The Malaz 3rd Army was led by Dassem Ultor in the conquests of Falar and Seven Cities. Among the former commanders were Whiskeyjack, Choss, and Amaron. By the time of Gardens of the Moon, it was either disbanded or destroyed. The Army was present and took heavy losses during the Siege of Y'Ghatan. Before Y'Ghatan fell, Dassem Ultor was allegedly killed, and the command of the 3rd passed to High Fist Choss. The 3rd Army later participated in the campaigns in Genabackis when the Malazans invaded the city of Mott followed by the disastrous campaigns of Mott Wood and Blackdog swamp.
