+Bliev Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I just have to say, Kaladin may be the only main POV in the entire cosmere whose parents (a) are *both* alive and (b) have ACTUAL NAMES. And now they are all BACK TOGETHER AGAIN in Urithiru. Lucky boy! Let's see if that lasts the entire book, shall we? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bliev Posted November 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Sorry for the double post, but... Still a Lucky Boy. Is he the only character in the entire cosmere now whose parents have survived intact and for so long? I can't think of any others... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistborn spoilers: Quote Outside chance Wax’s parents are secretly still alive. At the start of the Era 2 Wax thought his wife, uncle and sister were all dead and none of them were Speaking of, a decent number of main characters have killed their wives.

If you consider Kell to be Vin’s real dad then he has outlived her by several centuries. (Kell is 100% Vin’s dad. Blood does not make family. Vin only had one actual parent in her life; I do not count her egg and sperm donors as parents.) MeLaan’s ‘parents’ are around, if you consider the earlier Kandra gens parents. Marasi has both parents, I believe. Allik may have parents. Susebron may have both parents still; we know the GK just retires after the new one is born. We don’t know if Lightsong or Blushweaver’s parents are around. Lopen might have two. Cord did; we don’t know Rock’s fate yet. Szeth did until this book; it seems Neturo is dead now. Some of the Elantrian kids had two parents. And there were Kiin’s kids. Also his step-kids, if you count him as the father (which I totally do). There’s also Ais’ daughter. TLDR; side characters are more likely to have living parents, as are the children of main characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
