Intriguing and I would say yes. We do see how David Falkayn became Old Nich's right hand man. And by marrying his granddaughter Coya, David also became part of van Rijn's family. I THINK we see mention of Falkayn being groomed to be Old Nich's successor at Solar Spice & Liquors. And old Nick's illegitimate son Eric by Sandra Tamarin was accepted by the rest of the Tamarins as eligible to be elected Grand Duke of Hermes after Sandra died or abdicated.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
