Whipp Sadiss was a member of Stud Bronzen's crew of human traffickers. He wore round eyeglasses and had a thick, unkempt beard. Whipp was Bronzen's second-in-command on the fast ship that Bronzen was assigned to captain. Whipp joined Bronzen in his abuse of the Chinese immigrants that they were smuggling, but Whipp disapproved of Bronzen's recklessness and drinking. When the drunk Bronzen took control of the ship's wheel and rammed a rowboat (presumably killing the occupants), Whipp struck Bronzen in the head with a pipe, knocking him unconscious. Bronzen did not remember the incident upon regaining consciousness.
