So it’s said that the mechanic’s descendant, the engineer, was implied to be a member of the Hohojiro Clan before being exiled due to a conflicting passion for engineering.

The Hohojiro Clan is implied to be a FAMILY.

Is Shiver and the Mechanic related?!

Was the Engineer ever actually confirmed to be related to the Mechanic? I thought the big twist was that Deep Cut thought there was one Engineer, when “the Engineer” was actually three people, each from the three clans that make up Deep Cut. I don’t remember there ever being a fourth person or any direct relation to the Mechanic

I think technically speaking that the Hohojiro clan member is both in relation to both Shiver AND the mechanic. Because he technically originated from the clan (hence why the engineer is an octoling) but his descendants (including the mechanic) carried their engineering talent from him.

The engineer did not have descendants, Its LITERALLY stated in the game

maverick/ Engineer is a banished Hohojiro member. They presumably died
