Talk:Alad V/@comment-71.158.175.65-20160320080820

I believe, based on what I saw in Shadow Debt and the Second Dream, that Hunhow's labelling of Alad V as Orokin is, to a degree, correct. There are no true Orokin left alive, but the Synthesis Imprints clearly indicate that after the massacre of the Orokin by the Tenno, some Orokin escaped and lived on. Although they were universally hunted, they likely wed and mixed with other peoples in the Origin System, leading to, in the end, the current Corpus (which seemed to be the Orokin term for family unit), and perhaps also some of the Tenno-allied groups. Is Alad V Orokin? No, he's Corpus, but he quite possibly has Orokin ancestry.

I think people might be flipping out a little too much simply due to a passing threat from Hunhow. Hunhow has been asleep for a long time, and his Oculysts likely have not yet fully ascertained the climate that he emerged into. They may be perceiving the genetic simalarities between the Corpus and the Orokin, and drawing the conclusion that the Corpus ARE Orokin (which, again, is partially true). Hunhow likely doesn't care enough to differentiate as well, as he probably wants all humanoid beings dead anyhow. Hunhow would probably refer to most Corpus as Orokin.
