Ibor Thorn

Character overview

Ibor Thorn, also known as Eibor Thorne, is a worker at Sandpoint's lumber mill and Banny Harker's partner in its operation.

• An older and considerably more grounded man, Ibor provides a practical counterweight to his younger colleague's more distracted energies.
• The mill functions well in no small part because Ibor applies competence and attention, and does not leave necessary work undone.
• He is not a particularly social man, content to do his work and leave the town's more complicated dramas to others.
• During his morning shift, he discovered bodies at the mill and was visibly shaken, tear-streaked, and bloodstained.
• He refused Banny Harker's offer to help skim money.
• He observed Colton Samuankuk collecting logs marked for another lumber company and believes the collector works for Jubrayl Vhiski.
• He is concerned for his ill mother and in need of work.
• His account of discovering the bodies may provide crucial information about the crime.
• His observations about the logs and their collection connect him to knowledge of criminal activity.
• His refusal to help skim money may affect his future decisions.
