<p>Hi 50.232.142.10: These are all interesting suggestions. However, there being nothing in "Deadhouse Landing" (or any of the other 'Malazan' books) that verifies - or not - these indentifications, we will have to wait for additional SE/ICE books for more information about these characters before we can know for sure. Presumably, ICE had not intended to make such conclusions inevitable at this point, or he would have provided more info/hints in the text of DHL. We'll just have to be patient and wait for the next books, which will eventually answer these and any number of other questions which are currently hanging in the air. Cheers : )   </p>
