Character Profiles(we need your help)

OK for some reason it's not letting me post it at the Add Character Info bit on that page, as Echo said it seems to be broken, so I will do one for Caladan Brood, who doesn't seem to be there either under C or B. OK, if anyone disagrees, or wants to add/change anything tell me and I will edit it immediately.
Name: Caladan Brood
Title: Warlord
Creature: Half Barghast, Half human
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown - reaching into the tens of thousands of years.
Height: 7ft. (I think!)
Hair_Colour: Dark
Eye_Colour: Dark
Description: Tall yet very muscular, his presence demands respect.
Warren: He has High Denul, the healers warren, and Tennes Burns own warren - Burns Champion
Personality: Quick to temper, yet with an underlying kindness. He is friends with Anomander Rake, though perhaps friendship is too strong a word. They are allies and have team up to help defeat the Malazan presence on Genebackis, though the reasons are still slightly unclear. He demands ultimate respect and authority, and his huge hammer sees that he gets it.
About: He carries a huge hammer and commands a force allied with the Crimson Guard, and Anomander Rakes Tiste Andii. His second in command is Kallor, who used to be High King of a realm he subsequently destroyed (which became the imperial warren) with the fall of the crippled God.
Spoilers Section: For those who haven't read MOI, don't read this. He and Anomander Rake team up with Whiskeyjack and Dujek to combat the threat of the Pannion Domin on Genebackis. The alliance is uneasy, and at one point actually uses his hammer (a very powerful weapon by any account) on Kruppe, who mildly smiles and seems unaffected. It is revealed that his hammer actually has the power to awaken the sleeping Goddess, burn and he is in a dilemma whether to do so, when the Crippled God awakens and starts poisoning both the warrens and Burn herself.
OK, OK, there are many faults and missing gaps, I need to reread parts of MOI to gain more info, but if anyone wants to tell me anythings else or amend facts, then please post and I will edit. This is just to the best of my knowledge and flaky memory.
Cheers.

Uhmm - Is the link to Add Character Info on the Characters page broken.
Also how about adding "Trivia" to your template, as it seems to me that with certain seemingly minor characters, this is about all we know ...
e.g. A'Karonys : Short fat fire (Thyr?) mage, frozen to death and turned to dust at the siege of Pale (by Tayschrenn). Also part of the Old Guard, and fought with Whiskeyjack et al at Aren. (Latter questionable).

Not so, Nightchill was being torn into shreds by a Kenryll'ah demon at the time.. A'Karonys was engulfed in a ball of fire..Tayschrenns work.

Hi Echo, If you would like to add a profile the best way is to just post it in the website forum.

I think Brood is half human, or at least so seem to think Tayschrenn/Hairlock/Tattersail/Calot as they speak about Brood and Rake in the beginning of GOTM. Something like: "he is human, maybe not just human, but there is nothing of the Elder Races/Sorcery in his blood".
Then, while Brood IS High Denul, he's also a Tennes mage which is the warren of Burn and is generally something like Burn's champion.
He doesn't command the Crimson Guard - it is commanded by K'azz Davore and is in alliance with Brood's own forces (Rhivi and Andii).
Kallor didnt create himself a warren, he ruled upon a continent (Jakuruku) that he later incinerated and K'rul transformed it into a Warren (the imperial warren).
But i think this goes beyond the scope of Brood's profile.
It also known that he was companions with Rake and the Queen of Dreams, before the latter ascended to take the throne in High House Life.

it doesn't matter if they are not listed, you can still write em. Most of the HoC characters aren't listed.

The problem is that Erikson doesn't really provide physical descriptions of the characters. Well, he does for some (Whiskeyjack, Tavore, Heboric, Tattersail/Silverfox), but can anyone actually tell me what Itkovian looks like?
