Fish

was a heavy in the 6th squad, 4th Company, 2nd Division in the Malaz 4th Army.

A former fisherman, Fish was laconic and dense, and spoke without inflection. He often had some kind of leaf-and-nut concoction jammed in one cheek.Stonewielder, Chapter 6, US HC p.317

During the Malazan civil war, Fish accompanied the Malaz 4th army to Li Heng with Empress Laseen.

Fish accompanied the Malazan Expeditionary Force to the Lands of Fist to bring the renegade Malazan 6th Army to heel. After fighting their way across Skolati, the 6th Squad was one of those chosen to take a key bridge over the Ancy River below the fortress at Three Sisters. Fish and his squad made their way into the bridge's understructure during the night before discovering it had been booby trapped with Moranth munitions. Before the saboteurs could disable the explosives they were spotted by enemy troops and forced to fight. By day's end the bridge was in Malazan hands.Stonewielder, Chapter 6, US HC p.317-330
The army eventually made its way across Rool, and the 6th Squad was one of several placed on garrison duty in Banith under Divisional Fist Rillish Jal Keth. While the rest of the army pursued Overlord Yeull 'ul Taith to Korel Island, Fist Rillish accompanied the 6th and 17th Squads on a secret mission to Thol. The combined squads invaded a network of caves in search of a fragment of the Lady defended by priests and the Stormguard. The squads were slowly whittled away and separated by cave-ins and ambushes. Fish was killed even as he pulled a Stormguard down with him.Stonewielder, Chapter 11, US HC p.558/562
