Notes

Family

Mother - Peleps Nimrya is a merchant and politician who has earned a fair degree of notoriety for radical ideas, scandalous propriety and impious utterances. The daughter of a niece of Peleps and a Cynis, Nimrya is a hard woman with blatant ambition; those who know her well believes she uses her behaviour to distract from more subtle intrigue.

Sister - Peleps Alaya adopts a more sober stance than her mother, as befits a well-respected diplomat, although she prefers Reform politics, cuts very loose in private and is very ambitious; there's no doubt that Alaya is her mother's daughter. Alaya's gentler nature has allowed her to form a bond with Manain, and the pair share a sense of humour, quiet religious beliefs, a strong sense of duty and similar tastes in music.

Brother - Peleps Afanu lacks subtlety and discretion, but makes up for it in genius. He has always held his less academically gifted brother in contempt, which turned into hatred after he received a thrashing from Manain when his little brother was only 13. Afanu has turned his attention to mercantile matters, but loudly talks about how he's going to become a Senator.
