Bent was a tawny-haired Wickan cattle-dog and a participant in the Chain of Dogs. His name seems to have come mostly from his appearance. A hoof had connected with its head some time in its past, and the bones had healed lopsided, giving the animal a manic half-snarl that seemed well suited to the vicious gleam in its eyes. He was frequently found in the company of the Hengese lapdog, Roach.
