==In House of Chains==
Astabb was amongst a group of Slavemaster Silgar's warriors hunting for the escaped Karsa Orlong in Silver Lake. Astabb was with Borrug and another three or four people, checking out a house where unbeknown to them, Karsa was hiding in the attic. When told to check upstairs by Borrug, Astabb suggested not to bother as all was quiet. They had already been through several other houses were they found nothing but the slain inhabitants and Astabb did not want to lose his/her breakfast which had almost happened at the last place of slaughter. Astabb also reasoned that the Uryd could be slaying people elsewhere at that very moment. Borrug agreed and the group left.House of Chains, Chapter 2, UK MMPB p.154
Given that Borrug was with Silgar, Astabb may also have been one of the hunters accompanying the Slavemaster to the place where Karsa had been caught by a squad of the Ashok Regiment and who were put under arrest with Silgar by Captain Kindly.House of Chains, Chapter 2, UK MMPB p.159-162House of Chains, Chapter 3, UK MMPB p.164 One of the group perished when the ship they were transported on, sank. The others then further pursued Karsa and Torvald Nom who had also managed to survive the sinking. By the time only Silgar, Damisk and Borrud remained, Astabb, if he had been with the group, had presumably died.House of Chains, Chapter 3, UK MMPB p.187/213
