Gesler : "Stormy!  Stormy!  Androjan Redarr you brainless bastard!" (DoD UK HC p.878) 

"'Stormy? Not Cartharon Fist's Adjutant Stormy -'" - (DG, UK mmpb, p.671)

' He says so many things I can’t remember them all. He’s been right plenty of times, I think. I’m sure of it, in fact. Almost sure.’ Tugg faced Strings. ‘He says you were in Onearm’s Host. And the Empress wants your head on a spike, because you’ve been outlawed.’

The man then turned to Gesler. ‘And he says you and your corporal, Stormy, are Old Guard. Underage marines serving Dassem Ultor, or maybe Cartheron Crust or his brother Urko.' - (HoC UK MMPB, p.641)

Heboric's Healing

After being pierced through the thigh with a spear of water, Heboric attempts to stanch the wound with one of his 'ghost-hands' (loam-smeared? earth-coloured then, the implication being that it is the hand connected to Fener), with startling results:

'Heboric plunged a ghostly, loam-smeared hand directly into the wound...The tattoos flowed out from Heboric's wrist to spread a glowing pattern on the soldier's thigh...the wound closed, the tattoos knitting together like sutures...He'd (Kulp) seen something more than just healing pass from Heboric's arm into Stormy. Whatever it had been, it was virulent and tinged with madness.' - (DG, UK MMPB, p.327-8)

Speculation: if the ghost hand that Heboric used was the one connected to Fener and/or the Boar God's warren, then it seems likely that Stormy is Fener's new Shield-Anvil, a title which Legana Breed attributes to him in BH . This might also explain Stormy's commentary in the Imperial Warren with Kalam and Quick Ben,and its tone - (BH UK Tpb, p.328-331)

After the Warren of Telas (Tellann)

“Adjutant Stormy,”  Cotillion said,  “is not quite as mortal as he might seem.  Annealed in the fires of Thyrllan.  Or Kurald Liosan.  Or Tellann.  Or all three.  In any case, as you can see, he’s mending already.  The broken ribs are completely healed, as is the failing liver and shattered hip.  And the cracked skull.  Alas, nothing can be done for the brain in it .......

......Adjutant Stormy.  Annealed in holy fires.  Still scowling.  - (BH, UK tpb. p222)

Beak : "Gesler and Stormy, they’re the Falari ones, but with skins of gold and muscles and all that, the ones who were re-forged in the fires of Tellann.  Telas, Kurald Liosan, the fires, the ones dragons fly through to gain immunities and other proofs against magic and worse.  Yes, they’re there, too.”(RG)

Pella thought about his squad.  Something odd about all three of them.  Gesler, Stormy and Truth.  Not just that strangely gold skin, either - (BH UK TPB, p.)

The Imass Sword

Legana Breed faced Stormy again. ‘I am the last of my clan,’ he rumbled. ‘L’echae Shayn shall end. This weapon is our memory. Carry it, mortal. Learn its weight. Stone ever thirsts for blood.’ He offered the marine the four-foot-long sword.  Face blank, Stormy accepted it. Felisin saw the muscles of his forearms stiffen as they took the weight and held it. (DG UK TPB, p.268)

'..and as for this Falari soldier here, his spirit is bound to a T'lan Imass, and the Fire of Life that passes for worship among the T'lan Imass..' Apsalar - (BH, UK Tpb, p.3690
