What we are all forgeting that this was a very unfinished game. Many parts of the story were probably changed or cut to fit time constraints and other various issues. So it is possible that changes were made to piece the story back together after being forced to leave out sections. Another thing to remember is that ideas and plots are scrapped all the time in the developmental stages of a Book or game or movie. Now Andre was at one point was intended to be the first son of gywn but was scrapped. I don't recall ever hearing the reason why he was scrapped. Was he scrapped simply due to time contraints or was the concept of Andre being the first born ultimately canned for favor of another?

IMO Solaire the is the first born son. Too much of the game points to him while any contradictions are not strong enough to discount him.

Another thing that bugged me was that if Andre was intendedto be the first born son,   why are there three dead/petrified blacks smiths who like they could be his clone holding embers in different areas of the game?
