If I was an investigator, Like S in the gaz series, I might well suspect that Katrina is the true dl, based on the fact that so much of both Mordenheims and Adams activities are centred around her, also despite seeming on the edge of death, she never actually dies! This is an interesting point because Mordenheim and Adam are linked into this whole mutual regeneration thing, where they can only theoretically be killed together, while Katrina (assuming she's not a messed up third wheel in the suicide pact) seems to be truly "non-dying" like many other DLs.ewancummins wrote:That's an unusual take on her.
Could be cool!
I always liked Katrina, possibly because I actually played the adventure where she was introduced. Indeed, that was part of one the first AD&D 2E campaigns, quite possibly the first, I played in.
So consider this as a possibility, what if some of the Mordenheim/Adam backstory is actually the result of Katrina's lies to/manipulation of the pair?
Did Adam really have "unnatural" feelings towards Katrina? Or was this lie an attempt to stir violent jealousy in Victor?
Maybe Adam had reason to think his feelings were reciprocated? While Victor was busy did Katrina flirt with/seduce Adam hoping to bend him to her will?
Was Katrina truly barren? With the right herbs taken in secret this might have been Katrina feeding Victor's obsession with creating life.
Did Katrina truly dote on Elise? or was the foundling merely a pawn?
Just some ideas
EDIT:
I've realised that it was Elise that Adam had "unnatural" feelings for, but still, we only really have this being reported by Katrina
