Family
It is not known if Da'an has had a mate, or even if Taelons require mates in order to reproduce. His parentage is also unknown.
The exact number of Da'an's offspring is not known. He has 4 who, due to lack of core energy, are in a sort of comatose state (death stasis). He has at least one living adult child, Zo'or, with whom he has an antagonistic relationship. Despite this, he loves Zo'or deeply and even implicates himself in a murder that he believes Zo'or has committed. He also later shares his life-force with Zo'or, to keep his child from entering a deathlike sleep (stasis). He is willing to forgive all of Zo'or's personal transgressions, and cares deeply for Zo'or's well being.
Though they are not truly related, he shares a similar relationship with the newborn Liam Kincaid. Though he also clashes with Liam, Da'an cares for the young man, teaching and guiding him.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“Providing for one’s family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for “doing the best” for his children?”
—Eva Figes (b. 1932)
“If you understand why a monkey in a family is always mocked and harassed, you understand why monks are rejected by all—both old and young.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“If you have this enormous talent, it’s got you by the balls, it’s a demon. You can’t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn’t that nice a guy.”
—Dustin Hoffman (b. 1937)
