Dim (Malazan heavy infantry)

Dim was a heavy infantry recruit in the 17th Squad, 4th Company, 2nd Division of the Malazan 4th Army. He was a large ox-like fellow from Bloor with tangled, dirty-blond hair and a thick brow. He was aptly named.Stonewielder, Chapter 3, US HC p.171/175Stonewielder, Chapter 2, US HC p.86
Dim came from a poor background. He was used to sleeping rough on the floor and thought the battered armour supplied to him by the army was worthy of a king.Stonewielder, Chapter 2, US HC p.86/89

Dim accompanied the Malazan Expeditionary Force to the Lands of Fist to bring the renegade Malazan 6th Army to heel. While on the transport ship Lasana, Dim was among five squadmates chosen to mock battle an equal number of Blue Moranth for a place on a Moranth ship. Dim, Lard, Suth, Yana, and Wess were defeated, but performed well enough to earn their squad a place.Stonewielder, Chapter 4, US HC p.202-206
During the marine assault on the fortifications of Aamil, Dim fought his way up the Moranth siege tower and into the city along with the rest of his squad. He soon joined Adjunct Kyle in an attack on a temple of the Lady. Only the Adjunct's mystic blade saved the squad from a horrible death at the hands of the goddess' priests.Stonewielder, Chapter 4, US HC p.250-261 
Dim later fought to secure a key bridge over the Ancy River below the Roolian fortress at Three Sisters. The bridge was successfully taken, but Dim perished in the attempt.Stonewielder, Chapter 8, US HC p.406
