I know what you mean about keeping track.

I first conceived the Vadyadhara as a degeneration of a cut-off group of Vanara. When you said that that wasn't possible, I re-imagined them as a convergent evolution with the same virus as the Vadyadhara. You corrected that, having Ava make them as a test for the STD.

Then after I deleted most of Anthrax's side story for not fitting in, I remade the Vadyadhara again. The concept was that after Anthrax joined the Singularity, he would use Grox and Saucerian tech to turn captured Vanara into genderless, emotionless drones with no free will, being nothing more than pawns. But Anthrax didn't know that Terrox was actually controlling him as well.

When he finds out, it's during a huge battle with the Grox. My concept was for Anthrax being sent to disable Matrukoris' defenses or something, letting the Grox attack. But when he finds out that Terrox is actually directly manipulating him, he kills himself to keep Terrox from using him, preventing Matrukoris' destruction.

The Vadyadhara and their reworked thralls of other species will play very important roles in my fictions in stories to come.

Does that help?
