So the latest bet I have with Dio is on which current character gets to know who their parents are (who doesn't currently know their parents). I make those characters as Dio, Kat, Hammett, and Brian. I believe Eivor, Lorelei and Derek all know their parents. (Xu Liang, Brennon, Nat, Edmund and Calvera are all currently NPCs).
So parents (both is a bonus if you can get them) for
Dio Kat Brian Hammett
And which one will be the first to know.

Brian: Brand because their names start with the same letters. and Brand would be as cocky/arogant to do that.
Katerina: Bleys, as Bleys seems very willing to flirt anything except proper little Kat.
Hammett: No clue... random guess. Caine because.... i dunno
Dionisia: i like the theory of the secret child of Merlin and Coral and raised to protection till she could fend for herself. explains the lucky token part for if they had Dio with them it would be like having hte blessing of hte king of Chaos. And it would be logical why trained by Lord Suhuy
NOw for my order of finding out:
Kat first! Brian Dio last Hammett as he is not that actively seeking.

My guesses are below .....
Dio - Father is Lord Suhuy, Mother is Fiona. Lord Suhuy strikes me as a logical man, but not a loving man and I think its quite possible that Fiona and he could have had a relationship there. We know that she had another child in Chaos that's been recently revealed (Derek). I think Dio is s a plot of his and thus he's trained her to help him fulfill the destiny of the serpent. Kat - Father is Delwin, mother is Gilva Hendrake. Delwin was very interested in Kat when she came to the Hall of Mirrors and wanted her to go to him. So Kat is of major interest to him. Either she's his child or she's Sands child is where my money is, though I can only name one so I've gone with Delwin. Brian - Father is Bleys, Mother is another Celtic Goddess. Kat was given the clue that Bleys had spread his seed liberally at the Golden Sands. Its less probable that this gave rise to Kat (though it could have), but if a Celtic Goddess was to hang out there in disguise (they did that sort of thing a lot) she could get the seed of the holders to the keys of the Universe and raise a child in her homeland. Hammett - Father is Random, mother is a Shadow dweller of some power. The irony being that Hammett failed to prevent his own father's death.
I think that Brian will be the first to find out. Then possibly Kat Then Dio Finally Hammett who isn't really looking

My guesses:
Dio - Merlin. Cos he's enough of a sh*t to put his own daughter in a nunnery. Kat - Corwin, who is described as "dark" and likes to play around with new powers. He's got an association with Rebma where they do weird things with mirrors. Brian - pick a red-head. Bleys is probably my favourite, simply because of the war-like tendencies. Hammett - his love of bars and music does rather sound like Random, doesn't it?

Hammett: Random, Secondary Choice: Caine.
Why Random? I don't have a lot. Bartending....good with Trump.... Mom was Courtesan if I remember correctly.
Kat: Delwin and a Chaosian....the Hendrake makes sense. For reasons stated above
Dio: Cruel Prince Julian following the example of his Brother Benedict defeated a female leader during Patternfall on the side of Chaos. This so impressed her that she became the Mother Superior of the order who kept watchful eye on young Dio.
Seconday Choice: Dio is a Twin to Merlin
Why this CHoice? Well my dear boy its simple...if you are going to breed with Corwin for purposes that are laid out in the Merlin Saga....lord knows you don't put all your eggs in one basket. You have a back up plan.
And you put the back up in a Nunnery (which explains the interest of Lord Suhuy )
Brian:
So our GM has thrown lots of interesting clues out there.
I am currently leaning towards Brand as my Primary with Bleys as a secondary....buttttttttt Fiona saying "How do you know its not a mother." is bothering me.....Would FIona leave a kid off to be a foundling? (albeit with Mind control and false memories a lot of stuff comes into play). "Your the Fourth Red-Red of Oberon" is also a fun idea.
I rank Brand as the primary because of Brian's sense of *Abandonment* and finding his way towards a place that doesn't view Amber favorably. Jasra's Trump as well as The Mask each also point in a Brand-ish direction.
Bleys is a secondary for thematic reasons.
Of the Prince's of Amber Bleys is very much like Lugh. Brian is Thematically like Setanta if the Hound could control his temper.
I'd rank "Yes Oberon had a kid while the Reds had him imprisoned....does that surprise you?"
Fiona tossing a kid to the wolves I am putting on the back end for now.
Who finds out first:
Hammett, because he isn't looking. DIo: Because she isn't looking Kat: because she isn't looking yet (but is suspicious) and finally Brian because he is looking and the elders know it so they are going to be stingy with information

Some good guesses in here. None of them are completely correct, but a few are close!

I'll have to think about the others a bit more, but for Dio... I'm thinking Mandor and Fiona. She ends up with her daddy's hair, and her mother has a fondness of Julian...

Possibly yes... And very awkward situation

I'm of the opinion that Coy and the woman with him are Delwin's kids. Making Kat Sand's kid would mean that there's a close family relationship but yet not being brother and sister. With Kat though there's also the racial element to consider as she's half caste.

Hammett knew his mother, but she died when he was young and he was raised by his relatives in the courts of Ceridin (an ancient Golden Circle world and one of Amber's oldest and strongest allies and trading partners). He isn't too concerned who his father might be, when he first arrived in Amber as a teenager he was raised/trained by a few of the elders at different times over the years.
My guesses are that none of us will never know for sure who our parent(s) might be, or only after that parent dies in game. And even then it might not be true.

Still no reveal on any parentage or someone finding out yet... the bet continues.
