* [[LongLostRelative Long-Lost Brother]]: To Lilin. This is rarely mentioned, and if it is, it's usually by either one of them as a passing comment.

Neinheart did not beleive in the heroes and saught to trace the Empress' bloodline to raise a successor as the path to Maple World's salvation. They reconcile after ''Heroes of Maple'' when the return of the Heroes does actually save the world the way Lilin hoped it would.
