Hi all, first post!
I'm re-reading the series for the third or 4th time (get a bit confused because I think I read RG about 10 times) and I just noticed a reference in DG to Fiddlers real name when he his giving his cover story to some tribesmen whilst pretending to be a Gral? I know the Malaz soldiers all generally lose their real names, barring a few that I can think of. I found it strange that his "original" name was referenced though and was wondering if its actually revealed anywhere and I missed it?
If anyone spotted anything that would really help me put my slightly perturbed mind at rest!
Thanks.

Hes giving his name to Kimloc but we never get it. Kimloc asks for his name Fiddler sighs and it says 'Fiddler told him the name he was born with' or something like that. its not important and no you dint miss it.

Thanks, I didn't actually think it was important, just a random wondering. It seemed strange that it was referenced thats all.

Probably....now that's funny, I seems to lost it when finding patterns to Malazan name.

In fact, now to think of it, there doesn't seem to be patterns, like you know that Suzuki is Japanese name and Thor is Skandinavian name. Here? Uru Hela might be Napan, or could be Lether, no one would object. Iskaral Pust could be Malaz or could be Tebrol, no one would mind.

Fiddler might be Tortgas Svinduss and you wouldn't protest: THAT'S NOT A MALAZAN NAME!
