is it Eramous or Soloman? im sorry if the spelling is completely wrong im remembering the names from memory. i just cant remember which one is the one that came back and murdered his entire family.

That would be Erasmus, the kinslayer.

And still, there is a creepy chance that Erasmus IS Solomon...

WARNING SPOILER POSSIBILITY!!!

Care to elaborate on that one?

Are you referring to the first shall be last prophecy thing (or what was it again)?

I do believe there is some time travel element involved in the Haarlock mystery. Erasmus Haarlock wants to undo some terrible events that have been perpetrated by the Haarlocks to prevent other things to happen or have happened ... i.e. get his wife and daughter back.

from france

its is the colonel with the candelabre in the librairy!

I don't think Erasmus and Solomon will be the same person, but yep, there's a huge element of temporal manipulation going on - from the trap to draw out any surviving Haarlock's, to the powers of the Steel Clock. Even The Mirror is an oracular device of sorts.

In my campaign (which hasn't reached The House of Dust And Ash yet), I've been sprinkling the Haarlock Legacy themes carefully about, and using Erasmus himself in the same way that Milo Rimbaldi was used in the first couple of seasons of ALIAS. I have characters obsessed with the Legacy and its secrets, pursuing Haarlock lore and artifacts across the sector. I'm planning on having one of the PCs be an unknowing Haarlock descendant as well, I think it will tie the players in a lot more closely with the finale, when it appears.
