The "Three Brothers" motif lends itself somewhat to this interpretation, but most of the time I assume that Aliera was Kieron's sister. > families have particular abilities.

She wasn't an e'Kieron in her first life. She was Kieron's sister (sibling), not one of his descendants. Same with Vlad. So it's not actually an e'Kieron ability; at most a e'[insert Kieron's mother's/father's name] ability. Max Wilson -- I die! I mis-remember my friend's telephone number and dial into a hydroelectric dam's power line, electrocuting myself. My roommates mistake my flailing spasms for sign language, coincidentally describing a delicious recipe for fried tungsten with petroleum jelly. They try the recipe. All die! O, the embarassment.
