Khan had always known he was unique, and Bruno's comment further confirmed that thought. Humankind had a limited understanding of mana, but the evolved warrior was one hundred and fifty years old. Giving him a first had to be worth something.

His family name was nothing more than something picked up alongside his many achievements. He had never relied on a single source of support, either, making his confusion reasonable.
