Sidilack

Sidilack was a 'wise veteran' of the Gral Bhok'ar clan, sometimes known as 'Snaketongue' because of a sword wound which had slit his tongue in half from root to tip. He was in charge of a contingent of seventy-four Gral warriors within the Karasch Legion, directly commanded by Vorlock Duven, but under the overall leadership of Dessimbelackis, the Emperor of the Human First Empire.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 15, US TPB p.427

According to the Gral lore remembered by Taralack Veed, Sidilack and his force spent three years on a campaign of conquest against the desert and plains peoples south of Ugari. Then two months before the 'Great Fall' of the Crippled God, they were sent by Commander Vorlock Duven into the forbidding Tasse Hills in the southwest wastes of what was to become the continent of Seven Cities, to initiate the conquest and subjugation of the indigenous Tasse people who were thought to rule the area. Sidilack and his seventy-four Gral had been chosen by Vorlock Duven for this first strike because they were more adept at fighting in untamed, hilly, forested country than her regular soldiers would have been. 
Sidilack and his warriors not only succeeded in subduing the Tasse, but also in essentially wiping them out, due to the Tasse having all been found to be in very bad physical shape and to be very few in number. The sole-survivor was a two- or three-year-old girl who was saved by the sudden appearance of seven terrible hounds and an unnamed god amidst a darkness of shadows. The god had cold blue eyes, long black hair, and an ankle-length coat of blued chain. He did not decry the slaughter of the Tasse, who had been abandoned by the Deragoth and had failed life's struggle, but he claimed the girl for his own. The one-sided, unprovoked, complete slaughter of the Tasse and their less-than-human child weighed heavily on Sidilack's mind and soul for the rest of his very unhappy life. No cleansing ritual could clean the blood off his hands and Gral were forbidden from suicide. He was said to have wandered in the Dead Man's Desert where even the noble spirits refused him.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 15, US TPB p.427-428
