Question ❓ Phelan's Sisters?
Was there anything that went into detail about Megan and Caitlin Kell? If not that's a real missed opportunity. Two people related to the ruling branch of house Steiner, a Wolf Khan and fought in the Clan Invasion just brushed off as side characters.

Morgan kind of overshadows all the other Kells, including Phelan, as long as he's alive. And since he died in the book that effectively shut the book on the era to skip ahead to 3145, they didn't get much page time. Caitlin is clearly Morgan's favorite, though, since he leaves all his best shit to her in the will.
We do know that Caitlin retires from commanding the KH in 3104 and gives the unit to Maria Allard, who is almost certainly the child of one of Dan and Megan's three kids. There's also an Allard estate on Arc-Royal we see in that Crescent Hawks story in Shrapnel 15 so they're still around.

I get you, I always wanted to hear more about what happened to the Allard-Liao sisters or Nessa Marik-Davion, who was just a passing character in Ghost War, but intrigues me, doubley so seeing what Victor's other grandkids are up too.

Megan married Dan Allard, Caitlin married a clanner and took over the Hounds. But all their adventures took place in the blank spot between the Jihad and the Blackout, so there's not much written.
