==In Midnight Tides==
As the war between the Kingdom of Lether and the Tiste Edur approached Letheras, Preda Unnutal Hebaz led the King's Battalion and Merchants' Battalion out of the city to Brans Keep. The remaining Letherii armies had gathered there to defend the capital.
The bulk of the battalion was placed at the foot of Brans Keep's walls for the Battle of Brans Keep with the Preda among them. Elements of the King's Heavy infantry was placed on the centre left next to the Snakebelt Battalion. To the right of the King's Battalion was the Merchants' Battalion. Directly across the field was the army of Fear Sengar.Midnight Tides, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.671 The battle commenced with devastating sorcery on both sides. Warlock King Hannan Mosag's enormous columns of shrieking wind and dust ran rampant through the Letherii left and centre destroying virtually the entire battalion and killing Preda Unnutal Hebaz. The Letherii units on the right flank broke when they saw the fate of their comrades.Midnight Tides, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.674-676
