Shavankrats

The Shavankrats were identical triplet brothersMidnight Tides, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.522 under the command of Brys Beddict, King's Champion and a Finadd in the Letheras Palace Guards.Midnight Tides, Chapter 14, US TPB p.362 They were considered to be extremely vigilant.Midnight Tides, Chapter 20, US TPB p.496
==In Midnight Tides==
After the dangerous and unpredictable Finadd Gerun Eberict began nosing around the affairs of Tehol Beddict, Brys became worried for his brother's safety. He convinced Tehol to accept the protection of the three Shavankrats as bodyguards.Midnight Tides, Chapter 14, US TPB p.361-362
When the Shavankrats arrived at Tehol's home, Tehol was unable to tell them apart or to get them to tell him their names or, in general, get them to be social in any way at all. Instead, they single-mindedly undertook their bodyguard duties with an unchanging straight-lipped and slit-eyed cast to their features.Midnight Tides, Chapter 17, US TPB p.419 One of the triplets accompanied Tehol whenever he had occasion to go out into the city.Midnight Tides, Chapter 17, US TPB p.434-435 Whenever the habitually silent bodyguards needed to communicate with Tehol, they used gestures instead of words.Midnight Tides, Chapter 20, US TPB p.489-490
Unfortunately, Gerun Eberict and his palace guard thugs decided to go after Tehol's blood while Brys and the rest of the city were occupied with the invasion of Emperor Rhulad Sengar's Tiste Edur. The combination of wandering packs of foreign troops and the targeted efforts of a band of assassins proved to be the downfall of the Shavankrats. First, one of the triplets was killed by a pack of Edur (although he took six of the Edur down with him before being overwhelmed by sheer numbers). Then a second triplet, while distracted by Gerun's thugs, was slain by a knife thrown by Crillo, one of the Finadd's 'ablest killers'.Midnight Tides, Chapter 25, US TPB p.575 
Somehow sensing his brothers were dead, the third triplet broke the Shavankrats' usual silence to tell Tehol Gerun was coming and that the situation had become extremely dire. While trying to lead Tehol to safety on the street, they crossed paths with a dying Mayen. As Tehol attempted to aid her a band of Edur pursuers led by Theradas Buhn appeared. The last Shavankrat lunged in front of Tehol, taking an Edur spear deep into his own chest.Midnight Tides, Chapter 25, US TPB p.577-578/600
