Brother
Like all Yeerks, Visser Three has many brothers and sisters. He is one of the rare few to have a twin, a brother named Esplin 9466 Lesser. The double six indicates they are twins. Since Visser Three is the dominant one, however, his twin gets a low-ranking host, Joe Bob Fenestre. However, Esplin 9466 Lesser uses his Yeerk knowledge to create Web Access America (a parody of America Online) and becomes a multi-billionaire. Enraged, Visser Three cuts off his twin's access to Kandrona rays. However, Esplin 9466 Lesser discovers a way to survive without Kandrona rays; he becomes a cannibal, consuming a fellow Yeerk every three days. Esplin 9466 Lesser is the centerpiece of #16 The Warning and makes a minor appearance in The Hork-Bajir Chronicles.

Famous quotes containing the word brother:
“Before I knew that I was Jewish or a girl I knew that I was a member of the working class. At a time when I had not yet grasped the significance of the fact that in my house English was a second language, or that I wore dresses while my brother wore pants, I knew—and I knew it was important to know—that Papa worked hard all day long.”
—Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)
“I was interested to see how a pioneer lived on this side of the country. His life is in some respects more adventurous than that of his brother in the West; for he contends with winter as well as the wilderness, and there is a greater interval of time at least between him and the army which is to follow. Here immigration is a tide which may ebb when it has swept away the pines; there it is not a tide, but an inundation, and roads and other improvements come steadily rushing after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Let brother help brother.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
