GRUNCHLK
I met Grunchlk, the Diagnosan Tocot's translator and business manager, when we visited the Ice Planet to seek a cure for Moya's burns. The Diagnosan was gracious and soft-spoken; Grunchlk could not have been more his opposite.
Grunchlk's appearance was distasteful and his manners uncouth, but he was nonetheless a savvy negotiator. He claimed that Tocot had dictated the inordinately high cost of the medical treatments we purchased a claim I did not believe for a microt. With both Moya and Crichton in dire straits, however, we were forced to pay.
Considering how Grunchlk behaved, I did not feel greatly inclined to mourn when Stark reported that Grunchlk was dead.
