[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

[Alardem]

I think it was left deliberately vague whether Mandus is related to Alexander or Daniel, because both men have their own problems - why would Daniel take responsibility for Alexander's experiments? Why would Alexander be related to any humans?

I personally lean towards Alexander being Oswald's ancestor, simply because they're both evil aristocrats. Maybe Daniel, after some time in recuperation, returned to salvage whatever he could from Brennenburg? Or perhaps by 'experiments', Mandus was referring to the extraction of Vitae?
