Ganoes Paran: mr silver platter...captain of the bridgeburners, master of the deck, retired wihin one or two years of service (at least initially), ascendant. would be nice to see him earn something for a change.
Being Cap of the Bridge Burners is more of a kick in the balls than a boon. As for earning the position, in times of war, officers are assigned where they are needed. Not according to what they deserve.
Being Master of the Deck is likewise an unenviable position unless you are power hungry asshole. That Paran was chosen for the position of Master of the Deck suggests that he was indeed deserving of the post. As a mere mortal human I do not see how you can question the judgement of Elder Gods and an abstract power structure of cards. Similarly, we're talking about a guy who survived being chased by Hounds of Shadow, getting stabbed by a God, taken a trip through Dragnipur, a half-Soletaken stubborn asshole.
I think he was good choice.

mhybe: no need to expand i presume.
There's a lot of need to expand. Think about the role the Mhybe played in Memories of Ice? She ended up becoming the Mhybe for an entire afterworld of the T'lan Imass. She has the Beast Hold anchored within her dreams. Introducing her and letting us experience her pain helped to make her ending a poignant transformation.

silverfox: a mix of five personalities, or six...okkay lets count --tattersail, nightchill, bellurdan, mhybe's daughter, pran chole's flesh and blood imass daughter...overzealous much?
This complaint is like being angry with the child of a famous person or a person of power/politics. They can't help who their parents are.
Silverfox is not so much a person as a tool. She was specifically made to fulfill a purpose. The only personalities in her as far as we hear is Tattersail, Bellurdan and Nightchill. There is no daughter of the Mhybe or Pran Chole in her because she is a vessel. Not a human child. As far as I recall there is no mention of any other souls in her than the three she was made to house.
