Nok recalled for Adjunct Tavore Paran and Fist Gamet the story of how Kellanved's family had formed in Malaz City. Kellanved and Dancer had sought conquer the island from the pirate, Mock. First, they had hired Nok, Hawl, and Ameron after the trio of Napan corsairs had escaped arrest from Mock. Dujek had been a young lad who had discovered the trio's hiding place and brought them to Kellanved and Dancer's attention. 
Later, their numbers were bolstered by more Napans fleeing the Kingdom of Unta's annexation of the Napan Isles. This included Cartheron Crust, Urko Crust, and Surly. Then came Toc the Elder, Dassem Ultor, and a renegade High Sceptre of the D'rek Cult named Tayschrenn. Last came Duiker.
All helped swiftly conquer Malaz Island with minimal losses. And all likely received the benefits of living in the Deadhouse -- longevity, immunity to most diseases, and certain other things.House of Chains, Chapter 5, US SFBC p.247-248
== In Path to Ascendancy ==
There are a number of inconsistencies between Nok's recollections and the events recounted in the Path to Ascendancy series. The timeline in which Kellanved's family grew differs with regards to Duiker, Toc the Elder and Nok for example. Others such as Nedurian, Hairlock, Calot, Whiskeyjack and Nightchill are not mentioned by Nok.
