Squint (mercenary)

Squint was a senior scout who was part of a troop of Malazan mercenaries under the leadership of "Cap'n" Yusen. This band of mercenaries gave every sign of being composed of experienced veterans of one of the various Imperial Malazan Armies.Blood and Bone, Chapter 1, US HC p.41-43Blood and Bone, Chapter 2, US HC p.93Blood and Bone, Chapter 13, US HC p.486
==In Blood and Bone==
The most recent contract taken by Squint and the rest of the mercenary troop had brought the mercs to the Isle of Jacuruku. Subsequent events found the band forced to enter and then travel through the extremely hostile environment of the Jungle of Himatan in search of a way off of the island.Blood and Bone, Chapter 3, US HC p.116
At one point, Squint and his fellow senior scout, Sweetly, returned to the main column of mercenaries to report that there were two women - non-local, "civilian" types - apparently waiting for the mercenaries ahead. After conferring with Burastan, the mercenary troop's lieutenant, the two scouts were then sent to talk to the group's two mages, Sour and Murk. Squint was the one to actually speak to the mages, "talking for Sweetly, as usual", to tell them that one of the women had "the look of a mage" while the other woman was masked, "like a Seguleh". Murk admitted that he felt nothing unusual about the women, while Sour could sense that they were not hostile. Burastan, having decided that they would see what the women wanted, told Squint and Sweetly to send their "boys and girls wide in case there's more of them" and then went to approach the women along with the two Malazan mages. Squint and Sweetly immediately moved off to do as they had been instructed.Blood and Bone, Chapter 13, US HC p.486-487
