I really should do me one of these for the Savant universe. There are far too many characters out there. Some thoughts, none of which are coherent:
1. Jenny got married!
2. Penrod... how... phallic.
3. Amit Nandana... my cousin's called Amit. He has fabulous thighs. Sorry, this has nothing to do with the character -- I just like to mention my cousin's thighs (they're! fabulous!) at every given opportunity to vex him.
3b. Nandana is usually a girl's first name, so when I saw the name skimming through the novel's text I thought it was a girl. As a surname the a at the end would be dropped (Amit Nandan) but it's really just nit-picking and is fine as it is.
3c. Actually, Amit Nandana sounds sooo much better, keep it that way.
4. Marcie gets Jenny and a lover. Alyson gets two lovers. You make it sound so easy :P
5. 'Saint' Masbeth? Isn't this the surly angel who was nursing a bottle and a ciggy last I saw him?
6. Beast of the Babu... sorry, this is just funny to me. Babu in India is usually a respectful suffix for a male, sort of like Sir or Master, but in South India it is also frequently used as a term of endearment for male children. My dad still calls me Babu sometimes, and imagining some beast as being that of a baby is, well, funny.
'tis, I say.
7. Woohoo, Berengar Moran!
8. If you are having avatars, make sure you have some of the hotties like Mohini. Just don't put her in charge of distributing things!
...sorry, stupid Hindu joke.
I go now, buhbye.

I need to keep in mind that I have an expert in Indian naming conventions on hand. Though I probably would've kept it as-is anyway, just because it does sound great. One of the reasons I picked those two together out of the list I had to work from.
Easy? Well, they have all had a decade (or more) to work their various arrangements out. Plus they're a truckload of hotties. So it goes.
The Lucid Order has a very Alan Moore-like attitude, in that they picked an icon of worship they knew damn well they weren't going to confuse with the All-in-All. Plus they hold that by aknowledging the divinity in even a being as lost and broken as Masbeth, they see the hope for all of Creation. Their motto is "The Light also shines on those who choose to fall."
"Babu" is, apparently, also a name from Egyptian mythology for Osiris' firstborn. The Babu are a whole brood of monsters sired by the twins Kiera and Korwyn, Jenny's great-aunt and uncle. Their idea was to produce a more pureblooded Eldritch line through inbreeding. It worked, after a fashion.
And, oh yeah, Jenny's married. That's one of the sweetest scenes in 1KT, if I do say so myself. Now we get to see the Happily Ever After.
