Gullstream later joined Sergeant Thom Tissy's 12th Squad of the 8th Legion, 9th Company of the Bonehunters, along with Corporal Tulip, Ramp, Bellig Harn, Jibb, and Mudslinger. He served as Medium infantry.Reaper's Gale, Dramatis Personae, US TPB p.15 
Adjunct Tavore clashed with Empress Laseen at Malaz City and took the Bonehunters rogue, following the Tiste Edur fleet that had ravaged Sepik back to Lether.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 13, US HC p.356 Tavore invaded the Letherii Empire, burning her transport vessels on the shoreline and spreading the marines in isolated pairs of squads across thirty leagues of coast. The marines moved forward into the Letherii countryside towards Letheras, the capital, with orders to kill Edur by night and stir the occupied Letherii into rebellion. Each squad had a mage responsible for hiding their presence and confusing their enemies.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 13, US HC p.361-365 Fist Keneb followed in their wake with six squads of marines, including Tissy's 12th squad.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 13, US HC p.363-364
Once the marines began engaging with the enemy, Keneb had difficulty maintaining contact with his lead elements. Tissy told Keneb that he and the others in the squad understood his anxiety at following impossible orders under difficult conditions. The Fist called him presumptuous and told him to tell his squad to stop theorising.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 17, US HC p.500-503 
Contrary to the Adjunct's expectations, the Letherii soldiers did not use the Malazan invasion to turn against their Edur occupiers.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 14, US HC p.410Reaper's Gale, Chapter 17, US HC p.481 As the marines neared Letheras fighting became more desperate, and a large force of Edur stood between Keneb's troops and the forward marines. Thom Tissy heartened the Fist by claiming his troops were ready for a hard fight. They fought their way to a village where all the remaining squads had converged before continuing on together to the capital.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 21, US HC p.637-639 Thousands of Edur followed in their wake, pushing them towards the city where the Imperial Brigade awaited.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.673-674
Caught between the two armies near Kravos Hill, the 800 remaining MalazansReaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.745 were forced to huddle under Beak's protective spell when the Letherii mages cast a deadly ritual of Chaos upon them and the Edur. The spell was broken, but the hair of all those under Beak's protection turned white. The Edur abandoned the field after their allies' betrayal, and the shaken Imperial Brigade withdrew to meet Adjunct Tavore's more threatening main force as it disembarked from the Lether River.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.679/686-695
Keneb marched on Letheras thinking the marines deserved to be the first to enter the capital.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.778 After the marines found a hidden entrance beneath the wall, Thom Tissy's squad was among those sent to secure the city's western gate from the inside to allow the main army entrance into the city. City Garrison soldiers tried to retake the gate in bloody fighting, but Tissy's squad held on long enough for Balm's squad, and then others, to arrive.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.779/790-791 Soon the City Garrison surrendered and the city fell.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 24, US HC p.812
