He's definitely, definitively not white.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

No, they're specifically mentioned as black.

Their first mention:

Quote

The man in the lead - a sergeant by the torque on his arm - came up to Tattersail. Set deep in a lined, exhausted face, his dark grey eyes searched hers dispassionately. 'This one?' he asked, turning to the tall, thin black-skinned man [Quick Ben] who came up beside him.
This man shook his head. 'No, the one we want is over there,' he said.
Though he spoke Malazan, his harsh accent was Seven Cities.
The third and last man [Kalam], also black, slipped past on the sergeant's left and for all his girth seemed to glide forward, his eyes on Hairlock.

No need to apologise, it took me a good while to notice it at first.

I kind of imagine Kalam to look like George Elokobi.

Hench. Bear like. Hench.

Edit: In fact, Karl Henry (left) could be Quick Ben! Awesome!

Para todos todo, para nosotros nada.

MottI'd always pegged you as more of an Ublala

Fantastic pieces!

I've always favored Idris Elba for Kalam myself.
