"Our new problem child didn't wake up for almost three hours, but when he did, he showed absolutely no ill effects from Brutal's savage hit. He came to the way he moved - fast. At one moment he was lying on his bunk, dead to the world. At the next he was standing at the bars - he was silent as a cat - and staring out at me as I sat at the duty desk, writing a report on the incident. When I finally sensed someone looking at me and glanced up, there he was, his grin displaying a set of blackening, dying teeth with several gaps among them already. It gave me a jump to see him there like that. I tried not to show it, but I think he knew. "Hey, flunky," he said. "Next time it'll be you. And I won't miss."" Pg 69. ~This is important as Wharton has already attempted to kill one of the guards and was barely stopped. If he tried, he probably could have succeeded.
