Another thought on Ketheric and Durge, since it's Durge-Ketheric hours now, apparently; the potential daddy issues aren't just father with issues about his kids vs kid with issues about their father.

Durge is also meant to be a parent in their role as Bhaal's vessel. They won't have the loving bond Ketheric once had with Isobel. They won't have the bond that (hopefully) their foster parents had with them. They won't be giving everything they are out of some unhealthy inability to let go - their children will be the Second Bhaalspawn Crisis. They'll be born only to die violently in Bhaal's name and strengthen him. Many of them will probably die by Durge's own hand in this apocalyptic future, and seek to kill them as well.

They're the polar opposite of parenting roles.
