In an earlier incarnation of the novel, Felipe (originally known as Rafael), had his own chapter. When I first had the idea for Aidan to leak hints about Kirk’s dark past, I thought he might do it through Felipe/Rafael. When I decided not to give Felipe such a starring role in Book One, someone else had to be the vehicle for Aidan’s rumour mongering – a burden which fell to Etienne.
