Hanut Orr

Hanut Orr of House Orr was a member of the Noble Council in Darujhistan and nephew of the late Turban Orr. Like close associates Shardan Lim and Gorlas Vidikas, he was an arrogant duellist who considered himself one of the Council's new breed.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 1, UK HB p.23 Challice described him as the plaything to half the noble women in the city with a dangerous charm and dominating arrogance that seduced otherwise intelligent women. He took particular delight in seeing his lovers crawl to him on their knees.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 1, UK HB p.23 He was smooth-shavenToll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.671 and had long fingers.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 1, US SFBC p.42 
More senior councilors, such as Estraysian D'Arle and Coll, sought to keep the trio tied up and busy in meaningless committees,Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.673 and D'Arle thought Hanut a preening, fatuous ass. In other words, a true Orr.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.381
Hanut Orr kept a list of likely conspirators he suspected as being collectively responsible for the deaths of Turban Orr, Councilman Lim, and Lady Simtal.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.700-701

Hanut spent many nights socialising with Gorlas Vidikas and Shardan Lim at Gorlas' estate. Like Shardan, he lusted after Challice and made little effort to hide it.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 1, US SFBC p.41-43 None of the men saw each other as true friends, but merely as means to an end.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.248-250Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.382 Gorlas considered that either man might spare him the work of supplying an heir to his estranged wife.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.361 Consequently, when Gorlas left the city on business he arranged for Challice to host his friends in his absence. When Challice appeared uninterested in strengthening ties between House Orr and her own House D'Arle, Hanut left in a fit of anger.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.360-361/380-382
As the loser in the competition for Challice's affection, Hanut's ego was wounded and he and Shardan had a falling out.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 15, US SFBC p.317 Gorlas soon knew of the affair from Hanut's whispers and he seemed to relish his wife's infidelity, so long as the man involved was known to him.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 15, US SFBC p.615-620Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.683-684 The three men continued to work as allies in the Noble Council despite Shardan's open contempt for Hanut. Hanut attempted to intimidate Coll over a Council matter involving the Malazan Embassy, but the elder man outmaneuvered Hanut, fending him off with threats of censure.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.671-674
Murillio traveled to the Eldra Iron Mongers mine in search of the boy, Harllo, where he was confronted by Gorlas, the mine's co-owner, who recognised his name from Hanut's list of conspirators. The nobleman used the information to initiate a duel that led to Murillio's death. Gorlas sent the body to the Phoenix Inn to taunt Murillio's friends leading Cutter to kill him in vengeance.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.697-703/710-714 
In the evening, word of Gorlas' death reached Hanut Orr, who knew of Coll's ties to the Phoenix Inn. Determined to kill Coll and the lowborn conspirators who had also murdered his uncle, Hanut assembled four of his most capable guards. Two were sent to watch Coll's estate while Hanut brought two others, Havet and Kust, with him to the Inn.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.846-847 He set Havet to watch the Inn's front door while Kust went inside to make a show. Hanut positioned himself in the back alley intending to slay anyone attempting to flee but crossed paths with the notorious killer Gaz, who beat him to death. Coll quickly overpowered Kust and then found Hanut's corpse outside. Kruppe's remarks on the nature of the noble's wounds led the Guard with a failing heart to finally identify the killer stalking Darujhistan's streets.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.861-865
