Kenaustin Ardenol always struck me as being constructed from a real person's name, presumably a friend of SRD. There are a few others like that, none of which are coming to mind at the moment.

No relation to Steve, quick moves and great strength notwithstanding.

I think you might be on to something there, Savor Dam. Bionics would be the only way a mere human could beat a Haruchai, after all...

Naah. Perhaps in the next book or so, a Haruchette will show up and kick the boys' tushies.

In the Gradual Interview was wrote:Lynne (aliantha): ... I'm re-reading TCTC (again) in preparation for the release of "Runes" in the fall, to refresh my memory (well, that's my cover story; I'm actually looking for all the doors you left open for the Last Chrons). My question regards the name ak-Haru Kenaustin Ardenol: Who's Ken Austin?
Ken Austin is actually the younger (although much better looking) brother of the far more famous Tex Austin.

Yeah. The name sounds cool, but still...KenAustin? Why not just BillyBob Ardenol or KenGriffey Ardenol then?

I like BillyBob...but Ardenol sounds like the successor to Sominex(TM). Maybe it's only marketed in Texas? "Hey, BillyBob! Ye rllokin' mighty spry!" "It's thet thar Ardenol I been takin'. Makes me pert as a cut-tail skink."
