Gr'istanas Ish'Ilm

Gr'istanas Ish'Ilm, sometimes spelled Gr'istanas Ish'ilm, was a T'lan Imass Bonecaster of the Bentract.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 20, US TPB p.601 His Soletaken form was a large bear with long legs, a vestigial tail, black and brown hair, and a flattened snout.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 23, US TPB p.731 
He wore rotted clothes.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 20, US HC p.601
==In Reaper's Gale==
Gr'istanas Ish'Ilm, clan chief Hostille Rator, and the Bonecaster Til'Aras Benok, were on the way to the Second Gathering called by Silverfox when they heard the pleas for help from a failing Bentract Bonecaster. Unable to ignore the pain in her voice, they followed her call to the Refugium even if it meant losing their chance at their own final rest.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 21, US TPB p.659
They were amazed and appalled to discover a world of living Bentract Imass. When they crossed its boundaries, they too were restored to life and the experience left them shaken. The Imass chief, Ulshun Pral, was unknown to them and they contemplated usurpation of the tribe, but the presence of Rud Elalle, the Soletaken Eleint, terrified them.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 20, US HC p.601 Still, they understood the Refugium was only a trapped and dying memory that could not last. But when Onrack T'emlava and Trull Sengar swore they would spend their lives to defend it, Hostille Rator and the Bonecasters were humbled and declared they would defend the Refugium as well.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 21, US HC p.659-661
Anticipating violence from those coming to the Refugium seeking Scabandari's Finnest, Rud fled with the Bentract into the hills, and Hostille Rator and the two Bonecasters joined them. They could hear the clash of Quick Ben and Hedge against Menandore, Sukul Ankhadu, and Sheltatha Lore, and the clan chief sensed the surviving Soletaken Eleint now hunted for Rud. He bade the young man take his people to safety in a ravine while he and the Bonecasters defended the narrow defile where she would have to assume her normal form. The clan chief and his companions had initially come to the Refugium with chaos in their hearts, but now they found that Rud, Ulshun Pral, and the Refugium's Imass "please us".Reaper's Gale, Chapter 23, US HC p.730
Sukul Ankhadu found Hostille Rator guarding the narrow passage and crushed his throat before he could harm her. He died as a mortal man with a smile on his lips. Til'Aras Benok and Gr'istanas Ish'ilm veered into their bear forms and began tearing her apart. The goddess exploded Gr'istanas Ish'ilm's head with her magic before Til'Aras Benik finally killed her. But he too quickly succumbed to his wounds.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 23, US HC p.730-732
