(Tarquin's and Elan's interaction hasn't corresponded to the movies -- it wasn't "Elan, I am your father!" "Noooooooooo!", after all).
If anything it's the reverse, they started off on a good start while Luke started off hating Vader. Unless you want to count those few minutes where Elan thought he was just an evil general.

And his "friend" Kotor was just random. I picked sounds that sounded like an ancient Conan-type warrior to me.
And thus people will still debate about Tarquin/Tarkin.

Who am I kidding? Malack and Kotor, too.

Still, good to have some clarification from Mr. Burlew.
