Messremb encountered his old friend Mappo while following the Path of Hands. He had been drawn to the Trell by his curiosity over the scent of Mappo's companion Icarium. Messremb told Mappo he followed the path seeking answers, and Mappo warned him of seeing Ryllandaras in the region.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 2, US HC p.74-75
Later, Messremb was spotted by Felisin Paran, Heboric, and Kulp in the desert of Raraku. The great bear attacked the strange merchant Nawahl Ebur who had sat down for a meal with the trio.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 14, US HC p.378-379
Mappo and Icarium encountered Messremb once more in the strange maze of roots surrounding Tremorlor where the great bear fought a Soletaken Enkar'al. When the Enkar'al darted out of Messremb's reach, Mappo killed it with his axe. But Mappo's friend was attacked in turn by the Hound of Shadow Rood. The Hound consumed one of Messremb's paws as a devastated Mappo watched the Azath House drag his friend to his death within its walls.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 18, US HC p.474-475
==In Memories of Ice==
As the Soletaken First Hero Treach lay dying he recalled how the First Empire's Soletaken ritual had unraveled, shattering a Warren, and driving many of the more powerful Soletaken mad. When the T'lan Imass arrived to correct the error by exterminating the participants, it was the end of the First Empire.Memories of Ice, Chapter 7
Treach and his friends, Ryllandaras and Messremb, were among the few survivors. They fled, but Treach eventually lost track of Messremb, who he called a kind soul and loyal companion who had been twisted by madness.
