Gentur

Gentur was a Kanese marine in the Malazan Military.House of Chains, Chapter 12, US SFBC p.443-444 He wore full armour with a visored helm, and carried a crossbow.House of Chains, Chapter 12, US SFBC p.443
==In House of Chains==
Gentur was stranded on Drift Avalii together with Traveller, Hawl, and other surviving marines after their fleet had had a chance encounter with Tiste Edur ships. Cutter sought out the Malazan survivors to aid Darist and the Tiste Andii in their defence of the island's Throne of Shadow against Edur attack. The Malazans decided to defend the island at Traveller's insistence, and were cut down by the Edur.House of Chains, Chapter 12, US SFBC p.442-447
==In The Bonehunters==
It transpired that Gentur was one of a half-dozen Malazan survivors of the battle on Drift Avalii. Afterwards, Traveller had ordered the Malazans to leave the island aboard one of the Tiste Edur dromons while he continued to defend the island on his own. When they left, their ship was hit by a storm. The survivors were washed ashore on an atoll where they spent months drinking coconut milk and eating clams. Eventually they were rescued and brought to Malaz City by the Jakatakan Fleet.House of Chains, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.649The Bonehunters, Chapter 21
Gentur and fellow castaway, Mudslinger, became regulars together at Coop's Hanged Man Inn. Among the clientele, they befriended Foreigner and largely tried to avoid Master Sergeant Braven Tooth. On the night the Bonehunters returned to Malaz City, Braven Tooth recruited the pair to eliminate the Claw he spotted tailing his friend Banaschar out of the bar. Gentur looked forward to killing a Claw.The Bonehunters, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.860-861 The pair followed Saygen Maral into an alley, but the Claw was aware of them and prepared an ambush. Gentur died with a tiny quarrel to the base of his skull while Mudslinger survived a shot near the heart. Braven Tooth later asked Fiddler to include Gentur's name among those soldiers he remembered with a sad dirge on his instrument.The Bonehunters, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.863-865The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.895
