Amatt

Amatt [Ah-matt] was an Avowed member of the Second Company of the Crimson Guard.Return of the Crimson Guard, Dramatis Personae, UK PBReturn of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 2, UK PB p.315 
==In Return of the Crimson Guard==
Amatt participated in the Guard's invasion of Unta, the Malazan imperial capital. The former Claw Kiska reported to Tayschrenn that she had seen Amatt break through a barricade of burning wagons and timbers simply by walking into it and pushing it aside. She then saw him walk back to his ship pulling out seven crossbow bolts as they struck him.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 2, UK PB p.315
At the subsequent Battle of the Plains, Amatt was in a squad of Avowed commanded by Lean that defended the Pilgrim Bridge over the Idryn river. He, Lean, Black, Cole, and Turgal resisted numerous attacks (preventing twenty-nine thousand Kanese soldiers from reinforcing the Malazans). They fought with four of them fighting whilst the fifth would rest behind them. K'azz D'Avore eventually arrived with Kyle and the Lost brothers to relieve them. Amatt was coughing up blood and bore horrific wounds and whilst some of the others returned to the fighting, for Amatt, it was over as the loss of blood made him unable to stand any longer.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 2, UK PB p.60Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 3, UK PB p.626
After their detail was stood down, Amatt lifted Turgal. This was likely a continuity mistake as he was meant to be in the same condition as Black who was scooped up by Cole at the same time. The party then left via the portal to the Imperial Warren.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 3, UK PB p.641/642
