During their journey through a Warren, he briefly encountered Kruppe, who gave him a Rhivi bow and arrows with which to protect the children.

WHITE REAPER TORRENT TORRENT

Torrent took upon himself the responsibility of guarding the twins Stavi and Storii, along with their younger brother Absi, from Olar Ethil. The two joined with Stavi, Storii, and Absi, along with Gruntle, Mappo, and the remaining crew of the Trygalle Trade Guild carriage they had ridden to Kolanse. The children survived in the Barghast camp until Tool's clan of Imass attacked the Senan Barghast clan, while Torrent had accompanied Setoc into the eastern wilderness. Toc sent them away to meet the arriving Barghast forces before his final charge against the Letherii. In Dust of Dreams Īfter the catastrophic defeat of the Awl, Torrent and the children were the only survivors. Torrent was terrified of the fearsome strangers, but joined their company. Onos T'oolan and the newly arrived White Face Barghast found Torrent weeping, and would have slain him and the Awl children but for the revelation that Toc had died to protect them. He was astonished when the Malazan managed to kill ten or more skirmishers before being cut down and his body mutilated. Thinking they were dead anyway, he turned to bear witness to Toc's final moments, and realised he had been wrong to doubt the man's courage. Torrent had not gone far before he noted the arrival of another unknown army approaching on the horizon. Toc hastily handed over his satchel of poetry to Torrent and ordered him to lead the children to safety while he bought them time to escape.

As the fighting wound down, a large group of Letherii skirmishers descended on Toc, Torrent, and a score of Awl children to finish the massacre. Redmask and his Awl were finally defeated at the Battle of Q'uson Tapi where Redmask was killed and his people essentially annihilated. He sneered at Toc's poetry, calling it 'paint.words, like a woman.' Torrent remained out of the action with Toc for the remainder of the Awl Campaign, embittered that he was not allowed to join the fighting and disparaging Toc's bravery. Toc said Torrent was welcome to try, but it was the Awl who would need the prove their courage at Bast Fulmar. The Elder let Toc know that Torrent expected him to break and run, and when he did, Torrent would chase him down and slay him. When the ancient Renfayar Elder visited Toc to accuse him of being a traitor in their midst, Torrent kept quiet watch outside the light of the campfire. He claimed such primitive weapons were proof Toc would be of no use in battle. On the night before the battle, Torrent watched in disgust as Toc inspected the stone-tipped arrows given him by Onos T'oolan. He warned Torrent that his next threat would be his last. Toc reminded the youth he had once stood at former Awl war leader Hadralt's as Toc's Grey Swords had been betrayed and left to die. Torrent felt slighted and was especially angered to be left with Toc, whose courage he claimed was broken. He assigned the youth, alongside Toc Anaster, to train the children in use of bows and knives to ready for their death nights. Redmask felt that the young man needed taking down a peg and kept him behind in the Awl camp before the Battle of Bast Fulmar. The Awl could not identify who walked their lands, but they were not Letherii. From the footprints left behind, they were tall, heavy, and wore moccasins. During the Awl's march to meet the Letherii Eastern Army at Bast Fulmar, Torrent rode ahead to the south and discovered a trail left by a dozen or more men on foot.
