Seguleh Twelfth

The Seguleh Twelfth was amongst Rhulad Sengar's challengers who bore eleven arcane glyphs on her porcelain mask.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 7, UK BCA edition p.175 The Twelfth was described as having a midnight gaze and dark hair that hung in greasy strands down her shoulders. She carried a thin-bladed longsword in each gloved hand and moved like a cat with perfect balance.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 11, US HC p.291-292
She wore plain leather armour.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.778

The Seguleh was amongst the prisoners brought in as challengers for Emperor Rhulad in Letheras. She had been picked up from a storm-battered scow south of Callows and had been near dead at the time. The name Seguleh gave Samar Dev a pause as it was a First Empire word meaning "The Anvil". The scholar surmised her people had been a remnant clan from the empire's colonial period.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 11, US HC p.289
The woman never gave her name, did not speak to the other combatants, and initially did not fight.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 11, UK BCA edition p.306 When she finally chose Karsa Orlong as her opponent in the practice ring, all the other champions, including Icarium, gathered to watch. The fight was over in seconds. Karsa pounded down hard on the packed sand with one foot, hard enough to stagger onlookers, which interrupted the woman's lithe dance for the barest fraction of a second, but enough for Karsa to strike her hands with the flat of his sword, breaking both her wrists. Despite that, as she toppled over, the aimed a kick at his crotch. Karsa grabbed the leg, then the other one and held her dangling in the air. She was then attended by the healers.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 11, UK BCA edition p.309/310/312
She later left the city during the Bonehunters' siege of Letheras. Fiddler and Cuttle were investigating the locked door at the end of a hidden tunnel beneath the city walls, when she opened the door from within. The two sappers were quick-thinking enough to lower their glances the instance they realised they were faced with a Seguleh. They came across slaughtered Letherii guards further on who seemed to have made the mistake not to do so. The door she opened to escape allowed the Marines easy entrance into the city.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 24, UK BCA edition p.851/852
