'Was (a Fist), till he married a local woman who just happened to be the daughter of Halaf's last Holy Protector. He's turned renegade, had to execute half his own legion who refused to step across with him. The other half divested the Imperial uniform, proclaimed themselves the Whirlwind Legion or something like that.' - (DG, UK MMPB, p.371)

'was Whiskeyjack's replacement...for a time. After Raraku. A superb tactician, but a little too bloodthirsty for my ([Kalam Mekhar's) tastes. For Laseen, too, which was why she holed him in Halaf.' - (DG, UK MMPB, p.371-2)

"It is Korbolo Dom who now pursues us.  The man was a Fist in his own right, and is a very able commander and tactician.  Kamist Reloe is a mage, not a leader of soldiers - he wasted his army, thining to rely upon numbers and numbers alone. Korbolo will not be so foolish.  If our enemy arrives at the river Vathar before we do, we are finished -" Duiker - (DG UK mmpb. p.)
