Foreigner

Foreigner was a regular at Coop's Hanged Man Inn in Malaz City. Foreigner was not his given name, but merely the name the other regulars knew him by. He was a huge man with massive hands and wrists scarred and puckered with weals. He rarely met anyone's eyes when speaking with them.The Bonehunters, Chapter 17, US SFBC p.677-679
He spoke Malazan with an accent that even the worldly Banaschar did not recognise.
==In The Bonehunters==
Banaschar often shared a table with Foreigner at the inn, intrigued by the man's mysterious background. He refrained from prying too deeply but learned that Foreigner was not troubled by a lost love, was not unfamiliar with drowning, and had been waiting years for something. Foreigner enjoyed sitting with Banaschar and Braven Tooth listening to them argue with each other. He was also friendly with Mudslinger and Gentur.The Bonehunters, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.861
When Nimander Golit and his band of Tiste Andii castaways visited the bar, Foreigner decided he could not sit with his usual friends while the Andii were there. With a tremor of fear, he realised he needed to make an important decision upon which rode his destiny.The Bonehunters, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.826 
On the night that Adjunct Tavore Paran arrived in Malaz City with her 14th Army to meet with Empress Laseen, she sent Bottle into the city searching for Foreigner. He carried only a doll in Foreigner's likeness that T'amber helped him construct to identify him. The doll had a sliver of iron in its gut that caused constant pain. Its eyes were marked by pain and its forearms were seamed with scars.The Bonehunters, Chapter 22, US SFBC p.855 
The mage went to Agayla who told him she would help him "save the world" and directed him to the Hanged Man Inn.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.887-888 The doll's arm twitched in Foreigner's presence and Bottle delivered the message, "Your long wait is at an end." When Bottle explained they had to leave quickly, Foreigner left to gather his things.The Bonehunters, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.922-923
