Lancet was pretty satisfied with what he had come up with. With Espel being his first ever Heroine from the present, he had expected the Lore Attunement to be somewhat difficult.
This was because he would have to connect her seamlessly with present people and present events. But using the familial route made it much more easier because Lancet now only had to connect her with one person.
Oden Fyrebloom, aka Rattlesnake.
Hence, Oden Fyrebloom's family and past now became her own family and past. This meant Lancet didn't really have to brainstorm that much.
The whole story about the Fyreblooms dying in that fire caused by the Extinguishers to stop the Demon Break was true. It was the entire reason for Oden joining the Serpent Society. He wanted his revenge on the government.
All Lancet had to do was derive Espel's own character from there. Rather than Oden staring out into the fire on his own, his memories will now have someone there with him; his sister.
