Parentage

Chapter 13 of "Heir to the Dragon" has a line in it that possibly has strange implications, the exact quote is "Aunt Florimel and Uncle Undell, Marcus’s father, for they were of the previous generation. Having brought Marcus into existence, they were responsible for bringing treachery into the universe." Constance, Marcus's daughter refers to Florimel as Great-Aunt earlier in the book so it is likely just a mistake, or a clumsy way of saying Florimel raised Marcus (did something happen to his mother?). Certainly needs more research though.--Dmon (talk) 10:22, 25 March 2019 (EDT)

I came across this same issue in a roundabout way over on Talk:Constance Kurita. The quoted line from Heir to the Dragon doesn't actually say that Florimel is Marcus's mother, and is consistent with her being Undell's sister (and therefore Marcus's aunt.) I think it's most likely that she's not Marcus's mother, which would make the current Marcus Kurita article incorrect on his parentage. Tosta Dojen (talk) 00:07, 23 October 2020 (EDT)

I am not sure I ever got around to doing that further research BUT I do now have a copy of the House Kurita book with a family tree in the back that I didn't at the time. I shall check later today.--Dmon (talk) 07:56, 23 October 2020 (EDT)

Honestly, this character's story was confusing. He's prominent in some books, but goes unmentioned in others, where he should be referenced. ClanWolverine101 (talk) 19:25, 23 October 2020 (EDT)
