Saur Bathrada

Saur Bathrada was a Tiste Edur warrior and member of the Third Edur Imperial Fleet. He often fought alongside the like-minded Kholb Harat, who shared his fondness for spilling the blood of innocents and inflicting as much pain and horror as possible while doing so (being unusually sadistic even for Emperor Rhulad Sengar's Tiste Edur). Whenever possible, Saur and Kholb liked to take the lead whenever bloody mayhem was in the offing.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, US HC p.652-653

Several years after the events of "Midnight Tides", Saur accompanied the Third Edur Imperial Fleet under the command of Tomad Sengar to Seven Cities. The fleet was tasked by Emperor Rhulad with terrorising and murdering the people of Seven Cities and finding and returning with suitable champions for the emperor to fight to the death.The Bonehunters, Chapter 16, US SFBC p.664-665 Discovering a slave class of mixed race Edur on Sepik, they sadistically murdered the men, women, and children of an entire village before seizing the Edur as their own slaves.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, US HC p.652-653
The two later joined an expedition with Arapay warlock Sathbaro Rangar, Ahlrada Ahn, and two hundred Edur warriors and sixty Letherii archers to capture the Throne of Shadow on Drift Avalii. But when they arrived at the Throne's location, they were horrified to discover it had been destroyed. Ahlrada Ahn encouraged the warlock to take the enraged Edur to instead capture the T'lan Imass First Throne, none realising the Throne of Shadow's destruction was only Shadowthrone's illusion.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, US HC p.654-656
The First Throne was defended by the child soldiers of Minala's Company of Shadow as well as the renegade Trull Sengar, and the three T'lan Imass, Onrack T'emlava, Ibra Gholan, and Monok Ochem. Kholb and Saur were outraged to recognise Trull and lunged into the fight against him together with Saur shouting, "Trull Sengar! The traitor is before us! You are mine!" Kholb slashed Trull across the left wrist before Ahlrada Ahn attacked Kholb from behind and cut off his head. When Saur turned to confront the treacherous Ahn and stabbing his thigh, Trull dispatched Saur with a spear through the forehead. Unknown to all, Ahlrada Ahn was a light-skinned Tiste Andii spy among the Edur and admirer of Trull.The Bonehunters, Chapter 17, US HC p.549-551The Bonehunters, Chapter 24, US HC p.777-780
