I was just doing my first re-read and I was wondering if you guys know who the dead soldier was that helped Kalam out?

Here's a quote about the scene of his appearance:

Quote

"A hand light as a leaf settled on Kalam's shoulder, and a voice rasped, 'Eyes forward, soldier.' He knew that voice, from more years back than he'd like to think. But that bastard's dead. Dead before Surly took the throne.' 'Granted,' and the voice continued, and Kalam knew that acid-spattered face was grinning, 'no love's lost between me and the company I'm sharing . . .again. Figured I'd seen the last of every damn one of them . . . and you. Well, never mind that. Need a way in there right? Best we mount a diversion, then. Give us fifty heartbeats . . . at least you can count those, Corporal.'

I've already read NOK so I probably just forget who this guy is.

Indeed, it is somebody who appears in NOK. His name is
