Hm... question: Did Alexander the Great or Flavia have any children? Irl can Alexander's lineage be traced anywhere? Perhaps it's something that started with one of those two and then became an inherited trait? I'm not a fan of the idea, but it is an idea.

I can't really remember anything about how the WH reacted after her death, so I wouldn't know. I imagine it would function considerably worse, but I'm not sure if it would have a cataclismic failure. Warehouses 1 and 2 didn't, did they? Or can those not count here? Anyway, I think the Warehouse could theoretically have a terrible breakdown after a considerable length of time, but I'm thinking years, decades.

Pardon my terrible wording, but I'll try: If Irene died before Claudia was born, do we assume that there were one or more people also viable to become Caretaker between Irene's death and Claudia's birth? Or would Claudia be the only viable Caretaker candidate no matter how long it was until she was born? If we assume the latter, the Warehouse could potentially have to last long enough in the event that its current Caretaker dies in a time where the next viable candidate is not yet born. This is assuming, of course, that the Warehouse has no concept of destiny and that Caretakers only die at a time when a new successor is already available, and the Warehouse has no need to wait.

Sorry I butchered that, I'm tired and tough concepts are really hard to articulate. I'll try to clarify any questions you ask.
