==In House of Chains==
Able was part of Adjunct Tavore Paran's punitive expedition against the Army of the Apocalypse. During a re-structuring of the 9th Company, Able's squad was amongst those who were attached to the marines of the 9th Company. Observing the new arrivals, the marines' sergeant, Strings, ranked Able amongst those who he felt had some respectable experience.House of Chains, Chapter 22, UK MMPB p.845/846 On the road from Aren to Raraku, he, Thom Tissy, Ramp, and Tulip had done their share of the fighting, and their names were well known amongst the other soldiers in the legion.House of Chains, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.711
==In The Bonehunters==
After the Battle of Raraku, Leoman led the Army of the Apocalypse westward to Y'Ghatan and the 14th Army followed. Adjunct Tavore Paran launched the Last Siege of Y'Ghatan by sending the army's sappers to breach the city's wall under the cover of night. The sappers were organised into groups with each group protected by a mage. Able took on the role of sapper for the first time ever that night, and his group included Bowl, Gupp, Jump, and Taffo with Balgrid as their mage.The Bonehunters, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.283/298 Once the walls were breached Able quickly returned to Thom Tissy's squad of medium infantry. 
First into the city were the Malazan marines, followed quickly by the heavy and medium infantry.The Bonehunters, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.291-292 Barely a street in and fearing an ambush, Sergeant Gesler ordered some of the freshly-made sappers from Tissy's squad, Able amongst them, to clear some of the buildings ahead. Able, Jump, and Gupp, instead of throwing their sharpers, went inside a building to set them off. Gesler heard the sharpers then thought he saw the flames of a Burner. One of the three soldiers stumbled out, wreathed in flames and was shot by Gesler but too late to save those of Moak's squad running to help the man. They were all killed when his munitions pouch exploded. The building was engulfed in flames and the other two presumably perished in the flames inside. It is unknown if Able was the soldier who had stumbled outside or one of the two who perished inside the building.The Bonehunters, Chapter 7, UK MMPB p.360-363
