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.

Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.”
