- Ganoes Paran: "I want to be a soldier. A hero."
- Whiskeyjack: "You'll grow out of it."
- ―Whiskeyjack's first meeting with a 12-year-old Ganoes Paran[src]
Whiskeyjack was Sergeant of the 9th squad of the Bridgeburners and had been a commander of the 2nd Army, one of the Old Guard, in the past.[2][3]
He commanded utter loyalty from his soldiers and respect from his enemies. The Moranth for example, pledged that they would always assist 'Bird That Steals' as he 'treaded the enemy's shadow'.[1] He displayed "an immeasurable strength of will".[4] Whiskeyjack and Dujek Onearm were close friends.[5]
Whiskeyjack was a solidly built man "late in his years" with a close-trimmed greying beard, hard grey eyes, and the strong scarred hands of a mason turned veteran soldier.[4][6][7] He wore a visored helm with a chain camail and a battered calf-length chain hauberk that was ribboned with leather stitches.[8]
His skill at swordsmanship was such that Dassem Ultor had to work hard to get past his guard when the two practice sparred.[9]
His name, like many Malazan soldiers, was said to have been bestowed upon him by the legendary Master Sergeant, Braven Tooth.[10]
In Gardens of the Moon[]
Prologue[]
In the 1154th year of Burn's Sleep, the 12-year-old Ganoes Paran met a Commander of the Malazan Army, later identified as Whiskeyjack, whom he recognised by his regimental accoutrements as a Commander in the Third and a Bridgeburner.[11] Whiskeyjack was overseeing the deployment of unseasoned troops to quell riots in the Mouse Quarter of Malaz City. His encounter with Surly indicated a certain amount of antagonism between them.[12]
Whiskeyjack was described as looking young for a Commander. He had a scarred face and grey eyes. He was wearing armour which included vambraced forearms and a scabbarded longsword. On his dark grey shoulder cloak was a Bridgeburner silver brooch: a bridge of stone, lit by ruby flames.[13]
After putting down the riots, Whiskeyjack and his new recruits left Malaz on transports for an unspecified location.[14]
Main Story[]
Whiskeyjack was Sergeant of the 9th Squad of the Bridgeburners.[2] When the tunnels which they were digging collapsed, during the final battle of the Siege of Pale, killing over 1350 Bridgeburners, eight of the fifteen members of Whiskeyjack's squad perished as well.[15] Whiskeyjack's corporal, Kalam Mekhar, pulled some strings and discovered that some unknown persons high up in the Malazan Imperial order had marked the Bridgeburners for death.[16]
Whiskeyjack was present when Quick Ben transferred Hairlock's soul into a puppet.[17]
Toc the Younger remarked to Captain Paran that Whiskeyjack had a lot of followers (i.e. in the armies involved in the Genabackis Campaign) but that the Sergeant acted as if he was not aware of this. He also told Paran that there were still veterans around who remembered that Whiskeyjack had once been a company commander. Paran's reaction indicated that either he had not known this or that he was astonished that Toc knew. Whiskeyjack's previous rank had been thoroughly stripped from the Imperial annals.[18]
During a meeting with Tattersail, Whiskeyjack commented that he knew how it was when Gods got involved.[19]
Whiskeyjack and the remainder of his squad were due to leave for Darujhistan on a covert mission.[20] He did not pass on all the information about the assignment to his squad.[21] Dujek told Whiskeyjack that there was pressure to disband the Bridgeburners. He gave them permission 'to walk' should they survive the mission alive. Whiskeyjack however, who held no grudge that the command structure between himself and Dujek had been reversed, wanted to be at his friend's side should he decide to rebel against the Empire and refused the offer.[22]
When Whiskeyjack was questioned by Dujek as to the whereabouts of the missing Captain Paran, the Sergeant did not share his knowledge about Paran with the Commander.[23]
Whiskeyjack and the squad were dropped by Quorl of the Black Moranth on the north side of Lake Azur. He was told by one of the Moranth that he was well known amongst them and that for 'Bird That Steals' assistance would never be scarce. Whiskeyjack arranged for a Moranth patrol to be in the area two weeks hence. He announced to his squad that he had changed the original plan of mining the city gates as that would have got them all killed.[24] He told them that they had two objectives and would divide into two teams, one led by Kalam and one by himself.[25]
Whiskeyjack had no idea where Hedge and Fiddler acquired a wagon full of cobbles within an hour of the squads midnight landing at a Lakefront dock but it was ideally suited to their plans. Whilst Kalam and Quick Ben went off to make contact with the local Assassins' Guild, Whiskeyjack and his team proceeded to mine the city streets with explosives, enough to level large portions of the city.[26] The sergeant had been persuaded by Quick Ben and Kalam to keep Sorry on his own team. He was deeply troubled by the girls apparent youthfulness and her contrasting cold blooded killer behaviour.[27]
The Bridgeburners then began to await their cue. In the distance, a Jaghut Tyrant was unleashed by Adjunct Lorn and Tool. During the ensuing encounters, Whiskeyjack's leg got badly broken when part of a pillar fell on top of it.[28]
Dujek recalled Whiskeyjack to be his second-in-command at the end of Gardens of the Moon.
In Memories of Ice[]
Whiskeyjack was now Second-in-Command of Dujek Onearm's Rebel Army at Pale and reinstated as a Commander. Upon leaving Darujhistan, Quick Ben had been assigned to his staff.[29][30] His leg, which had been injured at the Fête, continuously gave him pain and made riding awkward, but he continually put off having it seen to by Mallet as he was too busy with his new duties.[31][32]
Paran took up Whiskeyjack's offer of becoming Captain of the Bridgeburners.[33] Mallet commented that Paran was as stubborn as Whiskeyjack himself and that surely, the two of them must be related, upon which Whiskeyjack told him that the average street dog's blood was purer than his own. Worried over the surviving Bridgeburners' overt antagonism towards their new captain, Whiskeyjack ordered Mallet to watch Paran's back.[34]
Along with Onearm, Whiskeyjack met with Caladan Brood to secure an alliance in the fight against the Pannion Domin.[35] During their conference, Whiskeyjack recognised the table in Brood's command tent as one that had been made by Fiddler and Hedge in Mott Wood but declined Brood's offer of having it returned.[36]
Korlat admired Whiskeyjack from their first meeting and the child Silverfox told the Tiste Andii that "Uncle Whiskeyjack" was someone to be trusted.[37] When Brood's second in command, Kallor, demanded that the soul-shifted Silverfox be destroyed as an abomination, Whiskeyjack took to her defence. The High King laughed in contempt, so Whiskeyjack struck him,[38] something no one had done in centuries. The Bridgeburner even stared down Anomander Rake when the Son of Darkness' position on the issue wavered.[39] After learning the child's origins, he arranged for Ganoes Paran to meet her, partly out of compassion for the man and partly in hopes of bringing Tattersail to the child's forefront.[40] Aware that Quick Ben was pursuing some investigation of his own and alarmed by the implications, he allowed the mage a loose leash to continue as long as he eventually reported back his findings.[41]
Korlat was drawn to Whiskeyjack's unshakeable integrity and the two eventually became lovers.[42][43] To Korlat's disbelief, Whiskeyjack also forged a friendship with the Son of Darkness over the course of several evenings of conversation. At their first meeting, Whiskeyjack shared the story of the founding of the Bridgeburners. In Korlat's memory, it was the only such friendship Rake had kindled since he had bonded with Caladan Brood thousands of years before. It was mentioned in passing how the two men were both were more alike than different.[44][45] Whiskeyjack and Korlat's relationship was difficult at times as the Malazan's position meant he had to keep secrets from her, such as the truth of his renegade status. But Rake helped Korlat understand Whiskeyjack's motivations.[46]
After successfully lifting the Siege of Capustan, Whiskeyjack saw the Pannion Seer's cannibal Tenescowri hordes as victims and would hear no call for their slaughter.[47] Rake attempted to take the Tenescowri leader Anaster into custody triggering a sorcerous attack by the Women of the Dead Seed who guarded him. As they were resistant to his magic, the Son of Darkness was forced to begin slaying the women with his soul-stealing sword Dragnipur. Whiskeyjack intervened out of a sense of compassion for both Rake and the women and single-handedly executed the remaining women by more conventional methods. He was ashamed that his soldiers had seen him commit an act of seeming murder, but Korlat chastised her lover for underestimating their understanding and sympathy.[48] Whiskeyjack continued to be too busy to seek healing for his wounded leg, even turning down Rake's offer to have Brood repair it with High Denul.[49]
The alliance determined to take the war to the Pannion Seer at Coral. On the campaign trail, Dujek tried to put Empress Laseen's recent actions into context for Whiskeyjack. He explained how the Empress had inverted the command structure not as punishment, but to prepare for the eventual return of Shadowthrone and Cotillion by placing competent men like Whiskeyjack in the front lines to counter them.[50] The decimation of the Bridgeburners at Pale had been a tragic accident. Tayschrenn had placed them in the tunnels to keep them protected in the battle, and had not anticipated their collapse. The events at Darujhistan had been the result of a miscommunication between the Empress and her agents.[51]
After the success of the current campaign, the Empress planned to place Onearm's Host in Whiskeyjack's hands and send him to Seven Cities to help put down the rebellion. But Whiskeyjack decided that he would retire after this last battle whether the Empress approved or not. Korlat planned to go with him, suggesting they settle in a "log cabin in some frontier kingdom, a long way away from the Empire" or a "remote, wind-battered keep in some mountain fastness."[52][53]
Dujek devised a plan to secretly send the bulk of the Malazan army ahead to Coral without alerting their allies. Whiskeyjack was left behind to break the news at Maurik, earning Brood and Kallor's scorn. Korlat joined Whiskeyjack's small army in their attempt to force march to Coral where Dujek was already engaged in the Battle of Black Coral. But Brood and his soldiers lingered behind.[54]
They were followed to Coral by Kallor who launched a traitorous attack on Korlat and Silverfox. Whiskeyjack defended the Bonecaster, but in the ensuing duel the leg wound from Darujhistan, which Mallet had offered to heal time and again, caused Whiskeyjack's leg to buckle, giving Kallor the opportunity to kill him. Korlat and Whiskeyjack's eyes met as he died. Kallor then killed the two marines who had been guarding Silverfox before making his escape by Warren.[55] The army was devastated and Mallet collapsed under the weight of the responsibility he felt. Korlat lied to a disbelieving Dujek, saying Whiskeyjack's leg had broken only after the fatal blow. She and her brother Orfantal vowed to pursue Kallor and bring him to Rake's justice.[56]
Once the Seer was defeated, Anomander Rake offered the crippled Moon's Spawn as a worthy sarcophagus for Whiskeyjack, the two slain guards, and the fallen Bridgeburners.[57] Moon's Spawn then drifted off, eastwards over the Rust Ocean where it would eventually sink beneath the waves. Paran and Quick Ben had missed the interment but were able to pay their respects with the help of Paran's abilities as Master of the Deck. They saw three black-wood sarcophagi flanked by two others, presumably Whiskeyjack and the dead guards, on the dais of the throne room of Moon's Spawn. Other sarcophagi were lining the approach, displaying signs of sorcery present. Just before leaving, Paran thanked and blessed the dead. After they had left, a mysterious new glow was evident in the chamber.[58]
Dujek gathered the surviving Bridgeburners and allowed them to secretly retire with their full back pay as had been Whiskeyjack's wish. As far as the rest of the Empire was aware, they had died with their comrades-in-arms.[59]
In House of Chains[]
The Bridgeburners once slain, had ascended due to the Tanno Spiritwalker Kimloc's song combined with the Master of the Deck's blessing of the Bridgeburners' corpses interred in the ruins of Moon's Spawn.[60]
In The Bonehunters[]
After crossing the Jhag Odhan to the Olphara Peninsula, Samar Dev and Karsa Orlong met Boatfinder, a tribal leader of the Anibar, who told them a story of a man the Anibar called the Iron Prophet. During the Malazan invasion of Seven Cities, which the Anibar knew as the Time of Great Slaying, many Ugari had fled their settlements to take refuge among the Anibar in the Jhag Odhan. The Mezla followed and there was a great battle that saw the Ugari defeated and killed. The Anibar feared Mezla retribution for sheltering the Ugari and prepared to flee deeper into the Odhan. But the Mezla leader, King Iskar Jarak, and a hundred of his soldiers intercepted them. He told the Anibar they were not his enemy, but warned that others were coming and they would destroy the Anibar without mercy if they found them. The Anibar took the King's advice and fled to new homelands in the north and west.[61]
Iskar Jarak told the Anibar that in a time of great peril, wielders of birth-stones would come to defend them. On being questioned by Samar Dev, he elaborated that "King" Iskar Jarak's kingdom was of the 'unfound time' meaning the future. He also told her that from the past to the present there was a bridge which the Anibar could not cross and it was burning.[61]
The Queen of Dreams revealed that Hood had never forgiven Whiskeyjack for stealing his little sister from Hood's temple when she was a baby and that his death had been 'encouraged' by the Lord of Death in little ways, preventing healers seeing to Whiskeyjack's bad leg for example. She also made a point of saying that Hood now regretted his decision.[62]
In Reaper's Gale[]
Quick Ben and Fiddler separately thought of Whiskeyjack when reminiscing over lost friends.[63][64] The High Mage told Trull Sengar of a promise he made Whiskeyjack "that has brought me all this way, with farther still to go."[65] Fiddler recalled the first time the Malazan army had acquired Moranth munitions outside Malyntaeas and Whiskeyjack had given them to him and Hedge to test. Whiskeyjack had advised them not to get themselves killed.[66]
In Toll the Hounds[]
A Trygalle Trade Guild carriage led by Master Quell and accompanied by Gruntle attempted to pass through Hood's realm, but they were unexpectedly overwhelmed by a hostile army of the dead and forced to escape.[67] Quell and Gruntle returned later to learn the source of the problem and were threatened for trespassing by Hood's servant, the Seguleh Second. Before the Second could goad Gruntle into combat he was interrupted by the arrival of three more dead on horseback who he called his watchdogs: Whiskeyjack, Toc the Younger, and Brukhalian--though Whiskeyjack now went by the name Iskar Jarak. Toc warned the two mortals that Hood's realm was now sealed to the living.[68]
Kallor came upon Spinnock Durav guarding Darujhistan from his approach. The High King begged him to stand aside, insisting he had no desire to murder honourable men and loyal soldiers. He said had not intended to kill Whiskeyjack, but Silverfox needed to die and Whiskeyjack had just gotten in the way. He claimed they would all one day rue his failure to take the Bonecaster's life.[69]
As part of an arrangement with Anomander Rake, Hood brought his army of the dead into Dragnipur to defend The wagon against the legions of Chaos while Rake worked to save the Gate of Darkness. Hood placed Whiskeyjack in charge of his army, which was accompanied by Dujek Onearm, Brukhalian and the Grey Swords, Bult and the 7th Army, and the ascended Bridgeburners.[70] After the Gate was relocated to Black Coral, ending Chaos' eternal pursuit, Hood acknowledged that Rake had fulfilled his end of the bargain. But the god questioned whether he needed to honour his promises now that Rake was gone. Whiskeyjack chastised him for thinking of betraying Rake, and the god accepted his judgement.[71]
In Dust of Dreams[]
Whiskeyjack and his Bridgeburners returned as guardians and arbiters of Hood's Gate.
In The Crippled God[]
Whiskeyjack led his fellow Bridgeburners to aid the forces of the Bonehunters against the armies of the Forkrul Assail. After the battle Whiskeyjack was granted one final moment with Korlat. It was remarked that he had eternity to wait for her, and that he would.

History[]
Family and early years[]
Whiskeyjack bristled at insinuations that he came from a noble family, saying the "average camp dog has purer blood than what's in my family line."[73] In fact, he had been a stone-cutter apprenticed to a mason before becoming a soldier.[74][75] During his first battle, he had still had the chalk of his father's quarry on his boots. It was there amidst the dead that he found the plain longsword he carried for his entire life.[76]
Whiskeyjack had a younger half-sister, Dunsparrow, who was last seen escaping from Y'Ghatan with Leoman of the Flails in The Bonehunters. She had been born while Whiskeyjack was finishing his apprenticeship. Because his step-mother died in childbirth and his father had already been killed outside Quon, the village elders gave the girl up to the temple of Hood. Whiskeyjack and Fiddler broke into the temple to steal her back even though she had already been consecrated in the god's name.[77] In a conversation about siblings, Whiskeyjack made the observation that a scar on his forearm was caused by having been bitten by a five year old girl when he was sixteen. He described it as the first fight he ever lost. The context seemed to infer that he was referring to a sister, possibly Dunsparrow.[78]
Under the Emperor[]
Whiskeyjack took part in the conquest of Seven Cities, fought through the breach at Aren, and saw action in the Holy Desert Raraku, and Pan'potsun.[3]
At some point, Whiskeyjack's 7th Company, of either the 2nd or 3rd Army (seeTalk:Whiskeyjack), chased down a cabal of rebel mages across the Pan'potsun Waste and the Holy Desert, Raraku.[79] This action led to the forging of the Bridgeburners[80] and, some claimed, the end of the war itself.[81]
During the Siege of Y'Ghatan, Dassem Ultor turned over the battle to the sub-commanders of the 3rd Army, Whiskeyjack amongst them.[82]
Kalam Mekhar remembered that Korbolo Dom had replaced Whiskeyjack after Raraku and in turn was replaced by Dujek Onearm.[83]
After Dassem's fall at Y'Ghatan, Whiskeyjack was sent to Malaz City to put down the riots in the Mouse Quarter. The Bridgeburners then went on to participate in the conquest of Genabackis where Whiskeyjack fought at Nathilog,[3] and Blackdog Forest.
Under the Empress[]
At some point after taking the Imperial Throne, Laseen inverted the command structure. Commander Whiskeyjack was demoted and ended up as Sergeant of the ninth squad of the Bridgeburners. Although wounded by this dishonour, Whiskeyjack did not talk about it and soldiered on. Dujek later revealed to Whiskeyjack that Laseen had taken this course of action to ensure the right people would be at ground level when Shadowthrone and Cotillion made their move.[84]
Trivia[]
- In at least one edition of Toll the Hounds, Spinnock Durav refers to Whiskeyjack as "a man in his late forties" as opposed to "a man late in his years" in other editions.[85]
Author's comments[]
Steven Erikson named Whiskeyjack after the Grey Jay, a bird native to Canada that is often called a whiskey jack. See his comments in a Tor Q&A session.[86]
Speculations[]
- The Native American god Wisakedjak may also have influenced Whiskeyjack's name.
- There is a debate as to whether Iskar Jarak was Whiskeyjack's original birth-name. There is no conclusive evidence for either argument. For speculations about the name 'Iskar Jarak', see the following forum thread: Does Whiskeyjack have an alter ego?
- Like Whiskeyjack, the name Iskar Jarak has a bird connotation as well. A Jarak was a type of grey-hooded starling-sized bird found in Letheras.[87]
