==In Memories of Ice==
During the Pannion War, Hurlochel was usually at Brood's side or just inside his tent flaps, ready to assist the warlord or deliver messages. He was the one who had salvaged an old Crimson Guard tent from the rubbish heap, where they had dumped it, to serve as Brood's command tent.Memories of Ice, Chapter 3, UK MMPB p.115 Hurlochel confirmed that he still had the beak-strap when Brood asked him during a confrontation with the Great Raven Crone.Memories of Ice, Chapter 3, UK MMPB p.116 He was asked by Brood to get the map of the Pannion DominMemories of Ice, Chapter 3, UK MMPB p.119 and he announced the arrival of the Darujhistan contingent to the alliance talks with the Malazans.Memories of Ice, Chapter 5, UK MMPB p.201
Hurlochel often accompanied Brood on horseback. For example, he was present at the meeting during which Brood was provoked to use his hammer against Kruppe.Memories of Ice, Chapter 15, UK MMPB p.591-599 He was also with Brood, Kallor, and Orfantal as they awaited their wayward ally, Whiskeyjack, and his flotilla at Maurik.Memories of Ice, Chapter 23, UK MMPB p.995
==In The Bonehunters==
Hurlochel was now an outrider in the Malaz 5th Army, Onearm's Host.The Bonehunters, Dramatis Personae He recognised Ganoes Paran when the latter came to the Host's camp outside G'danisban to speak with High Fist Dujek Onearm. Hurlochel informed Paran that Dujek had learned the Temple of Poliel in G'danisban was the source of the plague ravaging Seven Cities. The High Fist had led a company of veterans on an assault to strike at the disease's heart. He expected to face no more than a High Priestess, but instead found the Goddess herself. The company was forced to retreat back to the Army's camp, but Dujek and his officers were all wracked with plague and the Host had lain idle ever since. 
Hurlochel was only happy to follow Paran's orders to get the Host ready for action.The Bonehunters, Chapter 15, US SFBC p.600 His salute did much to endorse Paran's credentials as an officer. However, given that he was officially dead, Paran did not wish to use his real name and Hurlochel suggested that he should pretend to be Captain Kindly, a well-known and feared officer in the Malazan Army.
Paran recalled that Hurlochel had acted as chronicler at times.The Bonehunters, Chapter 13, UK MMPB p.629 When asked by the Captain why he was no longer with Brood's forces, Hurlochel explained that when the alliance broke up, joining Onearm's Host had seemed like a good idea as they seemed to be heading somewhere interesting. He confessed that he regretted that decision.The Bonehunters, Chapter 13, UK MMPB p.631
Hurlochel, Captain Sweetcreek, and Futhgar watched as Paran entered G'danisban with Noto Boil to confront Poliel. Sweetcreek assumed Paran would be killed and told Hurlochel that she was back in command. Before the outrider could reply, the Hounds of Shadow and the Deragoth violently raced through the camp on their way to the temple, sending Sweetcreek sprawling and dropping Hurlochel to his knees in fear. Hurlochel reported seeing pure terror in the lead Hound's eyes.The Bonehunters, Chapter 15, US SFBC p.620-621
Dujek succumbed to the plague and Paran was elected High Fist by the Host's officers to replace him once he returned from G'danisban. When Paran expressed doubt at living up to Dujek's legacy, Hurlochel reminded him: 
Paran, now High Fist and commanding the Host, led the army towards Hanar Ara to investigate a source of power he sensed there.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.809 Along the way, rebel warchief Mathok surrendered himself and his four thousand light cavalry then asked to join the Host. Paran agreed, naming Mathok a Fist and appointing Hurlochel as his liaison. The new Fist was told that he needed to provide Hurlochel with a list of his officers or potential officers.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, UK MMPB p.988 Mathok told Hurlochel that the Sha'ik killed by Adjunct Tavore had in truth been a Malazan, however, as he was preoccupied with re-organising Mathok's cavalry, Hurlochel never reported this conversation to Paran.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, UK MMPB p.989
