Ranath

Ranath was a member of the Claw and the Malazan Empire's former intelligence chief for the Cawn region.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 5, US HC p.421/425
==In Return of the Crimson Guard==
During the Malazan civil war, Ranath arrived in Cawn after the city was sacked by the Crimson Guard and just ahead of Empress Laseen's fleet. He approached Nevall Od' Orr, the city's Chief Factor, and ordered the coin vaults of every trading house be seized as pledge of loyalty to the Throne. Additionally, the writs of the Ruling Convene of the entire province were to be called in immediately with troop commitments being expected to meet that debt.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 5, US HC p.421
Clawmaster Possum approved Ranath's plan, which effectively doubled the size of the Empress' army, but was not entirely certain where Ranath's loyalties lay.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 5, US HC p.425
