Forum:Sigils with wings

It is my theory that the wings on a sigil indicate that the person is head of their house. Additionally the winged sigil on machinery or troops signifies that they belong to the leader of the house. My theory stems from Tarvek in Stormhalten. Before his father dies the sigil worn around his neck is wingless but the sigil around Aaronev's neck has wings. After Aaronev dies Tarvek's neck sigil has wings.

Additionally, Klaus has worn the wings from his very first appearance. We only see Gil wearing the wings after Klaus becomes incapacitated and Gil theoretically is the current head of the house.

Agatha is not yet head of the Hetrodyne family. As I am writing this Der Kestle has just come back to life and Agatha's status is unknown. We do know that in the time windows she has wings on her trilobyte sigil.

The problems with this theory is that Beetle does not wear the wings, nor do we ever see Bill or Barry wearing the wings.
