| - | Throughout his life he was known to be secretive, not only about what later was learned to be the secret of his life, the causal loop, but also about other things. When he traveled, he always traveled in secret and ensured that everyone thought he was somewhere else. He had several children, the fate of which is unknown. He told his only confirmed son, [[Kren the Younger]], that he wanted to ensure that his successor is worthy, and so he eventually chose him out of all his biological children, and that none of them know he is their father. Independent evidence exists that Kren did have several mistresses, although evidence of other children is circumstantial. | + | Throughout his life he was known to be secretive, not only about what later was learned to be the secret of his life, the causal loop, but also about other things.

| - | Kren's relationship with Maksag was probably the closest in his life. He treated Maksag as his brother and they were never known to have any disagreements. Maksag looked up to Kren as his mentor, but Kren many times voiced his deep admiration for Maksag as a powerful conqueror and leader and frequently joked that Maksag is a more authentic Oordar than me, a joke that could only be fully appreciated by those who knew that Maksag was not, in fact, his real brother. | + | Kren's relationship with Maksag was probably the closest in his life.

| Due to Kren's unique insight into the future that was uncovered after his death, Kren was thought by some of his contemporaries to be a [[superhero_warrior#legendaries|legendary]] and for a while this hypothesis was seriously considered until evidence of the causal loop was discovered. | Due to Kren's unique insight into the future that was uncovered after his death, Kren was thought by some of his contemporaries to be a [[superhero_warrior#legendaries|legendary]] and for a while this hypothesis was seriously considered until evidence of the causal loop was discovered. | ||

| - | It's not clear how much Kren understood about his own situation, but he most probably did not have enough information to completely grasp what had happened. He positioned himself as a legendary, although he seemed to distance himself from a specific religious interpretation. Instead, he positioned it as a gift of intuition and a "friendship with fate". Kren believed that he is on a mission to ensure things happen as they should, and had long conversations with others about fate and philosophy, but always in vague terms. | + | It's not clear how much Kren understood about his own situation, but he most probably did not have enough information to completely grasp what had happened.

| Many signs point to Kren not realizing that he was in a causality loop and that he instead believed himself to be an impostor of the real Kren Oordar, but an impostor who was there to ensure history happens the way he remembered it. He sometimes said that his purpose in life was "to fill the shoes of a great man who was plucked from the world". Given the fact that he did search for the Oordars in the town of Kren and found no traces of the family, he might have thought that he was sent by the Universe to restore history. | Many signs point to Kren not realizing that he was in a causality loop and that he instead believed himself to be an impostor of the real Kren Oordar, but an impostor who was there to ensure history happens the way he remembered it.

| His paranoid approach to finding a worthy heir might have been driven by the fact that he did not believe that his son would be the real Kren the Younger, so he wanted to make sure that his son would be capable of at least playing the role of one. | His paranoid approach to finding a worthy heir might have been driven by the fact that he did not believe that his son would be the real Kren the Younger, so he wanted to make sure that his son would be capable of at least playing the role of one. | ||
| - | At the same time, he pragmatically instructed Kren the Younger to remove Nilma from power at the first opportunity, whom he wanted to prevent from hurting his son. The only reason he did not suggest Nilma's death was, according to Kren himself, that Nilma was Maksag's son. Some point to this as a sign that Kren must have recognized that Nilma was his father and did not want him dead, but all other evidence points to Kren believing that they were all replacing the original Oordars. For instance, it was Kren was suggested Maksag name his son Nilma. There were also rumors that Kren actually did try to murder Nilma, but was unsuccessful. | + | At the same time, he pragmatically instructed Kren the Younger to remove Nilma from power at the first opportunity, whom he wanted to prevent from hurting his son.

| One of them is that the story might have been around, but was never recorded. There is no evidence that Kren had ever divulged his secret to anyone, not even to Maksag or his son. As Kren did not lend it any credibility, it is unlikely that any historian would have written down what sounded like a made up story. | One of them is that the story might have been around, but was never recorded.

| - | Rodare himself and most of his troops came to Tonaran in 1593 from Mantar. Therefore, all of them were far from home and none of them were likely to know Tonaran, Lyn, Kamey-Yr, Orden or any of its surroundings well, if at all. Both pairs of cities were situated near rivers, in a similar climate. The army visited Kamey-Yr for a brief period of several hours, then proceeding to Orden and came back in the dark. In other words, it is plausible that many soldiers might have no even known that something was wrong for quite some time. | + | Rodare himself and most of his troops came to Tonaran in 1593 from Mantar.

| - | Finally, Rodare's army suffered heavy losses during the battle of Tonaran, and the surviving soldiers almost immediately joined Maksag to march on Ernele and Or, and then on Qep. It is thus not clear how many people from the original army even survived to the end of the Qep campaign in 1515. Even if they were confused and told stories, it is likely there were not too many of them. | + | Finally, Rodare's army suffered heavy losses during the battle of Tonaran, and the surviving soldiers almost immediately joined Maksag to march on Ernele and Or, and then on Qep.
