I could be wrong , but I recall that Daseem knew individual hounds, their names and characteristics. Maybe he read about them? But, he became "traveller" after Cot and ST ascended, which really wasnt that long ago. Maybe they were spying on him and he "met" them. It just seems weird to me. Especially since I was under the impression we knew of most of travellers experience after NoK, and it doesnt seem like he would have had a lot of free time for making friends. And I am not trying to be arguemntative, I just thought it was vwery weird when reading it.

So in a sense, he's older than ST and Cots. Am I wrong about that?
you very well could be right, but my impression was that ST was older than DU and Cot. And that DU and Cot were reasonably close in age. Especially the way ICE describes ST. He really makes him sound like a frail old man.
And I have always been curious about rather he joined the cause or was a traditional "old guard" as well. And for that matter , was he valuable to hood because of his status in the Malazan military machine, or was he valuable to the malazan military machine because of his affiliation with hood? (and of course he valuable to both becasue he is a killing machine.)
I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter at the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain...."
