==In Return of the Crimson Guard==
During the Malazan civil war, Durmis accompanied Commander Pirim 'J Shall and Custodian Kapalet to Li Heng along with twenty-nine thousand troops. Their mission was to use the war to extract demands from the Malazan government, possibly including possession of Li Heng itself which was built on land once claimed by the Itko Kan Confederacy.
At their meeting with Acting-Fist Hurl of Li Heng, Durmis was especially angry that the man-jackal Ryllandaras had been released during the fighting. He called upon the ancient curse that said those responsible for his return would die in his jaws.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 5, US HC p.478-479
After Malazan Empress Laseen arrived with the Malaz 4th Army and broke the League at the Battle of the Plains, Kanese ambitions were crushed. They threw in with the Empire to fight the newly arrived Crimson Guard. But six of the Guard Avowed blocked the Pilgrim Bridge over the Idryn river, standing between the Kanese and the Empress. The Kanese were unable to overcome the Guard. But when Durmis became aware of a massive release of magical energies on the main battlefield that was unfriendly to both sides, Commander Pirim was able to work put a truce between them.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 3, US HC p.629-630
