User blog:Mea v4/Who is Gil's father?

Still a little new here, so I'm not sure how to pose this in the "mad" section and so far, I can't find this speculation anywhere on the site. Still, I can't be the only person who's thought this so I'm gonna keep looking, but in the meantime...

Anyhoo... it seems like everyone (in the series) is assuming that the Baron is Gil's BIOLOGICAL father. Thing is, all we know is that Lars shows up after being gone a while with a kid on his back that he says is his son. We have no idea who his mother is. We have no idea of the circumstances of his birth. We do know that the Baron has gone through great pains to hide Gil's past.

Talvek discovered multiple stories about Gil's lineage (starting with [| this comic]). One involved the sausage maker incident (probably false), and one involved Petrus Teufel, leader of the Black Mist Raiders and a powerful spark himself. This second story is presumed planted as well, but my gut tells me there's a grain of truth somewhere in between these two tales.

So, let's go with the latter story being mostly true - let's assume that Lars had it out with Petrus at some point during his time when he was off the proverbial grid. Lars wins, presumably killing Petrus and leaving Petrus' son an orphan. Either paternal instinct or scientific curiosity kick in, and Lars decides to adopt Petrus' son. Considering who's kid it is, it would cause a scandal if word got out, Klaus is harboring the enemy's son, so precautions were taken. The only people who could know the truth are Petrus (who's probably dead or worse), and Lars.

I think that as far as Gil knows, Lars is his biological father. I don't see any reason for Lars to tell him otherwise.
