As ''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'' states Daniel's entire family died in the Amaris Coup and that he inherited his family's titles leaves some confusion as to exactly who Micha is. Given the difference in family names, it can be presumed that Micha could be an older sister who has married into another family or that Daniel is an illegitimate son who inherited the titles as the last resort. ==References== ==References== Line 48:
