Urfa

Urfa was a sergeant and then later a lieutenant in the Malaz 4th Army, in command of the sappers of 4th Company.
She was described as "skinny, to the point of malnourished", had bulging eyes that appeared to look in both directions at once, and had a mouthful of uneven, yellowed teeth.Stonewielder, Chapter 2 Sergeant Jumpy thought her "a swarthy, skinny woman who had the look of a constipated stork."Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 1, US HC p.546

While still a sergeant, Urfa fought the rebel Talian League at the Battle of the Plains during the Malazan civil war. After the Talians were defeated, the Malazans were confronted by the Crimson Guard. Master Sergeant Braven Tooth assigned Urfa and the other sapper squad leaders the task of hunting Avowed.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 1, US HC p.547
Luckily for the Malazan leadership, Urfa was present for a briefing when a female white haired Veil appeared among them slaying guards and staffers. Urfa cast a munition that stunned the assassin long enough for a full Hand of the Claw to react. The munition severely injured Commander Ullen Khadeve's arm, but spared him death at the Veil's hands.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 2, US HC p.590

Urfa had been promoted to lieutenant by the time she accompanied the Malazan Expeditionary Force to the Lands of Fist to bring the renegade Malazan 6th Army to heel.Stonewielder, Chapter 2, US HC p.87 After fighting their way across Skolati, Urfa was among those chosen to take a key bridge over the Ancy River below the fortress at Three Sisters. The squads made their way into the bridge's understructure during the night before discovering it had been booby trapped with Moranth munitions. Urfa worked her way through the bridge's timbers to help coordinate the saboteurs' disarmament efforts, but before they could disable the explosives they were spotted by enemy troops and forced to fight. Once on the bridge, Urfa begrudgingly followed Adjunct Kyle's order to dig an arrowhead out of the leg of the Heavy, Suth. Then she returned to fight against the priests of the Lady. By day's end the bridge was in Malazan hands.Stonewielder, Chapter 6, US HC p.317-330
