Rynag

Rynag was a captain in the Untan Imperial Guard. His normal posting was in the capital's Palace Guard.The Bonehunters, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.865-868 
== In The Bonehunters ==
Rynag was among the soldiers who accompanied Empress Laseen to Malaz City so she could meet with Adjunct Tavore Paran and her returning Malaz 14th Army. The Empress sent Rynag and his soldiers to the waterfront to greet Tavore as the Froth Wolf moored along the docks. In order to reach the Adjunct's flagship, they had to push their way through an angry crowd of citizens as well as Fist Tene Baralta's protective cordon of Red Blades.
Rynag carried orders requesting the Adjunct's presence before the Empress in Mock's Hold and temporarily placing himself in command of the 14th Army. He ordered Fist Keneb to signal Admiral Nok to depart with the escort fleet to Unta. The fleet of Perish Grey Helms were to withdraw to the headland north of Mock's Hold. The soldiers aboard the Malazan transports were to be disarmed and immediately begin disembarkation. High Mage Adaephon Delat was to remain on board the Adjunct's flagship.
Tavore appropriated Rynag's guard as her own escort to the keep leaving him alone with Keneb. Tavore had previously left Keneb with strict orders to prevent her soldiers from leaving their ships. She rightly suspected that any Wickans or Khundryl Burned Tears reaching land would be slaughtered by the angry Malazan mob.The Bonehunters, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.843-844 Keneb fooled Rynag into believing that the rest of the fleet had been infected by the plague from Seven Cities, thus not allowing disembarkation of troops. 
Later, when an angry mob attacked the 14th Army soldiers defending the pier, an enraged Keneb informed Rynag there were out of uniform soldiers egging on the crowd. Rynag claimed ignorance, but revealed the mob was intent on killing Wickans. Keneb ordered him off the ship threatening to crucify him. As Rynag was disembarking and making to join the Malazan mob fighting the Marines, he was shot by a crossbow bolt in the back and killed by Koryk. Keneb was shocked by the murder, but did nothing about it.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.891-893
