'''Denth's crew''' is a small group of mercenaries on [[Nalthis]] hired by [[Bluefingers]] to aid in the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]].{{wob ref|6723}}
== History ==
While it hasn't been revealed how Denth and [[Tonk Fah]] first joined forces, [[Jewels]] originally joined the crew because she was in love with [[Arsteel]]. Arsteel joined because he wanted to try and redeem Denth. He thought a reconciliation between Denth and [[Vasher]] was possible with his help.{{wob ref|6806}} Being killed by Vasher and brought back as a Lifeless was, presumably, not part of the original plan. As a Lifeless, Arsteel goes by the name Clod.
[[Arsteel]] joined up with [[Denth]] sometime after the [[Manywar]] because he wanted to try and redeem Denth. He thought a reconciliation between Denth and [[Vasher]] was possible with his help; instead, he was killed by Vasher. Denth brought him back as a [[Lifeless]] because he knew Arsteel could continue to contribute to the crew by means of his excellent combat skills.{{wob ref|6806}} As a Lifeless, Arsteel goes by the name Clod. [[Jewels]] originally joined the crew because she was in love with Arsteel (she still is). It isn’t clear how Denth and [[Tonk Fah]] first joined forces.
Prior to [[Vivenna]]'s integration into the group, the crew had been hired by Bluefingers for the task of increasing tensions between [[Hallandren]] and [[Idris]] to drive Hallandren to war.{{wob ref|7283}}{{book ref|wb|58}} Early on, Denth managedmanages to get employment with [[Lemex]] to use as an in with the Idrian community in Hallandren. When word camecomes that [[Vivenna]] wasis on her way, however, Denth realizedrealizes that she wouldcould be a betterbackup pawn for their overall plan and beganbegins poisoning Lemex so that they couldcan kidnapgain control of and use Vivenna when she arrivedarrives.{{wob ref|6720}}
Upon her arrival in Hallandren, the crew ingratiates themselves to Vivenna, lettingdoing a thorough job of manipulating her thinkinto thinking that due to Lemex’s demise she wasis now their employer,.{{book ref|wb|10}} whileWhile atVivenna believes the samecrew timeis usinghelping her to help her people, they actually use her as a symbol to inflame the local Idrian population against the Hallandren leadership and to show the Hallendrens that the Idrians are worth going to war against. First, they discuss and employ such tactics as disrupting the food supply to the city and inciting revolts in the dye fields. They meet with merchants, crime lords, and politicians, using Vivenna’s [[Royal Locks]] as proof of her identity.{{book ref|wb|22}} Vivenna is allowed to be present when they attack a salt merchant’s shop, which is only a cover for the crew’s true motive: kidnapping the daughter of [[Nanrovah]], high priest of [[Stillmark]], to blackmail him into changing his vote at court to one for war.{{book ref|wb|49}} It is only after her brief kidnapping by Vasher that Vivenna discovers, upon her return, the crew's actual intentions.{{book ref|wb|35}} She escapes the crew and is eventually rescued again by Vasher, together with whom she does what she can to counter what the crew has been doing.
After Denth's death at Vasher’s hands, the crew splitsplits up. Jewels wentleaves to take the Lifeless Arsteel to his brother Yesteel, master of Lifeless Commands, in the hope that he couldcan find a way to restore Arsteel's memories and personality. Tonk Fah, free from the direction and control that Denth provided for his murderous urges, wentgoes off to begin killing wantonly.{{wob ref|7471}}
