Sobelone

Sobelone was a Sergeant in the Heavy infantry, 9th Company, 8th Legion of the Malaz 14th Army. She was a typical mixed breed from Malaz City. Sobelone was a severe-looking woman with streaks of grey in her shoulder-length black hair, and eyes the colour of the sky. 
She was older than her fellow sergeants in the Heavies, Mosel and Tugg, but Tugg was the biggest.House of Chains, Chapter 22, UK MMPB p.848 The three had a threatening air about them that had less to do with size than attitude, and were similar enough in look that they could almost be siblings.House of Chains, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.713

==In House of Chains==
Sobelone's squad was part of Adjunct Tavore Paran's punitive expedition against the Army of the Apocalypse. There had been a restructuring of the 8th Legion and soon after the army arrived at Raraku, several of the sergeants from those squads who would join the Marines of 9th Company dropped in on Strings to introduce themselves. Amongst them were Sobelone and her fellow sergeants, Mosel and Tugg. Sobelone did not speak during the meeting.
Moak, sergeant of the 11th squad, seemed to 'know things' but supposedly only shared his speculations with Tugg and Sobelone.House of Chains, Chapter 22, UK MMPB p.863
==In The Bonehunters==
After the Battle of Raraku, Leoman led the Army of the Apocalypse westward to Y'Ghatan and the 14th Army followed. Once the 14th Army reached the city's outskirts, an impromptu wrestling match broke out between Saltlick and Shortnose after Saltlick bit Shortnose's ear off. The rest of Sobelone and Tugg's squads gathered around the two straining men, watching and placing bets.The Bonehunters, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.241
Adjunct Tavore launched the Last Siege of Y'Ghatan by sending the army's sappers to breach the city's wall under the cover of night. First into the city were the Malazan marines, followed quickly by the heavy and medium infantry. Once inside the city, the Malazans immediately came under attack from hidden archers and warriors. Sobelone and Toles were killed in one such ambush.The Bonehunters, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.291-292/298-301
