Could Granny Bacon and Minthor Antioch be related?



As many of you know, Granny Bacon and Minthor Antioch are two characters from Shadow of Israphel. Granny Bacon first appeared in Minecraft - "Shadow of Israphel" Part 3: I DEMAND YOUR FINEST BACON!, and has most recently appeared in Minecraft - "Shadow of Israphel" Part 36: The Last Letter, while Minthor Antioch has only appeared in flashbacks; she has never been encountered by our heroes.

They could be related, as pictures of their younger selves show them to be extremely similar looking, both having long red hair and blue eyes.

Further evidence to support this is that Granny Bacon went adventuring with Verigan Antioch and his son Karpath, Minthor's husband. She would have to be a close friend of Verigan and Karpath to go adventuring with them, suggesting she could be related to them.

Further evidence is the fact that Karpath left his children, Verigan II and Isabel, in the care of Granny Bacon. This could further indicate she is related, although Karpath could have simply left them with her because she went adventuring with him previously.

If they are sisters, perhaps Bacon was their surname. Before Minthor married Karpath, she could have been called Minthor Bacon. This would suggest Granny is not Granny's first name, but perhaps more of a nickname/title.
