== In Return of the Crimson Guard==
Shepherd accompanied the Marchland Sentries when they fought for the Talian League during the Malazan civil war. He was the first of the Sentries to make contact with the disguised Ghelel Rhik Tayliin and her bodyguard Molk as the pair made their way south of Li Heng.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 1, US HC p.256 Initially sent to pillage, burn, and harry Malazan possessions south of Li Heng, the Sentries became the defacto bodyguards for the League's noble figurehead Ghelel Rhik Tayliin.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 1, US HC p.257-258
After the Talian League was defeated by the Malazans at the Battle of the Plains, Sentries commander Jhardin decided to hold Ghelel prisoner. He planned to return with her to his Talian estates and marry her despite already having a wife. This way, the Tayliin line would be preserved and their children might perhaps press their claim again. Ghelel's bodyguard Molk helped her flee the camp, and reported the Marchland Sentries' position to Commander Pirim 'J Shall's Malazan-allied Kanese troops.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2, Chapter 6, US HC p.531-536
