Sarlis

Sarlis was a life-long resident of Silver LakeThe God is Not Willing, Chapter 17, US HC p.309 and the mother of Rant. On the day Karsa Orlong, Bairoth Gild, and Delum Thord had raided the settlement, Karsa had raped her while under the influence of Blood-oil. Her mind had been broken by the powerful Teblor substance and ever since she suffered continuous bouts of its maddening fever.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 3, US HC p.70-71
Her memories of her childhood and teenage years had largely been torn away and replaced by ragged tatters of images stained red by blood-oil. She no longer recalled the faces of her parents. But the blood-oil had heightened her senses so that every feeling since that day--every moment of anguish and ecstasy--had been burned into her with vicious clarity. Whenever the fever returned, the pain crawled like fire beneath her skin.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 15, US HC p.251-252 
The blood-oil had left Sarlis' teeth stained permanently red.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 3, US HC p.51 Her worrylined faced was covered in bruises and scabs from where she beat herself out guilt and shame while giggling and sobbing.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 6, US HC p.105The God is Not Willing, Chapter 3, US HC p.52The God is Not Willing, Chapter 4, US HC p.64 Despised by the others of Silver Lake, she had become a prostitute selling a taste of the blood-oil addiction for food and coin from her home by the boat-yards of the Silver Lake waterfront.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 4, US HC p.63-64The God is Not Willing, Chapter 15, US HC p.250/252The God is Not Willing, Chapter 19, US HC p.361 Those who partook of her services always hungered for more of the blood-oil's touch.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 15, US HC p.254 Just being in Sarlis' vicinity was enough for the blood-oil to cause heat, discomfort, and inability to concentrate in onlookers.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 15, US HC p.253-254
Rant, the half-breed son sired by Karsa Orlong, gestated for two years inside her and after his birth was hated and feared by the others of the settlement as he grew to enormous size.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 15, US HC p.254-255The God is Not Willing, Chapter 3, US HC p.51 Sarlis became his sole guide into the world of grownups and he was consequently left innocent and ignorant of the ways of the world.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 3, US HC p.51The God is Not Willing, Chapter 14, US HC p.242 At the same time, she desperately fought the blood-oil's urgings to lay with him like the other men who visited her.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 4, US HC p.64-65 
==In House of Chains==
Karsa, Bairoth, and Delum raided Silver Lake, but were eventually brought down by weight of numbers. Bairoth and Delum were killed and Karsa was brought in chains to Master Silgar's slave pens. After escaping with the aid of Torvald Nom, Karsa sought to deliver vengeance on the town for his departed friends.House of Chains, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.100-126 While searching huts for a weapon he found a weathered Bloodwood sword, a set of archaic wooden Teblor armour, and a small jar of blood-oil. He rubbed the oil into the wooden armour before donning it and into the sword as well. Then he kissed the blade and was immediately filled with lust and rage. He burst into a nearby home, sending a woman and her servants running before killing the man who tried to defend them. In an upstairs bedroom he found the young Sarlis and raped her.House of Chains, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.128-129 Afterwards, he attacked a Malazan garrison and was captured and taken away to Seven Cities.House of Chains, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.132-137
