#I also really like his portrait

[devilrose]

Continuing my playthrough of Sacred Echoes, the other day Lukas singlehandedly saved Alm’s team from the 30000 horseback-knights in that one level. Thank you Lukas.

I am simple and easy; I see a character in red armor, I’ll probably like them. But I also appreciate Lukas all by himself. He’s calm and steady. Very pleasant.

About the family portrait, Obi-Wan’s family and inheritance.

If you have ever visited a castle/palace, you must have noticed that portraits normally look like this:

or this:

You have noticed, right? All of them are individual. So, why then did Dooku commission a family portrait?

Dooku was born in 1924 as the oldest son and heir of the Count of Serenno title. Everyone, of course, expected him to marry and have his own heir but he got older and older, and the marriage and heir didn’t come. His younger sister did have a son, and everyone, to the annoyance of Dooku, started treating him as the future heir, as they had all lost hope of Dooku having a son of his own. Maybe he has been married for a while, but she has not been able to get pregnant. But then! Miracle! Little Qui-Gon is born when Dooku is already 41 years-old.

Qui-Gon is a bit of a wayward from the beginning, so the talk about who is going to inherit the title is finished, but other kind of talk starts. And then, Qui-Gon has Obi-Wan when he is only 20 years old, in a very scandalous way that leaves the mum out of the picture. Dooku decides that there’s enough talk about them, and takes charge of Obi-Wan’s “upbringing” (mostly private boarding schools, and trying to get him to not repeat Qui-Gon’s “mistakes”).

SO.

The family portrait.

It is basically a way for Dooku to solidify his succession line, a way of saying ‘yes, despite all your talk and your attempts to get the title I still have it, and my son and his son will be the Counts after me’.

The family tree (overly simplified) is then something like this:

(And why did Obi-Wan commission a family portrait? That’s easy, he loves Anakin and Ben too much)
