Nok Lek is one of Carroll's men, a Shan boy of around fifteen years of age. He believes strongly in Carroll and has a huge amount of respect and loyalty for him. He will do anything Carroll asks. He is friendly towards Edgar and seems to accept him as a friend because Carroll likes him. Nok Lek is also a skilled fighter despite his young age. He accompanies Edgar and Khin Myo to Mae Lwin, and then goes with Edgar when he leaves. He is shot by the British, who now think that Carroll and Edgar are traitors.
