Midik Buhn was a Tiste Edur of the Hiroth tribe, and the unblooded[1] second son of the Buhn bloodline. His brother was Theradas Buhn.[1] He was Rhulad Sengar's childhood companion,[2] and the youngest Sengar considered him nearly his equal with the sword.[1]
In Midnight Tides[]
The Warlock King Hannan Mosag assigned the four Sengar brothers to journey into the eastern Ice fields to retrieve a gift he claimed to see in a vision. Two more journeyers were required to match the six Edur Mosag saw in his vision, so Fear Sengar chose and Midik and Theradas to accompany them.[3]
Once they located the sword, Midik and Theradas worked as a team defending the group from an attack of Soletaken Jheck.[4] After claiming their prize, Midik wept as the Sengar brothers wrapped Rhulad's corpse. The Jheck pursued the escaping Edur in their wolf forms. Midik served on point, while Theradas and Fear hurriedly pulled the sleds holding the wounded Binadas and the corpse of Rhulad still clasping the sword.[5]
Rhulad's corpse was returned to life by the Crippled God and Midik knelt in fealty to the new self-proclaimed Emperor of the Edur.[6] During the Edur's subsequent invasion of the Kingdom of Lether, Midik was blooded at the capture of Trate.[7]
Midik and Theradas were among the group of Edur who stayed by the new emperor's side. After the Battle of Brans Keep these Edur were angered by the emperor's reliance on his Letherii slave, Udinaas, casting dark looks his way. Theradas struck Udinaas to the ground as if on accident leading to laughs from Midik and the others.[8]
After the fall of Letheras, both Rhulad's unwilling wife, Mayen, and Udinaas took the opportunity to escape. Trull Sengar sent Midik, Theradas, and twelve Edur into the fallen city to recover Mayen and Theradas promised to slay Udinaas if they found him.[9] The group of Edur discovered Mayen a victim of suicide, lying at the feet of Tehol Beddict and his Shavankrat bodyguard. After killing the bodyguard, Theradas began beating and kicking Tehol to death for his insolence. Tehol's friend, the watchman Chalas, received the same treatment when he tried to intervene and cover Tehol's body with his own. Midik laughed as Theradas crushed Chalas' skull with his stomps.[10]
When Bugg discovered what the Edur had done, he lost his temper and killed Midik and the Edur save Theradas instantly, exploding them into bloody pieces. For Theradas he saved the special fate of death by drowning, using his Warren to send the man deep below the sea.[11]
