In Dragon #349's Savage Tidings article, the commanding officer of Castle Rakin is named as Major Augustine Meravanchi. Is she intended to be related to Avner? I'm writing a side quest to the castle for the PCs to "pick up" Urol, and I decided to have a slightly drunken Augustine warn them about her "bastard brother" and his "damned horse". Whether or not the link was supposed to exist, it's too good of a side to pass up.
I'm just curious as to whether this was intentional.

Yes. The Meravanchis are all over the place in Sasserine, and are one of the more fecund families found there. Augustine's decision to get away from the city is very likely an attempt to get away from obnoxious family members (and their horses).
