Poot

Poot was a new member of Sergeant Jumpy's saboteur squad in the Malaz 4th Army. He was a skinny, pox-faced kid.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 6, US HC p.524
==In Return of the Crimson Guard==
Poot joined the Malazan civil war as a member of the Untan civilian militia. He fought on the front lines of the Battle of the Plains before stumbling upon a cache of abandoned Moranth munitions with his fellow soldiers Jawl, Stubbin, and Kibb. Jumpy was forced to recruit the four as sappers in order to take possession of the dangerous weapons before they accidentally killed themselves. The newly enlarged squad went on the offensive attacking the Gold Moranth frontline with munitions fire.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 6, US HC p.507-508/511/523-524
That night Poot and the other civilian recruits volunteered to accompany Jumpy's squad back onto the field to look for the missing sapper Brill. In the process they tangled with the man-jackal Ryllandaras.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 6, US HC p.522-528
On the second day of the battle, Jumpy's saboteurs occupied a redoubt on the eastern portion of the battlefield targeting Crimson Guard Avowed. When the battle turned against the Malazans, the redoubt became a refuge for the army's left flank and consequently a focus of the Guard attacks. Poot fell to friendly fire when another defender's crossbow mistakenly fired into his head.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 3, US HC p.635
