Kim Jong-il's has named his heir, son Kim Jong-un (the third Kim Jong).  He hasn't been photographed since childhood, but he is said to "look and act just like his father."  Has the Democratic People's Republic discovered the true weapon of mass destruction, the power of le vampir?

Oh, and the indication is that Kim Jong-il's sister will be assisting in the transition, acting as some kind of "regent" while young Kim Jong-un prepares to take power in several years.  The plot thickens...

I just let slip a snort of machiavellian laughter as I read this. My roomate even poked his head out the door just to see what I was chuckling at.

But now it beggars the question, whom is the Emerald Claw?

If you've played Mercenaries, take your pick.  State run Mafia, KPA special forces.

If you don't like that answer, its North Korea.  They're already the black hats of our "campaign setting."  Incidentally I saw the picture of all the generals which had Kim Jong-un in his first official photograph.  That Kim Jong-il in the middle is a body double or cardboard cutout.  I guarantee you Kim Jong-il went into his father's crypt and a creature emerged.  It bore a shock of newly black hair, and the lean body of a young man calling itself Kim Jong-un.

add on top of all of this a series of enormous underground bunkers, which could double as tombs, and the Karrnathi analogy is complete

Well this is hardly news. The 'Eternal President' of North Korea is Kim Il-Sung, despite the fact that he died in 1994. Yes, you read that correctly, North Korea's head of state has been dead for 16 years.

DO NOT BISMIRCH OUR GLORIOUS LEADER! He is not dead. He has just transcended mortal boundaries, and is now fighting the evil Capitalists and their lackeys in another world.

If you can, I suggest trying to find the bio of Glorious Leader on the internet. Its been translated into English, and its good for a laugh, if propaganda is your thing.

Come to think of it, has anyone seen pictures of Kim Il-Sung with his "grandson" Kim Jong-Un?  Maybe this is more Karrnathi than we thought.  Maybe the Kim II was merely a blood grail while his father regained his earthly powers and is now ready to reassume power upon the end of his aunt's regency.  I mean aren't the North Koreans the ones insisting Great Leader never died?  Maybe we should believe them...
