Seven or so Gandaru males were amongst the slaves captured by the Skathandi to pull the great wagon of The Captain. The Captain believed these men and a couple of pregnant Gandaru females in the wagon's train were the last of their race in existence.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 8, UK HB p.256
When Karsa put an end to the Captain and freed the slaves, the two women and three of the men attempted to follow the Teblor, but presumably moved slower due to the advanced stage of women's pregnancy. Samar Dev and Traveller came across the group while they too sought Karsa. Traveller quizzed the men on what they had seen while Samar Dev offered the women aid. The witch was moved by pity, presuming the women had been raped and wondering how their people could resist the human tide. Traveller was not as sure that their fate was settled.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 10, UK HB p.353-355
