I read _The Book of the New Sun_ a couple of years ago, and only now
read _The Urth of the New Sun_. I though I remembered it well enough
so that I didn't need to reread before starting on _Urth_, and most of
the names I encountered I did remember, but one name escapes me:
Hildegrin. I completely forgot who he was. Can someone remind me?

One of Vodalus's men.  The last chapter of _Claw_ is,perhaps, the
one to read; I had forgotten this action before reading _Urth_.

Was Hildegrin "the Badger", or was that somebody else?
