The Netflix serial publication combines the stories into one tale , imply several detail of the story and characters had to be rush through , including Kaz ’s mobster moniker “ Dirtyhands . ”
Though Kaz is only seventeen in the Christian Bible , he ’s carefully cultivated a dreadful repute that inspire dread in everyone in the New York - underbelly - inspired Barrel . This reputation for being willing to commit any sine , no matter how horrifying , became so pervasive that Kaz earned the nickname Dirtyhands . When Kaz has his final showdown against fellow family boss Pekka Rollins , that repute could have been more expressed if the show had utilize that nickname more often .
Kaz’s Dirtyhands Nickname Is More Important In The Shadow & Bone Books
In theSix of Crowsbooks , “ Dirtyhands ” is more than just a sobriquet . Kaz fatigue leather glovesat all times , and no one , even his fellow Crows , experience that the real reason for them is that he suffers from PTSD - induced haphephobia . Instead , his cruel repute pair with the leather glove only makes him seem more horrific : rumors circulate that his script are really demon claw or sully ruby-red with blood . Kaz employ this fear as a way to airt attention from his weaknesses and turn them into intimidation .
Most character in the Quran screw him primarily by the name Dirtyhands , and Kaz take on every opportunity to hold out up to the name .
