During the Genabackis Campaign, a company of the Guard led by Jorrick Sharplance was in One Eye Cat when the Malazan Empire lay siege to the city. Humble Measure's father conspired with the Malazans to open the city gate in the night, but was caught and executed. The city garrison invaded their estate, raping and killing Humble Measure's mother and half-sisters. Humble Measure and the rest of his household would have been executed but for Jorrick's intervention. The paranoid city leaders expelled the Guard, who brought Humble Measure and the surviving members of his household across Old King Lake to the foot of the One Eye Range. The Guard then gave them enough supplies to cross the range to the Old King Plateau. After the Guard left One Eye Cat, another conspiracy brought Claw assassins into the city for a bloody night of slaughter that led to the city's fall.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 3, US SFBC p.97-98
