Character from Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson
Barghast warrior woman, daughter of Humbrall Taur, fierce and unapologetic in both battle and desire — Toc the Younger's wife.
Hetan is Barghast through and through — fierce, blunt, sexually aggressive by any culture's standards, and utterly fearless. She is the daughter of the White Face Barghast war chief and a formidable warrior in her own right. Her relationship with Toc the Younger is passionate and protective. What happens to her at the hands of the Barghast after Tool's apparent death is one of the series' most harrowing passages — a brutal critique of tribalism and the cruelty cultures inflict on women.
Powerfully built Barghast woman with ritual scarring and dark skin. Wild black hair, strong jaw, fierce eyes. Carries weapons with the comfort of someone born to war.
Also known as: Hetan, Hetan of the White Face
