==In Return of the Crimson Guard==
Harmin sought out Captain Storo Matash to deliver a note from Orlat Kepten, one of the captains in the rebel Talian League. Upon delivery he asked Matash to tell him his story of how Matash had killed one of the Crimson Guard Avowed during the Genabackis Campaign. Afterwards, a disgusted Harmin called him a barbarian for destroying something so unique and irreplaceable.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 1 Chapter 3, US HC p.102-104 That same night Harmin's superior Fist Rheena was murdered in a failed attempt to bring Li Heng under the League's control.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 1 Chapter 3, US HC p.132
Harmin was next spotted at a camp of the Talian League when Hurl met with Toc the Elder to determine the League's intentions towards the city.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 3 Chapter 5, US HC p.210 His allegiance with the League and his position on Fist Rheena's staff strongly suggested he had some role in her murder.
Li Heng was soon surrounded and besieged by the League. During their first major assault the League activated large numbers of counteragents that had been planted within the city's urban levies. These agents treacherously ambushed their loyalist fellows and opened the gates to the besieging army. Hurl saw Harmin leading one of the turncoat squads.Return of the Crimson Guard, Book 2 Chapter 3, US HC p.342
