==In Reaper's Gale==
During the initial stage of the Bonehunters' invasion of the Letherii Empire, Fist Keneb entrusted Captain Faradan Sort with keeping in communication with the individual Marine squads spread across the countryside. She chose Beak from Gripe's squad to serve as her second in this task. She said none in the squad liked the mage and would not rue his loss.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 13, UK BCA edition p.391
==Trivia==
In a 2021 interview, author Steven Erikson laughed when referring to Gripe. "I don't think [Sergeant Gripe] is mentioned ever [again], which is a shame because it's such a great name. I wish I'd gone to Sergeant Gripe a few times. I love that name."Critical Conversations 09: Beak, Emotional Vignettes in Epic Fantasy, and Reaper's Gale - A Critical Dragon - See 10:15
