I also thought that MAYBE Skinner MIGHT have had more air time in some of ICE's books that may have made this a more interesting fight. I have only read NoK, and RotCG by ICE(I love RotCG, BTW) and remember seeing a little bit of Skinner. I was hoping that perhaps he had more scene time in some of the later books as well. The potential for Skinner to be written about and/or for him to emerge as a pinnacle badass was there after RotCG, but I should jump back to the series and find out myself. Even without knowing any further Skinner timeline, I just thought there was something about having two 'lawful evil' , sword-toting badasses going at it. But Mal pretty much seals this coffin. Kallor, even though he's possibly murdered more people than any other murderer in Malazan history, is still just a cool, cold pimp mother fucker . But to be serious about him, and like others said, his character does have amazing depth beyond that of just some ruthless killer.

Still pisses me off that kallor keeps killing people I like. Was thoroughly ticked off when he one shot orfantal. If a pimp hand could reach into this fiction i would slap orfantal for dying in such a ridiculous way. I mean even EREKO put up a better fight and he was giving away freebies!
