Harllo (younger)

Harllo was the five-year-old biological son of Stonny Menackis. Though named after her deceased friend Harllo, she could not bear to care for him because he was the result of a rape at the hands of a Seerdomin during the Siege of Capustan. Rather than abandon him completely, Stonny left him in the care of the couple he grew to know as Uncle Bedek and Aunt Myrla in Darujhistan. The household also included Harllo's "cousins"--Snell, three-year-old Mew, and the infant Hinty.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 5, US SFBC p.151-153
Harllo knew Stonny was his mother, although she was always referred to within the family as another aunt. He also had a vague sense of who his father was, originally thinking the man's name was "Rape" before concluding the word meant something meaner than "an elbow in the ribs". During Stonny's infrequent visits, she would not meet his eyes and talked little. Uncle Gruntle, on the other hand, was a regular visitor and Harllo thought him the bravest, wisest man in all of Darujhistan. 
Harllo supplemented the family's meagre income by stealing food from the market, foraging on the western shores of Lake Azur, or collecting goat dung in the hills. His aunt and uncle's affectionate approval earned him the ire of Snell, who frequently bullied and pummeled his cousin.
Harllo was tall and scrawny--what Gruntle laughingly referred to as "stretched"--and his hair was long and tousled.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.238-239

While in the hills outside Maiten collecting dung for his family's hearth, Harllo was attacked and left for dead by Snell.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US TPB p.211 A poor and elderly sheep herder found the boy and brought him back to health with the help of his wife. They subsequently sold the boy into slave labour at a local mine run by Eldra Iron Mongers.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US TPB p.229 Two days after his disappearance, Myrla went looking for Gruntle's help at Stonny's duelling academy, but Gruntle had already left the city on his next caravan. Stonny was distraught and her new employee, Murillio, sprung into action to assist the search.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.356-357
At the mine, Harllo was employed as a mole, squeezing into spaces too small for the adult miners. The work was dangerous and few children lasted long, but he enjoyed the freedom of exploration.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.369/370/371 He befriended Bainisk, the overseer of the moles at the Chuffs workcamp, but was bullied by the local tough, Venaz.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.370 Venaz had once been Bainisk's friend and favoured mole before he grew too big for the tasks the job entailed.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.386Toll the Hounds, Chapter 15, US SFBC p.584Toll the Hounds, Chapter 13, US SFBC p.549 In the evenings, Bainisk would sit on the floor next to Harllo's bed and listen to the boy's tales of the dazzling city of Darujhistan as Venaz fumed and made plans for revenge. Venaz hated Bainisk for what he saw as his betrayal and was determined to see the overseer's new favourite pay the price.
On one descent into the earth, Harllo discovered what he took to be the corpse of a former miner. But the corpse spoke, revealing itself to be Dev'ad Anan Tol, an Imass who had been cast into the earth by the Jaghut Tyrant, Raest, and left to die with shattered legs. When the Ritual of Tellann occurred shortly afterwards, he was transformed into an immortal T'lan Imass. The T'lan Imass gave Harllo his mining tools and Harllo promised to keep away the miners by telling them the area was polluted with foul air. Dev'ad Anan Tol gave him permission to return to keep him company.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.370-373 Eventually, the boy returned to the Imass with two ancient Emlava femur bones pilfered from the many fossils dug out of the mine, along with rope and string to make splints.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 11, US SFBC p.421-424 Dev'ad was able to fashion new legs out of the old bones and escape from his tomb.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 13, US SFBC p.550-552
Murillio finally found Harllo at the mine after interrogating Snell. But the mine's owner, Gorlas Vidikas, had a score to settle with the older man and slew him in a duel. When Gorlas ordered Harllo brought before him to further his revenge against Murillio's friends, Venaz saw a chance to eliminate his younger enemy. Bainisk also heard Gorlas' command, but found Harllo first. When told a man had died trying to free him, Harllo concluded Gruntle was dead. Bainisk convinced Harllo to escape with him to Darujhistan before Venaz and his gang of thugs could find them. Together they travelled deep into the mine, hoping to reach the exit along Lake Azur. Bainisk guided Harllo through a submerged tunnel and other hazards before their progress was interrupted by a wide chasm. He sent Harllo down a rope, then followed, intending to reach the chasm's bottom before climbing the other side. But when a gloating and vengeful Venaz appeared above and began pulling up the rope, Bainisk cut it. Harllo survived the fall, but Bainisk's body was broken upon the sharp rocks. The dying boy asked Harllo to tell him of Darujhistan and Harllo complied, describing a city without hunger or hurt and where every child had a loving family.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.771-777/796-798
Venaz pursued Harllo into the chasm and then through a crack leading to the outside. When he finally caught Harllo, he tried to strangle him until Murillio's protege, Bellam Nom, found them and put a stop to it. In the brawl that followed, Venaz got the upper hand on Bellam until Harllo struck his tormenter down with a rock to the head.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 21, US TPB p.706-707 
Finally, Harllo was returned to his mother, who had earlier been shocked out of her grief and despair by Bellam Nom's blunt and honest words. They were joined by Mew and Hinty after Bedek and Myrla were killed by the crush of a mob while seeking assistance for finding Harllo with the Temple of the Crippled God.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.788-790Toll the Hounds, Chapter 24, US TPB p.823Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.708-709
