions and riches.
