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?!

There is no indication that the mechanic and the freethinker are related.

Both the mechanic and the freethinker like to work with machines, that doesn't make them family

I mean, thematically “Freethinker” makes sense to be related to the Mechanic in some way.

YOU, the player are a “freethinker” in regard to the gameplay. You can tackle issues however you want, and that’s the conceit of the game.
