Anomander Rake

Anomander Rake [Ahno-man-der] also known by his titles of the Lord of Moon's Spawn, Son of Darkness and Knight of DarknessGardens of the Moon, Dramatis Personae, UK MMPB p.xv was the leader of the Tiste Andii. He was said to be "seated on the Throne of Sorrow"; a reflection of the loss and apathy his people had suffered.
Baruk described Rake as having jet-black skin, a mane which flowed silver and features, sharp as if cut from onyx. The Tiste was nearly seven feet tall and on that occasion was cloaked and wore boots. He carried the enormous two-handed sword Dragnipur on his back.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 6, UK MMPB p.210-212 There, it was "surrounded in its own breath of preternatural darkness."Memories of Ice, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.633
Rake's eyes were described as multihued with a slight upward tilt and large vertical pupils. Baruk perceived them as changing colour from a deep hue of amber to grey and banded, a rainbow of colours changing depending on Rake's mood. Whilst with Baruk, Rake's eye colour was in turn green, dun, grey and black.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 6, UK MMPB p.210-213 When Paran encountered Rake, he describe their colour as a deep, cold blue which lightened to sky blue a short while later.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 15, UK MMPB 474/475
As a mage he made use of the Elder Warren of Kurald Galain.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 2, UK MMPB p.75 Baruk could feel the power emanating from Rake and judged him to be more powerful than the Malazan High Mage, Tayschrenn.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 6, UK MMPB p.212
By the time of Gardens of the Moon, Rake disliked the title "Son of Darkness", saying it was used "by those fools who think me worthy of worship."Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 17, US HC p.365

Shortly after the sundering of Kurald Emurlahn, the Malazan world was invaded through a violent rent by the combined armies of Silchas Ruin's Tiste Andii and Scabandari Bloodeye's Tiste Edur. After the invaders defeated an army of K'Chain Che'Malle, Scabandari betrayed his fellow commander and noted that Silchas Ruin was brother to Anomandaris Irake and Andarist. Scabandari claimed that Anomander had broken with his mother and kind before vanishing forever. The Tiste Edur was unaware that Rake already resided in the Malazan world with an earlier group of Andii settlers.Midnight Tides, Prologue, US SFBC p.19-23
The Elder Gods, Mael and Kilmandaros, moved against Scabandari and his army with Gothos' assent. But the Jaghut warned them to be quick about it as Rake was growing aware of Scabandari's presence. Mael brushed his concerns aside saying Osserc moved to stand in Rake's path.Midnight Tides, Prologue, US SFBC p.24-25 Later, Menandore and Sukul Ankhadu encountered a battered and burned Osserc who claimed to have delayed Rake long enough for Scabandari to escape.Midnight Tides, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.230
In modern times, Udinaas and Feather Witch accidentally travelled to the Refugium where they met the Imass, Ulshun Pral, and the boy, Rud Elalle. Ulshan Pral spoke of a Hold the two Letherii had never heard of called Starvald Demelain, home of the pure dragons. He noted that a group of mixed bloods, which included Rake, had closed the road to the Hold long ago.Midnight Tides, Chapter 15, US SFBC p.485
The people of Bluerose, who resembled very dark-skinned Tiste Edur, were said to worship someone called the Black-Winged Lord.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19, US TPB p.463
==In The Bonehunters==
Edgewalker followed Cotillion to a stone circle in the Shadow Realm where the three Eleint, Ampelas, Eloth, and Kalse, were chained. The Eleint revealed that they had long ago attempted to seize the Throne of Shadow, but were stopped by the vengeance of Anomandaris and his Tiste Andii. Their attackers were thorough in their destruction of Kurald Emurlahn, insisting the throne remain unclaimed, and resulting in the imprisonment of the three Eleint.The Bonehunters, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.76
The Tiste Andii of Bluerose possessed an ancient tapestry depicting Mother Dark and the three brothers born in Darkness who were her most cherished children: Andarist, Anomandaris Purake, and Silchas Ruin. But all three had eventually been cast out by her. Andarist was the first, after Mother Dark made an accusation of betrayal that all knew to be mistaken. Filled with unbearable grief, he accepted his banishment by Mother Dark, but vowed to continue his guardianship of her from exile. Anomander and Silchas saw Mother Dark's turning away from her son as a crime and Anomander confronted her. Afterwards, he too walked away, denying the Darkness in his blood and seeking out the Chaos that ever warred in his veins. Silchas Ruin's indecision and failed efforts to forge reconciliation led to the greatest betrayal of all—an alliance with Shadow.The Bonehunters, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.683-684
War had broken out amongst the Tiste and Ruin allied with Scabandari to flee through the gates to the Malazan world. After Scabandari's betrayal, Ruin's surviving Andii fled and found sanctuary in the caves deep below the Bluerose Mountains where they founded the Bluerose Kingdom. The Bluerose venerated Rake and the High King of Bluerose was known as the Supreme Servant of the Black Winged Lord. The Bluerose spy, Ahlrada Ahn, was surprised to hear Anomander's name spoken by Taralack Veed, a captive of the Edur. The Bluerose believed that the Black Winged Lord dwelt at the Gates of Darkness. Ahlrada Ahn was astonished to hear Veed explain that Rake actually lived in the floating fortress, Moon's Spawn, and had been defeated in a sorcerous contest with the Malazans on a distant continent above a city called Pale.The Bonehunters, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.734-736
The surviving Andii from Drift Avalii made their way to Malaz City where Master Sergeant Braven Tooth encountered them in Coop's Hanged Man Inn. He learned that one of them, Nimander Golit, was the first son of Rake. Also among them was Phaed, Nimander's daughter (and Rake's granddaughter). She told Braven Tooth her mother was Lady Envy, who had gotten her revenge on Rake by taking his son as a lover.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.825-826
==In Reaper's Gale==
Shortly after the death of Scabandari Bloodeye, Anomandaris Purake waited for Kilmandaros in front of the rent that opened to the dying Kurald Emurlahn. Kilmandaros, who had opted to defend the Elder Warren of Shadow as it broke into fragments in the midst of civil war, told Purake that he was not welcomed into the realm. She asked him why he did not avenge his recently betrayed brother, Silchas Ruin, now a prisoner of the Azath. He told her that the cost for the betrayal of Ruin proved too high for Scabandari, and concerning his brother, he almost envied his new-found isolation from all that would afflict his people in the millennia to come. Kilmandaros warned that Ruin would not be inclined to forgive him when he finally was eventually freed. Rake offered the suspicious Goddess his assistance in protecting Shadow since Edgewalker was committed elsewhere. When she asked if Osserc was even then seeking him out, Rake laughed at the idea of the "idiot" searching for him in the Malazan world. Finally they agreed that the Throne of Shadow must stay unoccupied and made a pact to drive all the pretenders and 'scavengers' from the realm before passing through the rent together.Reaper's Gale, Prologue, US HC p.23-24
In modern times, Bruthen Trana found Kilmandaros inhabiting an Azath House at the bottom of the ocean with her son, Knuckles. The Elder Goddess complained that Rake had betrayed her and trapped her inside an Azath House. But Knuckles reminded her she had betrayed Rake first, jumping him from behind. Kilmandaros countered that she had only attacked Rake in anticipation of his own imminent betrayal. She boasted that the Azath had not been able to hold her forever.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 20, US HC p.589
The Tiste Andii Onyx Wizards sent Clip to escort the group of Silchas Ruin, Fear Sengar, Seren Pedac, Udinaas, Kettle, and Wither back to Andara, their secret monastery in the Bluerose Mountains. The Andii of Andara worshipped Rake as the Black-Winged Lord. He had resided with them for a time after Ruin's imprisonment in the Azath and had spoken to them of his brother.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 6, US HC p.153-155 Clip claimed to be the Mortal Sword of Anomander RakeReaper's Gale, Chapter 8, US HC p.203 and used this title to escort Ruin's group through Kurald Galain to reach Scabandari's Finnest in the Refugium.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 16, US HC p.462-463Reaper's Gale, Chapter 19, US HC p.559-564 An expeditionary force guided by Orbyn Truthfinder and Factor Letur Anict later slew all the Andii of Andara while in search of Fear and Udinaas.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 16, US HC p.459 
Nimander Golit, Phaed, and the other descendants of Rake travelled to Second Maiden Fort with Adjunct Tavore. Among the Malazan vessels Nimander recognised the Silanda, which had once been used by their uncles, fathers, and mothers of Drift Avalii to search for Rake. They had not been able to find him and plead for his help before they met their fate.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 20, US HC p.602 After leaving Ruin's company, Clip appeared before Nimander claiming to be the Herald of High House Dark. He told Nimander to gather his kin so they could finally be brought before Rake. Nimander could not believe their exile was finally over and argued that Rake did not want them. Clip said it only mattered what Mother Dark wanted. When Nimander went to collect the others, Clip's thoughts revealed that most of what he had told him had been a lie. In fact, Clip vowed they would find Rake and show him there were consequences for a god who walked away and betrayed his people.Reaper's Gale, Epilogue, US HC p.824-825

The subject of the Son of Darkness came up in a conversation between Shalmanat, the Protectress of Li Heng, and Sister Night — who happened to be in Li Heng. Shalmanat was concerned that Anomander might make an appearance at Li Heng. Because of Wu's breach of Kurald Emurlahn, the Protectress was afraid that Rake and his Keep would come to destroy Li Heng. Sister Night reassured Shalmanat, telling her that since the hostilities occurred "a long time ago", and because the current guardian of Emurlahn was not Anomander but another individual, the Protectress need not fear that Rake would personally concern himself in any way with her presence at Li Heng.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 14, US HC p.266-267

== In Forge of Darkness==
Anomander Rake was part of House Purake at a time when his father Nimander (his son would be named after his father) had recently passed away. Mother Dark gave Anomander and his two brothers the title of Sons of Darkness with Anomander being named 'First Son of Darkness'.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 2, UK HC p.40-44Forge of Darkness, Chapter 3, UK HC p.78
In anticipation of his brother Andarist's wedding to Enesdia, Anomander commissioned a traditional Azathanai hearthstone for their new home. But unlike other such stones, he commissioned the work to be done by Azathanai High Mason, Caladan Brood. Upon the laying of the stone Brood asked Anomander to seal his loyalty to his brother with a blood pact, in return Anomander asked the mason to do the same. Begrudgingly, Brood did so connecting the two men for both their lives.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 2, UK HC p.47-50
Anomander was present when the Azathanai, T'riss, arrived in Kharkanas to speak with Mother Dark and sanctify the temple with Vitr. Mother Dark's expanded power transformed Anomander, turning his pale gold skin black and his hair silver.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 2Forge of Darkness, Chapter 9, UK HC p.271
Anomander also commissioned one of the legendary Hust swords from Hust Henarald. Uniquely, he requested that sword share its voice only with its bearer.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 6, UK HC p.151 Upon delivery, Mother Dark refused to bless the sword, which angered Anomander.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 15, UK HC p.457 When Andarist's betrothed was murdered shortly before their wedding Anomander was inspired by the crime to name his sword Vengeance. Andarist pleaded with him to instead name the sword Grief. Anomander's refusal created a rift between the brothers.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 15, UK HC p.481
== In Fall of Light ==
Before they had left Andarist's house, Endest Silann had witnessed an exchange between Caladan Brood and Anomander Rake, where Rake insisted that he would hold Brood to his promise of peace. Brood had asked whether Anomander would have the strength to bear all the burdens he would ultimately place on him, the first being the name Rake, the Azathanai word for Strength. Anomander had answered that he would.Fall of Light, Chapter 2 
The two headed north, to the burned forest where they came upon a group of Deniers led by Glyph who left it up to Yedan Narad to give or refuse them welcome. Feeling guilt at the mention of Rake's name, Narad was momentarily unable to do either, then welcomed Brood but not Rake, saying the time for their welcome had not yet come. He promised Anomander that when he and the Deniers would be needed, they would answer his call. Anomander argued that Kharkanas's civil war didn't belong to the Deniers, they had suffered enough already. Narad agreed, but said he was talking about another battle, a battle when the fires would take the sea, a battle upon the shoreline, and on that day, they would answer Anomander's call. Asked by Brood in whose name the Deniers would stand, Narad twice answered with Hers, causing Anomander and the by then outraged Deniers to believe it to mean Mother Dark. Brood grabbed hold of Anomander and dragged him away from the camp.
Narad told Glyph that they had misunderstood and that if Anomander too had misunderstood him, the Azathanai had not, making Glyph think that Brood had purposely deceived the Son of Darkness. He also explained that Anomander probably wouldn't have to call, since he feared they would already be there. He then asked Glyph whether he had a name for shoreline in his old language, to which the hunter nodded and answered Emurlahn.Fall of Light, Chapter 4
Brood and Rake came upon the seemingly unconscious figure of Wreneck and made him comfortable. As they conversed, Wreneck listened to their exchange, which led to Vatha Urusander and the civil war. Rake wondered whether his sole service to Mother Dark consisted of standing between two self serving sides since in his opinion both sides were hypocrites, and whether it was enough of a reason to raise his army against Urusander's. He also wondered whether dividing the Tiste into the Andii and the Liosan, and thereby weakening them, had been something T'riss the Azathanai had done intentionally. And if so, with what purpose. 
Brood told him to look at Draconus for an answer, since he had brought Dark to the Tiste. Anomander argued that T'riss had already done her damage before Draconus had brought the Terondai. Brood explained that the Gate, which he named Kurald Galain, was an iteration of control over a force in opposition to Chaos. When asked why Chaos and not Light, Caladan replied that Light was an absolution of Chaos. That in its purity it found order, with substance and hue, a reflection of how Chaos sought its own obliteration. He explained that by gifting Mother Dark with Elemental Dark, Draconus had imposed an impossible imbalance in the world, which in turn had made it impossible for T'riss to do anything but what she had done. He asked Anomander whether anyone could blame Draconus for something he did out of love. Anomander answered this by stating that Draconus was his friend, and that he would seek to withhold judgment, even if he felt disappointed by his absence.
When Wreneck finally awakened fully, he revealed to them his story and that he was seeking vengeance upon the Legion soldiers who had burned down House Drukorlat, and had hurt Jinia. That afterward, he would go back, find Jinia and marry her. And even though she could not have children it did not matter to him, since he would protect her forever. Upon hearing this, and about the boy's past experiences, Anomander told Caladan that he had finally found a worthy reason; a future of love.Fall of Light, Chapter 9
As they journeyed toward Dracons Keep, Caladan insisted that Anomander had strayed too far from his path to find his brother, in effect counseling him to return to Kharkanas to take up his duties. Anomander feeling bitter countered by asking whether Mother Dark had taken up her responsibilities. He noted that he felt blinded by Mother Dark's indecision, to which Caladan countered that the blindness he spoke of was his own doing. He then asked Anomander what he would have Mother Dark do, to which the First Son asked whether that was not self evident. He further made it plain that he disliked the very notion of rule, since power does not confer wisdom or rightful authority. But if Mother Dark wanted them to worship her as their goddess, then she needed to rule.Fall of Light, Chapter 9
When they arrived at Dracons Keep, they were met by Ivis, Captain of Lord Draconus's Houseblades. In a private conversation with the captain, Anomander revealed his doubts regarding the name he gave his sword, which had ultimately led to the estrangement between him and his brother. Ivis, seeking to comfort him, told him that even so he had struck out to find his brother, and to make it right between them. Still skeptical, Anomander asked even if he found his brother what word would be shared between them? At last Anomander decided to abandon his query and to return to Kharkanas.Fall of Light, Chapter 16
Ivis then asked Anomander to have Caladan look into the matter of the daughters of Draconus. Caladan warned Anomander that if he unleashed his power, not many would survive the night. What followed was a sorcerous conflagration that blew up half of Dracons Keep and set fire to the rest, leaving Anomander helpless and frustrated at his inability to match any of it himself.Fall of Light, Chapter 16 Anomander then let Lord Draconus's Houseblades accompany him to Kharkanas.
On the journey to Kharkanas, Gripp Galas finally caught up with them. Speaking privately with Anomander, he reported on the events in Kharkanas and the choices of his brother Silchas Ruin -- to which Anomander said he was well aware -- and of the whereabouts of Andarist.
Gripp informed Anomander that he was needed unless he would see Urusander occupy Kharkanas uncontested. Anomander told him that it was Mother Dark's wish that he not unsheathe his sword. Yet if he did not, his friend, and Mother Dark's Consort, would be deposed, or even outlawed.Fall of Light, Chapter 20

==Rake and the Seguleh==
Centuries before the creation of the Malazan Empire, Anomander visited the home island of the Seguleh. Ignorant of their customs, he took human form, donned a mask, and walked down the centre of their city's main thoroughfare. Rake's arrogant nature was perceived as a challenge by the non-verbal Seguleh, sparking duels with more than a score of the inhabitants who soon joined the other prisoners of Dragnipur. By the time Anomander's incomprehension and frustration led him to leave the island, he had already advanced to the position of Seguleh Seventh. Rake's visit was well remembered and his well-earned mask awaited his return.

==History==
Anomander Purake, later named Anomander Rake by Caladan Brood, was given the title of the First Son of Darkness by Mother Dark, queen of Kharkanas and goddess of the Tiste Andii. He was a Soletaken — able to assume the form of a huge black dragon, larger even than Silanah (a true Eleint) — and a very powerful Ascendant, occupying the place of the Knight of High House Dark in the Deck of Dragons. He was also the wielder of (the sword) Vengeance/Grief, and of the dangerous and powerful Dragnipur, which was forged by his friend Draconus — on whom he ultimately turned his own creationMemories of Ice, Chapter 1, thereby fulfilling Kallor's curse.
He was widely recognised — by many Ascendants, gods and Elder Gods — as one of the most powerful, unpredictable and ruthless figures in the World, especially since he was the wielder of the sword that enslaved souls.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 19Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 8, US MMPB p.300Memories of Ice, Chapter 3Memories of Ice, Chapter 4Memories of Ice, Chapter 5
In his early years — during the events of the Kharkanas Trilogy — he seemed somewhat arrogant and rash, but in his later years — during the events of the Book of the Fallen — he was portrayed as more compassionate and wise.Memories of Ice, Chapter 5Memories of Ice, Chapter 8 Rake was a man of solitude, possessing a spirit of almost pathological independence. He could be indifferent to others' need for regular reassurance or comfirmation, trusting that his word, once given, was bond enough. What Rake said he would do, he did.Memories of Ice, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.851 His thought processes were often a mystery to his own people, perhaps because of his draconic blood, but still they trusted and loved him without question.Memories of Ice, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.625
He was the son of Nimander Purake — who in his younger years was granted, by K'rul, the Azathanai honorific Purake, which came from "Pur Rakess Calas ne A’nom", roughly translated to "Strength in Standing Still" — and had two brothers, Silchas Ruin and Andarist, both given the titles the Second Son of Darkness and the Third Son of Darkness, respectively. T'riss was a one-time companion,Blood and Bone, Chapter 5, UK MMPB, p.300 as were Lady Envy and Caladan Brood.Memories of Ice, Chapter 1, UM MMPB, p.71Memories of Ice, Chapter 5
To ensure the return of Mother Dark and the Gate of Darkness, and the re-awaking of hope and purpose for his people, he sacrificed himself, first by causing his own death by Traveller's hand, and then by dispersing his own soul, with the help of the power of a newly born god, in the Gate so that it could finally be freed from the realm of Dragnipur and manifest in Black Coral.
The glyphs forming the word Grief were inscribed by Caladan Brood on his tomb, outside the city of Darujhistan; a city he defended in Gardens of the Moon.

*In his first attempt at writing Gardens of the Moon, Erikson presented the story from Anomander Rake's point of view. After writing three pages, he abandoned the draft as he came to the conclusion that his twenty-something self could not authentically convey the thoughts of a character who was several hundred thousand years old. He later found that avoiding Rake's POV gave the character a sense of presence and power that would have been difficult to duplicate with his own POV.https://steven-erikson.org/anomander-rake-and-point-of-view/
*Anomander Rake was the first character Erikson ever rolled up and played in the role-playing games that served as the foundations of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Erikson played the character through game after game and "lived and breathed the guy".
*Erikson thinks Keanu Reeves would make an apt movie casting for Anomander Rake --"Oddly enough, I always thought of him for Anomander Rake..."Steven Erikson Facebook post 14 June 2019
*Erikson never expected Rake to be a favourite of readers since "his appearance in Gardens of the Moon is pretty minimal." But the author says he paid attention to readers' reactions and "Rake becomes much more important later on in the series." If readers had not latched on to Rake or had hated the character, Erikson "probably would have steered [later books] in a different direction as a series."Books with Brittany - see 19:50 One of the things that Erikson believes draws readers to Rake is that he is powerful and frightening and readers "don't know enough about him."Books with Brittany - see 27:45
*Rake was not inspired by Michael Moorcock's character, Elric. Erikson is frustrated by people who point out similarities as he says he has never read any of the Elric books.Steven Erikson Talks Building Malazan, Facebook Post, & More - see 23:05 Co-author Ian C. Esslemont says Dragnipur was his own homage in the pair's role-playing games to Elric's sword, Stormbringer.Chat with Ian C Esslemont about Malazan - A Critical Dragon - See 7:00
*Erikson "really liked the naming constructions of Sanskrit" and used them as the underlying basis for several Tiste names, including Anomander.A Conversation with Steven Erikson - Malazan Mid-Series Reflection - Green Team of the Legendarium - See 39:30
