Vlad and Cawti have a son, Vlad Norathar, mentioned #briefly at the end of _Orca_. Vlad doesn't know that. I think she said she doesn't have one *any more*. And her established status as Brigitte's (from _Brokedown Palace_) daughter was recently discussed here, though I don't remember the subject line of the thread, and we don't have a search engine for the archive, do we? #Kieron had a brother, Dolavin, and a sister who was a Shaman and Dolivar. #Sethra's servant Tukko addresses her as "young one" and she #addresses him by something for which "Tukko" may be a nickname, #which I'll bet a dot to an orb means something like "tutelary #genius of Dzur Mountain". In _Taltos_ Sethra has a servant named #Chaz. Look at that vocative again; "Chaz" is another nickname for it. (I'm AFB so I can't look it up and quote it to you.) -- Mark A.
