Trantalo Kendar

Trantalo Kendar was a Tiste Edur warrior garrisoned in the town of Rennis on the western coast of the Letherii Empire. He was a member of the Beneda clan and was the youngest of four brothers. His eldest brother was Preda Estav Kendar. Trantalo did not consider himself to be particularly bright, but unlike most Tiste Edur, he liked horses and was an unusually fine rider.
His first exposure to war and the devastation found on battlefields came at the time of the Edur conquest when he was an 'unblooded' fifteen year old, assisting an aunt who worked as a healer in the Tiste Edur army under the command of Hannan Mosag. Because of this early exposure to the physical destructiveness of fighting, especially when Letherii or Tiste Edur sorcery had been widely used on combatants, Trantalo experienced the loss of a measure of the usual eagerness of a young warrior for battle. Still, he appreciated the privileged status that the Tiste Edur enjoyed in Lether because of their position there as conquerors.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 14, US TPB p.399-400

Estav Kendar led a troop of twelve Edur riders to Boaral Keep after the Rennis garrison headquarters received Yan Tovis' report of a disturbance there requiring Edur adjudication. The Tiste Edur complement included ten veteran Tiste Edur warriors as well as the young Trantalo riding point. Arriving at the seemingly deserted Keep at sunset, Trantalo and the rest of the group unexpectedly encountered Hellian and Urb's two squads of Bonehunters, who made short work of the Tiste Edur warriors. Estav was the first to die after Lutes fired a Crossbow bolt into his chest. After Trantalo was stabbed in the throat, he perished while trying to reach his brother's body and was the last of the Edur to die.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 14, US TPB p.400-402
