Pravalak Rim

Pravalak Rim was Corporal of Sinter's 4th squad, 8th Legion, 3rd Company of the Bonehunters. The youngest son in his family, he was a country boy who had been lured into the Malazan Military by a beautiful, middle-aged Dal Honese recruiter.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 21, US HC p.646-647 
That day he had simultaneously lost his virginity and been inducted into the army. Although his first great love affair only lasted as long the recruiter's wagon took to get to the next town, he soon found plenty of other Dal Hon women in the army to admire. The latest was Kisswhere, who had rejected him and with whom he was utterly smitten. Sinter, Kisswhere's sister, encouraged him to continue the pursuit, assuring him her sister was coming around.
==In Reaper's Gale==
Adjunct Tavore Paran clashed with Empress Laseen at Malaz City and took the Bonehunters rogue, following the Tiste Edur fleet that had ravaged Sepik back to Lether.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 13, US HC p.356 Tavore invaded the Letherii Empire, burning her transport vessels on the shoreline and spreading the marines in isolated pairs of squads across thirty leagues of coast. The marines moved forward into the Letherii countryside towards Letheras, the capital, with orders to kill Edur by night and stir the occupied Letherii into rebellion. Each squad had a mage responsible for hiding their presence and confusing their enemies.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 13, US HC p.361-365
Sinter's squad, along with Badan Gruk's 5th and Primly's 10th squads, landed furthest south of all the marines. Remaining together, they saw little resistance moving east and soon reached a river. Rather than slog through through waist-deep swamp muck, they stole a fisher boat and sailed upriver. They made excellent time until running into a Letherii galley in the night. Kisswhere and Sinter were lost in the water during a discharge of Moranth munitions. Forced ashore, they were pursued day and night, using up their mages dodging and ducking enemy attacks. Pravalak Rim had seen Kisswhere's hand disappear under the water and he was devastated by her loss. He wished to die himself even as he took command of Sinster's squad with Primly's encouragement.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 21, US HC p.642-643/645-647/650Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.671 
Contrary to the Adjunct's expectations, the Letherii soldiers did not use the Malazan invasion to turn against their Edur occupiers.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 14, US HC p.410Reaper's Gale, Chapter 17, US HC p.481 The marines further north saw intense action, and as they neared Letheras fighting became more desperate and their munition supplies dwindled. Hellian and Urb's squads earned the support of the Letherii slave and Indebted classes by changing tactics to slay the government officials, lawyers, and debt-holders in each village.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 21, US HC p.632 Fiddler and Gesler's squads joined them at a tavern a day's travel from the capital just in time for a force of hundreds of Edur to envelop the village the Malazans occupied.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 21, US HC p.631-636/650
Three days after leaving the river, Sinter, Primly, and Badan Gruk's squads came upon the overwhelmed Malazans. Badan Gruk, Primly, and Corporal Hunt met to discuss what to do without inviting Pravalak Rim to their discussion. Badan Gruk thought to pass around the embattled marines, but Primly and Corporal Hunt argued that their squads were ready to fight. The three squads turned the tide of battle turned the tide of battle with their fresh supply of munitions. The new arrivals deferred to Fiddler's seniority, and the former Bridgeburner ordered the marines to hold their position in hopes they would be reinforced by Fist Keneb.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 21, US HC p.642-643/650/652-653 By the time Keneb's forces arrived, thousands of Edur followed in their wake, pushing the gathered Malazans towards the city where the Imperial Brigade awaited.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.673-674
Caught between the two armies, the 800 remaining MalazansReaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.745 were forced to huddle under Beak's protective spell when the Letherii mages cast a deadly ritual of Chaos upon them and the Edur. The spell was broken, but the hair of all those under Beak's protection turned white. The Edur abandoned the field after their allies' betrayal, and the shaken Imperial Brigade withdrew to meet Adjunct Tavore's more threatening main force as it disembarked from the Lether River.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.679/686-695
Keneb marched on Letheras thinking the marines deserved to be the first to enter the capital.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.778 After the marines found a hidden entrance beneath the wall, the seized the city's western gate to allow the rest of the army entrance.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.779/800 Soon the City Garrison surrendered and the city fell.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.812
