==In Return of the Crimson Guard==
Banath reported to newly elevated Captain Hurl during the Talian League's siege of Li Heng. At first, Hurl worried that Banath would be angered by the unorthodox command structure, but he never proved anything less than loyal and competent.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 3, US HC p.339
Banath fought alongside Hurl on the walls of Li Heng when the League infiltrated the urban levies and treacherously turned on the city's defenders. Banath organized a quick response and Hurl recommended him for a commendation to Fist Storo Matash.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 3, US HC p.338/347
He later accompanied Hurl as part of the delegation that stood up to the Itko Kan Confederacy and their attempt to capitalise on the Malazan civil war.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 5, US HC p.479 After Empress Laseen arrived with the Malaz 4th Army to lift the siege, Banath accompanied Hurl on the hunt for the man-jackal Ryllandaras. It was likely a suicide mission and Hurl ultimately ordered Banath back to the city despite his protests.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 5, US HC p.681
