Pikehead Nokko was the chieftain of the Gonfelin Thieves, descendant of Gonff the Mousethief, the father of Spingo (his favorite daughter), Gobbo, Tingo, and Bumbo, and the grandfather of Andio. He had many wives, the main one being Filgo, as well as many children. He helped with the search for the Doomwyte jewels. He was accused of stealing the Doomwyte jewels, but it was found to be a setup planned by Tugga Bruster, who planted the chieftain's Sandbag weapon at the scene and stole the jewels himself. He was a key general in the fight against the Painted Ones.
