Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was thinking earlier about what we know regarding the Von Helson and Gambino families, and also what we don't know... and a few things occured to me.

1. Isle de Gambino used to be Isle de Nativ - we know that Gambino goes into the native run casino with one gold coin and comes out owning the island.
Who owned the island first?

2. Before owning the shop in Barton; Ian's family owned a shop on Isle de Nativ, but Gambino forced Ian out.
Ian's family... the blonde woman - his Mother; this would suggest that she too lived on the island BEFORE becoming involved with Gambino.

3. The picture in the manga, where the woman is holding the baby whom we presume to be Gino, shows her at a similar / same age as to when she was 'rescuing' both Ian and Louie - meaning that she'd been with Von Helson first; could the Von Helsons have owned Isle de Nativ?

4. As Ian gets older, Gambino forces him to leave his shop and go live in Barton - could this be a proximity problem? Something on the island that could influence his control? Or was he hiding the man away from the Von Helsons?

4. We know from various newsroom articles that the tension between the Gambino and Von Helson families was never really to do with business - could it be more than just taking away Vlad's 'woman' - perhaps his home as well?

5. Vlad says in the manga that she's been naughty and isn't 'one of them' any more. Could she be the very first test case for the G-Virus?

Hmmmm.... so, anyone got anything else to ponder apon - or possible answers?

mrgreen

If she is indeed the 1st case - then yes, that makes sense.
Where did the name Rosalie crop up from? Is it an official source?


Just had another musing as well.
What if Ian's "family business" on the Island was just a cover - a way for Jonny K to hide Damian from his family by giving him a back story.
After all - who would believe soft, happy go lucky brown haired Ian was the same child as Damian Von Helson?

Also - could Jonny K be Ian's father? He accepted Ian, helped him even - but went mental when Louie showed up...?
