Bent is a cattle-dog whose brief but unforgettable arc in the Malazan Book of the Fallen occurs entirely within Deadhouse Gates. Introduced as a tenacious survivor who clears a path through clouds of butterflies, he is later found arrow-studded and lanced yet still fighting. His final act of savage loyalty—tearing out a soldier’s throat before succumbing to his wounds—cements his place as a symbol of unyielding devotion amid the horrors of the Chain of Dogs.
