Orji (pronounced OHR-jee) was one of the two homeless men found with the blue pox on Mummer's Close on the 6th day of Sap Moon in 1036 KF. Along with Yuvosh he was brought to Urda's House into quarantine, where Briar Moss and Rosethorn cared for him. He was younger than Yuvosh and also more troublesome than the older man. He complained from the infection's pains, didn't sleep well and suspected Briar and Rosethorn of trying to poison him with every new remedy. Orji only appears in Briar's Book and dies in the course of the novel.
