Malazan Empire: Keneb's (adptd) Child - Grub - Malazan Empire

Don't know if this has been brought up before, but I've found an interesting passage in HoC that relates to him...

"It was said that the captain's adopted child - who at that time was known by the unfortunate name of Grub - refused the wagon on the march. That he walked the entire way, even as, in the first week beneath the year's hottest sun, fit and hale soldiers stumbled and fell.
This is perhaps invention, for by all accounts he was at that time no more than five years of age. And the captain himself, from whose journals much of that journey and the clash in which it culminated is related in detail, writes very little of Grub, more concerned as he was with the rigours of command. As a result, of the future First Sword of the Late Empire period, scant details, beyond the legendary and probably fictitous, are known..."

[Chapter 19 - 'Lives of the Three']

Seems to suggest that Grub will become first sword of the empire at some point. But does it refer to the Malazan empire, or to some other...

Discuss...
