Krithasanan

Krithasanan had been a Holy Falah'd of Ugarat, Seven Cities, sometime in the period before Ugarat had first been conquered by the Malazan Empire.The Bonehunters, Chapter 5, US HC p.155
==In The Bonehunters==
One of Falah'd Krithasanan's favourite official torturers had been the now elderly Avower, who was also now long retired. As the Avower talked about his views on torture with the noncommittal Samar Dev (as she was performing an autopsy on a recently slain K'Chain Nah'ruk), he mentioned Falah'd Krithasanan - who the Avower felt had really been "something". Krithasanan evidently was memorable to the Avower because of the fact that the Falah'd especially "liked torturing people". Not, the Avower was quick to add, because Krithasanan was interested in "truths" (which the Falah'd recognized as being the "facile rubbish" that both he and the Avower felt them to be), but rather because of the "greater questions" - such questions being, for example, how long could a person's soul be kept trapped in an increasingly brutalized body, until the damage and trauma became so great that the tortured soul could (or would) no longer crawl back from the edge of death and would instead actually die. Falah'd Krithasanan liked to work with the Avower - who, feeling that getting 'answers' to these types of questions was a worthwhile challenge - displayed such a degree of skill in delaying death while the torturing became more and more intense and prolonged, that Krithasanan was particularly appreciative of the Avower's "artistry" in his torturing.The Bonehunters, Chapter 5, US HC p.153-155
