Ganoes Paran was newly under the Captain's commandGardens of the Moon, Chapter 1, UK MMPB p.23 but re-assigned to Adjunct Lorn's staff to aid her in the investigation into the massacre.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 1, UK MMPB p.27/30 He thought of the captain as a sour-looking, laconic man.

==In House of Chains==
The same captain was seemingly in the service of Adjunct Tavore Paran in the Malaz 14th Army. The 14th Army travelled to Aren to put down the Whirlwind rebellion and deliver retribution for the destruction of Coltaine and the Chain of Dogs. Adjunct Tavore led the army towards Raraku where the Army of the Whirlwind awaited. Rebel commander Leoman of the Flails orchestrated a number of ambush attacks on the Malazans including one attack that killed over three hundred Seti and their horses. Fist Gamet observed the Adjunct ride her horse among the bodies disturbing clouds of wasps. The grizzled old captain mounted beside him coughed and spat before muttering an apology about being reminded of another massacre. "Never mind, sir. Just an old memory, that's all."House of Chains, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.621-623
