Malazan Empire: Do you think we'll see QB in Midnight Tides - Malazan Empire

as far as i know quick ben is the only person who has been in all 4 books so far, what do you think are the chances that he will be present in the new book


feel free to point out if quick ben is not the only one. i know that people like shadowthrone have probably been mentioned in every book so far, but(if memory serves), only quick ben has been in a scene and spoken in every book
