Andrew: Dear Mr Zahn. My name is Andrew Lim and I am a Star Wars fan and Wookieepedian. I am also a fan of Thrawn and have read both the Thrawn Trilogy and the 2017 "Thrawn" novel. I am currently working on the Wookieepedia article on Nevil Cygni/Nightswan and have a question. Is "Nevil Cygni" Nightswan's real name or is it just another pseudonym. Was reading through the Thrawn novel and it wasn't very clear. I was wondering if you could help clarify this matter. Thank you very much for your time and cooperation. Kind regards, Andrew Lim. Timothy Zahn: It was deliberately left vague in the book, but my feeling is that it was another pseudonym (otherwise it would have been easier to track him down). You can say in the article that his true name is unknown. | |
