Bursa

Bursa was a corporal in Urusander's Legion and reported to Scara Bandaris.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 13, UK HC p.376 He was one of Hunn Raal's many renegades leading attacks against Deniers in an attempt to place Vatha Urusander on the throne of Kharkanas. He seemed to relish killing and carnage, laughing and making jokes afterwards.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 13, UK HC p.377Forge of Darkness, Chapter 17, UK HC p.550
Cruel and merciless to his enemies, he was nevertheless attentive to the needs of his soldiers. He gave Narad, a new recruit in his squad, his own pair of spare trousers.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 14, UK HC p.426
== In Forge of Darkness==
Bursa participated in the campaign against the Deniers, slaying the women and children of their villages. He was also present at the massacre of House Enes and joked about the rape and murder of Enesdia.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 14, UK HC p.426 When Captain Scara Bandaris learned of his soldiers' involvement he rebuked them, resigned his commission, and invited any volunteers to accompany him. Bursa took his offer.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 20, UK HC p.647
==Trivia==
Bursa appears in the Dramatis Personae list of Fall of Light, but this is an error. The character who is referred to throughout that novel as "Bursa" is actually Bered, a member of the Wardens of the Outer Reach. Author Steven Erikson seems to have gotten the two character names confused between books. Alternately, Erikson mentions in a 2013 interview that Forge of Darkness features two characters named Bursa. Perhaps one character was renamed during the editorial stage and he forgot while writing the next novel.Ask Steven Erikson Your Toll the Hounds Questions! - See answer to question 3
