Mr. Aitch
The third local mob boss Makina visits in the Little Town before setting out on her quest. A man of few words who always dresses in black and runs a restaurant called “Casino,” Mr. Q is a rival of Mr. Aitch’s, but secures his power by manipulating rather than threatening those around him. Makina previously worked for Mr. Q, helping him deliver messages during a contentious election, so he owes her a favor at the outset of the novel. He is supposed to make sure Makina can get back home after she delivers Cora’s note to her brother.
