Fist Kal'il was the Malazan governor of Quon Tali.
In Return of the Crimson Guard
On the eve of the Malazan civil war, Fist Kal'il sent garrison troops to the noble estates around Tali to secure hostages. They were to be used to guarantee safe passage for Malazan troops leaving Tali after the capital was seized by a troika of Talian noble families.[1]
