Cooking seems to be one of her biggest themes with the hair utensils and she seems quite upset when the girls do not enjoy the black pudding. Susan outright asks "Where did you get the blood for this pudding?".
Much like Javert, Emile is very justice driven. The details of the over-arching plot are not apparent yet but by the time the details are brought to light Emile will be forced to confront his sense of morality and justice. If the villain's plot is to circumvent the binding, for example, he may find himself agreeing with them even though he cannot abide by the steps taken to reach that goal. Death may be the only ending available to him.
Futher evidence of this theory in the strip: When the instructor is expalining how not learning their morales ends badly for lineage-children, Emile just yawns. This shows he's not interested in learning his morale, and is probably going to repeat his sire's mistakes.
Obvious guess would be that he is descended from the Man in the Iron Mask (Marchioly) from either The Vicomte de Bragelonne or popular belief of true life events. However because the iron masked man is a historic figure of which a world of fiction was build around (mostly the popular idea that he was the king's brother), knowing who his Sire was would do little to help either the audience or the character himself understand his story.
- Jossed. Life's sire is the Phantom of the Opera
Considering the number of possible descendants a Sire or Dam could have, it stands to reason that more then one (or one pair) of a single Sire's descendants could "activate" in the Binding at the same time. Thus exploring multiple variations on a character's concept. Emile represents a descendent of Javert who is favoring the more noble side of the character. Another possible descendent could favor Javert's more implacable Knight Templar side. And per the Second Rule, descendents of a same Sire would be drawn to each other as dark reflections of one another.
- Partially confirmed. Not only do we have two lineage children from the Phantom of the Opera, it's referenced that all the women in Canta's family receive a blessing from dam. However, the part about dark reflections is jossed due to the whole Canta thing.
- Chapter 16 shows that Frederik has the same manipulative, borderline obsessive compulsive tendencies that Leif's ancestor had as the villain. It would be an appropriate meta-moral to all aesops in general; if you think you're incapable of villainy "because you're a descendant of heroes and kings" and of some perfect high caste whose every action leads to goodness because they're good, take a good look at the unprovoked harm you're causing to the supposed villains, then realize that your ancestor lives in the same book as their 'nemesis'. Every aesop related to you applies to you.
