WARNING: this question is about the latest novel in the Gaunt's Ghosts series by Dan Abnett. It's really hard to ask it without spoiling anything about the story arc set up in Salvation's Reach and continued through The Warmaster and The Anarch, so if you haven't read those, please stop reading here. Really heavy spoilers for The Anarch follow, though I tagged what I could.
A big reveal in The Anarch, foreshadowed in The Warmaster, is that Chaos magister Anakwanar Sek, the main villain of the current story arc, had placed two sleeper agents in the midst of the unsuspecting Tanith First regiment. These two agents turn out to be
murderous woe machines, disguised as the human-looking Yoncy and Dalin Criid, the supposedly biological children of Gol Kolea, later adopted by Captain Tona Criid.
They are activated during the events of The Anarch and go on a rampage, causing much carnage and, um, woe.
My question is: when and how were they infiltrated into the Tanith Regiment, and
were Yoncy and Dalin initially human at all, or was it a case that Gol Kolea never had any children to begin with, the whole deal a false memory implanted by Sek? And if so, how?
or was there a real switch, and if so, when did it happen? During or after Verghast and the Zoican war? And why is it important that
Gol Kolea remembers being told Yoncy was originally a boy, but then she is a girl? I read (but cannot find a reference) this was a continuity error by Dan Abnett, later acknowledged in-universe by the characters, but why does it matter? If Sek wanted to replace Yoncy with a woe machine, why change its gender? He didn't find it necessary to change Dalin's, so male-looking woe machines are feasible. So what was the point? Just a joke by Abnett acknowledging he made a mistake?
I am well aware none of this is answered in the novel series, because I've read them all. But maybe Dan Abnett has hinted at an answer in an interview, or in the Sabbat Crusade book?
