Torbal Loat

Torbal Loat was the leader of a band of soldiers who had staked out an area of the ruined Moon's Spawn. He was fat, unshaven and his hair hung in a tangled mess around a bald dome on his head. He wore several rings on his hands.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 13 At some point during before the Genabackan campaigns, he had carved some territory out for himself in the North, before being driven out by the Malazans. Antsy had participated in that campaign and hence remembered Torbal's name.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 13, UK large PB p.509

Torbal's men captured Antsy, Corien and Orchid and he offered them food and a part of their profits if the group served under him. All three accepted tentatively, but as soon as they got a chance, they escaped with the help of Orchid's magery.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 13
As Moon's Spawn started sinking after Antsy had discharged his munitions in an attempt to open the door that led to the Throne of Night, Torbal's men desperately attacked the Malazan marines trying to get to these gates that might have held an escape route out of the Spawns. The Malazans and the rest of the defenders managed to hold them long enough for Orchid to open the door, and then closed the doors. Torbal, along with his men presumably drowned as the Spawn sank.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 16
