There are <em>Dynasties</em>. There is only ever one Trader, they may employ and empower others to act in their name, but ultimately there is only one Warrant of Trade and one Holder of that Warrant who holds of the title of Rogue Trader. Andy's character may have been a ways down the line of inheritance, and his elders may have all bit it.<br/><br/>...He may even have had nothing to do with that.  ;)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Don't forget the Heir. They don't have any power beyond what the Trader delegates to them, but since they'll inherit all of that power, they are the second-most important person in the dynasty. And just like nobility of old, having an heir is a Really Important Thing, since dying without a line of inheritance can shred the dynasty into internal civil warfare and/or cause it to collapse entirely. Tristain wasn't trained or prepared to take the mantle of the Trader, so there must have been at least one Heir Primus between him and the Warrant-Holder, but both/all of those died together or in quick succession.<br/><br/>So, now I'm really kind of wanting our first sandbox adventure after Rain to be a comedic search to find Tristian a suitable wife, and guarantee continuation of the Dynasty. So much hijinx potential.<br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Its very likely we are seen as both by different Inquisitors.  :P<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Undoubtedly, but it's still something to consider - and having that notoriety (however it makes us viewed), is another mine for potential rivalries and plots. While Tia's happenstance rescue by the<em> Pride</em>was luck, there had to be a good reason - like tradition/precedence - for the<em>Pride</em>and her Captain to be doing the rescuing and/or accepting Tia as a crew member afterwards. Similarly, I personally think it'd be more interesting for Nathi to have selected the Pride on the grounds that it was known to be relatively tolerant as far as monkey-ships went, reducing one pointless complication to her life.
