Sathand Gril was a warrior of clan Senan of the White Face Barghast.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 15, UK HB p.506
==In Dust of Dreams==
When Onos Toolan left the Barghast camp with a war party, Sathand was amongst those who stayed behind. He had been spying on the children of Hetan and Onos Toolan for weeks and after news came that the Warleader had been killed, Sathand set out to hunt down and slay the children - Stavi, Storii, and Absi - who had fled into the hills northeast of the camp. Sathand had already killed the boy's dog. He deemed killing the children necessary to expunge Hetan's shame and eradicate the outsider Toolan's line. Gril's thoughts indicated intentions of rape and torture for the girls. Even though he told himself that he was not actually one who raped he nevertheless revelled in his bloody fantasies of what he would do to the children.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 15, UK HB p.506/507 
During the pursuit, Stavi dropped a stone on Gril which injured his shoulder and collarbone and broke an arm. He was furious and even more set on hurting and killing the children. Sathand caught up with Stavi and told her that they were orphans. At that moment, a rock thrown by Storii caught him on the forehead above his left eye. Absi suddenly smiled and held up his arms to the warrior, which reminded Sathand of the times he had taken up the boy, thrown him in the air and tickled him but the recollection did not sway him from his murderous intent. Just as Absi cried out as if in joy, Sathand felt something slamming into his back which made him stagger and drop his knife. As he turned round to see whom Absi was smiling at, another arrow hit him dead centre in the forehead, going through the bone straight into his brain, killing him instantly. His killer turned out to be the undead Toc the Younger.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 15, UK HB p.510-515
==Trivia==
'Sathand Gril' has been spelled 'Sathand Grit' in some editions. Indications are that the alternative spelling of 'Grit' occurs mainly in the DP of electronic device and paperback editions as well as in the DP in some hardback editions. There are currently no known examples of 'Grit' within the body of the text. responses from Reddit and Malazan Empire Forum readers who checked their copies of DoD for spelling
==Speculations==
It is possible that Sathand had connections to the clan Barahn White Face Barghast leader, Maral Eb, who had instructed allies amongst the Senan to steal the twin girls whom he wanted to marry. Gril's own plans of killing the twins, however, would seem to indicate that he was not a follower of Maral Eb.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 12, UK HB p.387
