I just got done reading "I, Mengsk" and was a bit curious about Chuck Horner, Arcturus' former second in command. He leaves to get married some time around prior to Arcturus' Korhal uprising IIRC, could it be that Matt Horner is his son??

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
Hmm very possible. Chuck Horner went to live on Mar Sara after his military days with Mengsk, it's possible he had a son, who later served with Raynor.

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
I'm thinking Matt Horner enlisted with the Sons of Korhal because of his fathers' (Chuck) good experience with Mengsk when they were in Dominion squadron. Then obviously went to Raynor's side soon after.
I'm just wondering if the timelines fit. Matt horner would have to have been born roughly around the same time as Valarian Mengsk; maybe a year or so off?

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
I believe the timeline does fit. Keep in mind that Valerian & Matt had to have been conceived before the Guild Wars (which Valerian was, and Chuck met a woman named Carla on leave which he married). Otherwise, since the Guild Wars were over in 2489, Matt would have to be 15 years old if he met Carla directly at the end.

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
I thought there was some reference to the elder Horner mentioning settling down and starting a family, ie siring Matt.
Aaand sold.
Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
The Forger's wake is bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
Dude, when I first saw the title I thought it was some reference to the old rhyme,
but then I remembered that was Jack Horner, not Chuck.
But now that you mention it I remember this guy from the book. The age would be about right and everything.
Holy shit they are setting up for a pretty sweet story.

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
Are the timings right? I don't think the age is right. IIRC Matt Horner is about the same age as Valerian.

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
You know what, probably not. Do we know how old Matt Horner is? I think the oldest he could be is...19. O_o

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
I hope there is no relation. I really don't want to see Starcraft go the way of so many other franchises and make every main character related and interconnected somehow.

Re: Chuck Horner and Matt Horner?
Wasn't Matt Horner in the same position of the Hyperion during SC1 era? Or did he become in charge of it simply from Raynor's take over?
Anyways, a timeline would help greatly lol.
