20 Is Druss related to Rek? How does Tenaka fit in? (David Gemmell)
Dale Rippke writes,
"Angel and Miriel's child was Druss's Great-grandfather (Bardan being
Angel's grandson). This child eventually married a Nadir woman and
together they traveled to Drenai. This info appeared in LEGEND OF
DEATHWALKER and was confirmed by David Gemmell in the recent
questionaire posted on this newsgroup. So apparently Druss is part
Nadir!
Regnak was descended from Senta and Miriel's son. This was foretold by
Dardalion in a conversation with Kesa Khan in the novel IN THE REALM
OF THE WOLF (WAYLANDER 2). We don't know how many generations removed
Rek was from Senta; we do know that his father's name was Argas.
So it appears that Druss and Rek are related by blood. I'm not sure as
what exactly, but I don't think you could go wrong listing them as
distant cousins.
Tenaka Khan is the great-grandson of Rek, and the grandson of Rek's
son, Orrin. Orrin's son, Hogun, married Shillat, the daughter of
Jongir Khan (who is descended from Ulric) and they produced Tenaka
Khan as their only child. I'm not so sure that you could make a strong
case of Tenaka Khan being blood relation to Druss, although they are
both descended from Miriel (and indirectly from Angel, via Senta). I
would be more inclined to list Druss as Tenaka's ancestor."
