Alright, this is a little thing, but it just blew my mind.

We know that Eugenides has several siblings. We know that at least some of them are married. Thus it stands to reason that those siblings may have children.

You guys. Somewhere in Eddis there may be a bunch of kids running around talking about their Uncle Gen and Auntie Irene.

I'm flailing here. Anyone want to draw some adorable family fanart?

Lol. Can you imagine how scared they will be of Irene?

You *never* talk about Uncle Gen and Auntie Irene... spies are everywhere! ;-)

Can you imagine the campfire tales?

Big, bad scary Irene. (Gen would laugh his head off if he knows)

How about some adorable family fanfics? :)

Somehow I imagine Gen as the kind of uncle who, under the pretense of showing you a secret tunnel (after much incessant coaxing), would end up locking you all in a closet instead, to shout for help and possibly snacks.

Bahaha I can SO see this one happening, especially since, I'm sure this nieces and/or nephews are only so much younger than him

Does anyone know any names of living siblings of Gen? :)

Stenides, his older brother from the Thief! short-story. I'm not 100% positive but I believe he's the one who makes watches.

Stenides being the watch-maker brother is correct. He's mentioned by name in The Thief (not the short story, but the novel) shortly after Sophos asks Gen about his siblings. Gen's other brother is named Temenus, who is a soldier. Temenus' name is given toward the end of The Thief, when Gen reveals that Eddis got her nose broken in a sparring match with Temenus when they were both eleven years old.

In The Queen of Attolia, Attolia remarks in passing that the title of the Thief of Eddis (assuming that Gen had given it up) could go to the "child of one of his sisters".

LOL -- the exact words are "mostly honest." And when I was reading this bit, I just assumed that thievery ran in the family.

(This is Deirdre, btw -- too lazy & tired to sign in)

Maybe we can probe a response out of MWT. Megan, are you out there? Can you tell us the names of any of Gen's sisters? Is anyone in the family considered "respectable?" :)

Here's hoping it's far enough out of the canon/main story that's she's willing to tell. *hopes*

Maybe we'll get more short stories?!

*crosses fingers*

Maybe THAT Is what MWT is knitting...and Eugenides family tapestry!


I like this idea, I think it will be my new theory.

That is my new favorite theory.

Ahem, I believe you mean, "My Uncle who is Attolis."
