Kat and Brian don't know who their parents are. I don't know if thats the same case for Hammett. I think we need some wild speculation until the eventual reveal(s)

Hammett knows his mom (a shadow person from the golden circle) doesn't know his dad.

Hammett thinks that his mom is a shadowperson from the G.C.....

Brennon probably has a mystery in his family history too.

I suggest we have a guessing competition with people not only guessing the parents but also giving some background / justification to their guesses. Does that sound like a fun game?

I agree...so Lor and Eivor are the only ones who know their parents ( and Calvera when he gets back)

Okay I'll start with Brian then. What we know about him is .....
1) He comes from a shadow that is highly Celtic based in its origin / background. 2) He married to a sorcereress who has rather interesting tastes
Now most of Amber has names based in a celtic origin so that would tie in with Brian having a parent from Amber. The land has bards and spinners of tales which very much goes with Corwin who is certainly a man who likes to spin the truth.
I get the impression that Brian is a large man though, which would put him more physically in the mould of Gerard. However Brian could have got these large genes from his mother's side.
So how about this as a theory. Before Corwin was exiled to earth, he was exiled to Ayvalos and he fell in love with a strong young bardic woman. An enchantment there encovered the memory wipe on him and Fiona who was watching him at the time subdued Corwin, killed the mother and gave the child into slavery before taking Corwin to shadow earth, well away from any possibilities of any unchantments undoing his new memory wipe. Flora as the resident of shadow earth was given the duty to watch over him.
So I'm guessing he's Corwin's whelp!

With a name like Kane you'd think of Caine but since that was a teacher and not a father I'm guessing this is co-incidence. However coming from Earth does increase the chances of Corwin for Brian.
Relevant facts for Katerina
#1 She was left on Eshanta in the care of the King (who does know her father but has never told) #2 She has half caste skin #3 She grew up in the palace as the King's adopted daughter #4 The humans on Eshanta are at war with a demon race over the occupation of the Mirror Maze #5 There were those in the Palace who were jealous / didn't think she fit in / wanted her out of the way so she had to learn to survive the politics #6 The realm is know to have Mirror writers in it, which there is called Mirrormancy. #7 The relam of the Gods is accessed through the Mirror Maze

Iirc Delwin featured early in Kat's story so that's my guess

Can I play too?
Hammett: Bleys and a female shadow-version of Bleys
Brian: Dalt and a Tir'na ghost version of Flora
Kat: Jasra and Llewella (don't ask me how)
Brennon: Moire and a triton

>Kat: Jasra and Llewella (don't ask me how)
If one of them has shapeshift then that's pretty easy to answer.
>Hammett: Bleys and a female shadow-version of Bleys
Double Bleys! Can the world take that much charisma?
>Brian: Dalt and a Tir'na ghost version of Flora
Ghost mum anyone?
>Brennon: Moire and a triton
Since he's based on the Liveship novels that doesn't seem quite right. They were trader families that connected by blood to the ships (which were dragon shells carved into boats and contained dragon memories). It would have to be an Amberite or Chaosian who loved the sea but was also noble and a bit of a wheeler-dealer. Caine maybe? I can't remember any Amberites with an affinity for Dragons though.

Bleys is so conceited that he'd only have a kid with himself.
Where a person is from doesn't necessarily define who they are. Amber pcs invent themselves.
