Mallick Rel

Steven Erikson: Mallick Rel. A Jhistal is both a title and a people, more the former now than the latter. We'll see more of him. (Q and A with malazanempire No 2 (2003))

'Mallick Rel, his fat, soft hands folded together and resting on his paunch, his skin the colour of oiled leather and smelling of Aren perfumes...A Jhistal priest of the Elder god of the seas, Mael...his Gedorian Falari accent...his green-dyed teeth.' (DG, UK MMPB, p.48-9)
