Can't be. They don't have beards and Irrippi only had a mustache.

No. Goldentongue and other Issaries cults were worshipped by the Vingkotlings in the Storm Age according to Greg and the Talars are not free traders by any stretch.

The Brolians are however extremely removed from Malkioni of any sort.

Flesh Man can't be Old Man Malkion because the latter was killed when the Spike exploded, most probably in the same event mentioned in Elder Secrets p6

         As the world worsened the Mostali gathered at the Spike,
         site of the first action of the God War, to attempt their
         mightiest work - to heal the breaches that now riddled
         the universe.  At the height of their ritual, the Devil
         arrived upon the Spike.  It shattered with a clap of doom,
         and with the Mostali vanished into nothingness.

Naturally the Malkioni know this event was necessary for the regeneration of the Cosmos.
