Sconner Nobbs was the father of Nobby Nobbs and was generally in the Tanty - the City Watch jail. A petty thief and looter, he was also a vicious drunkard who used to beat Nobby violently - he used to break his arms. Nobby's elbow still twinges on cold days - a permanent reminder of his father. Once, when he was sober for two whole days, he made Nobby a set of wooden soldiers, whose boots came off and whose teeth could be pulled out: essential education for the young Nobbs, of whom it has been said that the last thing many a wounded soldier on a battlefield ever saw was Nobby coming towards them with a knife and a calculating look.
Wore a gold ring around his neck, which was appropriated by Nobby as Sconner lay dying.
