Threatened with execution should she enter Clan space again, Dawn became a member of [[Duncan's Demons]]. It was she who caught and killed him aboard his [[DropShip]]. Dawn returned to Clan space with the head, presenting it as proof that she had indeed killed the last Amaris. The fact that she was later reinstated as a Clan warrior and even went on to achieve a [[bloodname]] implies that the frozen head did indeed prove her claims to be true, presumably through genetic testing. This implicitly means Thurston-Moray/Stefan Amaris VII was indeed a direct descendant of Stefan Amaris. ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== {{div col|colwidth=25em}} * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Field Report 2765: Periphery]]'' * ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Jihad Conspiracies: Interstellar Players 2]]'' * ''[[The Periphery (sourcebook)|The Periphery]]'' * ''[[The Star League]]'' * ''[[Star Lord (novel)|Star Lord]]'' (novel) {{div col end}} [[Category:Noble Houses|Amaris]]
