A powerful Mage, perhaps ranking High Mage, of Li Heng before it was taken by the Malazan Empire. Acted as a squad mage and corporal under Storo Matash on Genabackis.

"A slim, pale man now sat at the next table. He wore a fine dark silk shirt, vest, and trousers now faded and worn."

RotCG, US mmpb, p.171 

"Silk answered with an enigmatic smile of his own - one that Hurl had seen turn many a girl's head.

'What do you mean?' asked Shaky.

'I mean Silk here showed a lot more tricks tonight than ever before. Those two mages must've been damned good but he kept both busy. How does a plain squad mage manage that?'"

RotCG, US mmpb, p.215

"'Truth is, I happen to be from Heng. I grew up here. This is home turf for me. I pull more out of myself here than anywhere.'"

RotCG, US mmpb. p.216 

"'You were a city mage back then, weren't you? When Kellanved came.' The man was silent for a time. Perhaps he thought it too obvious for comment...'She wouldn't flee. We...everyone, should've known she'd never abandon her city.'

The hairs on the back of Hurl's neck and arms prickled. Her. Shalmanat. Protectress of Li Heng for millennia...Her gaze slid sideways to the slim mage with long blond hair and tattered silks - always an object of mockery and scorn among the troops."

RotCG, US mmpb. p.222-223 

"'Come! You who have been gone so long! Grant us a glimpse of that which has gone out from the World! Show us how it was when Light first cleaved Night! Bless us with a vision of Pure Undiluted Light, Kurald Liosan!'" 

RotCG, US mmpb. p.233
