Hemtl

Hemtl was Second of the Chase, a Jhek war band. He was young and impetuous and still unsure of his standing within the group.
He had a mane of long kinked hair and wore a furred hood and ivory eye-shield. His spear was tipped with a flint head.Stonewielder, Chapter 3, US HC p.137/140

Hemtl and the Chase pursued Blues, Fingers, Lazar, and Shell across the crevasses of the Great Northern Agal. The Crimson Guardsmen had unknowingly trespassed on Jhek land and hunted Jhek caribou. Unable to bring the Guard to battle, Tal the Chase First took Ruk the Chase Third with her to parley with the intruders. Hemtl remained behind with the rest of the Chase.
As Tal and Ruk discussed potential redress, Hemtl sent the war band to surround the Guard on his own initiative. A furious Tal confronted her Second who accused her of collaborating with the enemy and whoring her honour for gold before running her through with his spear. A vengeful Ruk slew Hemtl in return. 
Ruk was able to peacefully conclude negotiations with the Guard, and Shell used her healing magic to bring Tal back from the edge of death. Although Ruk had killed one of their own, Tal thought the Guth-Ull, the Jhek council of chiefs, would judge him leniently.Stonewielder, Chapter 3, UK TPB p.137-141
