The main role of clockworks had obviously been for them to fight in the wars for Valencia, but their secondary purpose was to entertain Valencians and act as their servants. They were seen as objects and treated as nothing more.

So when Gazpaccio built Kane and regarded him as family, as his own son, it was seen as strange and impractical. He was using Kane to assist him with toy-making and gain vengeance on others - there really was no need to see and treat him as something more, but Gazpaccio still welcomed and cared for him as his own flesh-and-blood regardless.

One of the influences he (unintentionally) left on Kane was this concept of relationships - as Kane viewed his own creations as his family, just like his father did with him.

#headcanons #gazpaccio #i dont share many hcs anymore so ill post these every now and then #thinking of the few instances where gazpaccio clearly had an influence on kane beyond the corruption of his vengeance #i imagine gazpaccio received lot of judgement and skepticism from others when he openly treated and regarded kane as his 'son'#kane saw this dynamic and repeated it with his own creations. he COULD'VE created the elite and regarded them as only his councils #but he doesn't. they have what surely has to be a unique situation with clockworks compared to their history in valencia #and i just think it's possible he'd gotten that from gazpaccio. how he was the first to truly treat a clockwork as something more #also i don't regard queen as kane's daughter. if i haven't made that obvious. i see her as his partner he created to share his ideals #in the image of the king and queen chess pieces #what is a king without his queen? the most powerful piece on the chessboard?#it's interesting how kane regards his relationships with clockworks. the elite all do. it's a more humane trait to them #that can only be traced back to gazpaccio #at least that's how i see it
