Tourmaline

Tourmaline was a Moranth Gold infantry sergeant. Although it was not immediately clear because of all the armour, she was in fact a woman.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 3, UK PB p.649
==In Return of the Crimson Guard==
Tourmaline was one of two thousand Gold Moranth infantry serving under Commander V'thell who fought for the Talian League in the Malazan civil war. She fought the Malazan Empire and the Crimson Guard successively at the Battle of the Plains near Li Heng. On the third day of the battle she volunteered to use munitions to attempt to close a rent opened by the crazed mage Yathengar 'ul Amal. She was severely burned on the back by magic while setting the charges, but the resulting explosion ultimately closed the breach. Tourmaline had to be carried off the field, but she survived.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 3, US HC p.645/655
