Jack has the trigger gene, in all probibility, but he can control himself, which is very good for every one else. Another thought that just occerred to me is that the grandfather/great-grandfather of Dawn's child is Rasalom, and he has two eyes after all.:confused: I guess we'll find out in By The Sword.
...it is unlikely that Rasalom is the dad...one of the other characters in Reborn is more likely the culprit.
In Reborn, which takes place in 1968, R is...reborn...and therefore would be 20 years old in 88. Any kids he would have had would be only 20 this year...since the brothers were well older than that, their dad would have had to be older than Rasalom.
One of the otherness servants in Reborn that helps Rasalom be...reborn (that's so awkward), is very "in touch" with the otherness...obviously having a great deal of oDNA. He also works in a slaughterhouse. One of the brothers in Bloodline also mentions working in a slaughterhouse when he was younger. Remember there are no coincidences.
Oh...he also had one eye.
Also the brothers were born in the Southern states...which is where this particular Otherness servant went with Rasalom's mom, to protect her while she had her child...it isn't too big a stretch to imagine that they travelled around a lot to keep anyone from tracking them down and daddy-dearest did some amateur eugenics in each town they stopped in...kinda makes you wonder how many other (no pun intended) brothers from another mother are also wandering around out there.
Creepy.
I highly recommend the Adversary Cycle...I've read everything up until the current Jack novel and every one of them (Novel and story) are all well worth reading.
