I don't have Reaper's gale yet, and I presume that it should be delivered to me when the publishers send it out to the warehouses etc. so the chances are unlikely, but still possible.

My two cents worth;
I like the idea that Toc the Elder is Fisher Kel (Tath??). Has this been mentioned before? Duiker said that the emperor described the Elder as a soldier with a brain, while his son seems to enjoy poetry (Lay of O'onas Toolan, The Bridgeburners), so perhaps his father did/does too. Both of these traits seem to suit Fisher.
Not sure, but I don't recall ever seeing a birth for Fisher when someone qoutes his writings. Could this be due to his having never existed until TOCtE disappearance

Over the years, I've come to think that Toc E's role was to connect Toc Y with the Malazan establishment, along with Duiker, who was educated along with Toc Y. Background info for two main characters in both DG and MoI, and no more...
With this story already in book seven now, I doubt we will see him. And I think saying Toc E is Squint subtracts from the drama of a common highly skilled archer realizing he has to kill Coltaine and live with it. A commander in Toc E's class wouldn't have had such suffering after shooting. I see no reason why Toc E HAS to show up. The arguments why he should sound a little like the Demandred discussions in WoT forums...
