In FoB, when he's done being chased by the deathless, he throws away what he's collected and it gets destroyed. Why does he suddenly choose to get rid of something so valuable?
It could be nothing, but in every book the authors seem to go out of their way to mention a man with red hair. His most notable appearance is in FoB where he furtively grabs food and Rickar thinks to himself that he doesnt want to know whats going on there, and then reappears just as Rickar is entering the fish-thing escape pod.
Now, there's no confirmation that this is a single person, but I'm just struck by this inclusion, especially as the authors dont usually make a point of describing a characters hair.
If it *is* significant, I think it can only be another swarm like thing monitoring the characters for whatever reason. I'll be intrigued to see if anything comes of it.

Starmer is finished as far as the country is concerned. He spent the last six years disassembling Labour's coalition of voters However, for reasons of convenience, cowardice, and careerism, the bulk of the PLP are reluctant to move on right now."
"Having been afforded every allowance, every excuse for past failures, having been bolstered by broad and deep media support, puffed up and promoted, received fawning notices, sympathetic readings and granted a campaign war chest of unprecedented size, Sarwar has failed the one test which really matters. He has failed in a way which someone less sentimental about themselves would immediately recognise as career- ending. The magic has not only faded but fizzled. Your reputation cannot recover. You aren't a winner. You aren't the coming man any more. You came. You saw. You lost. It's over."
