Not sure if it was in the first book. It's been a while since I've read them. This partly explains Jonathan's obsession with Jaime.

Spoilers!! Black Jack's obsession with Jaime is because he he reminds him so much of his (Jack's) brother - Alexander (not sure of the name). I guess Jonathan's past js more twisted than we thought.

I miss Granny Mcnabb from the book and Donas too.
