	battle-axe mother-in-laws.

	Um, Elric of Melnibone, by Michael Moorcock, just in case somebody wants
	to look up the novels...

	He invented cannons (and gunpowder) before croaking. This may yet be
	Cerebus's means back to power.

	She is the daughter of Cirin, but is not all that cirinistic -- she
	seems to have founded the Kevilists, major opponents of the Cirinists,
	but isn't really a Kevilist herself. She has her own ideas -- she is
	a feminist, though. Also former wife of Lord Julius.
> 
> Jaka - a nightclub dancer in beduin.. once cerebus was drugged to fall in love
	Cerebus loves her too, but it's taken him a while to realise it. Jaka is
	the niece (really (he calls his 'concubines' his 'nieces')) of 
	Lord Julius.

	Actually, Fret Mac Murray (sp?) was causing problems on the home front,
	with Bran away, claiming that Cerebus was not the second coming. Thrunk
	convinced Bran that he (Bran) was mistaken, so Bran had to step down as
	leader of the Pigts.

	One of those girls is Jaka's little sister (forget her name), and another
	Theresa, who has since become a leading society lady in Iest, and is a
	major source of information for us readers (and, formerly, Weishaupt)
	about the intrigues of other people (notably Astoria).
