Ortega became Chimera by Dracula's power.

Man beast or not, he's still a Lycan, and Lords of Shadow makes him one too.

Cornell is also not a large bearded man with a sledgehammer is he? He also was not a member of some order of knights.

LoS Cornell is a reference in name and character type. AKA a man named Cornell who is a Lycan.

Much like Carmilla is just a vampire lady named Carmilla. The basic gists are still just fine.

Yes, obviously. Though personally I don't think the basic gits really cut it if you're going to refer to a specific character.  :-X

Not even the same comparison. Unless they both time travel.

Exactly. The basic gits are there. You have no right to criticize this perfectly valid character reference, Flame. So shut it.  >:(

Both Aeon's are men.
Something chocked me about that. The Chief in OoE is called Aeon BUT in his dialogue (in the French version in which he's still called Aeon - I haven't played the English version), he says he's called Ian. An error from Konami?

Ian is his correct name. Aeon is just a weird mistranslation.

Maybe they mistyped Cornell's name into the script of LoS. Maybe they meant to but... Ferman. Or something. And the voice actors didn't think it necessary to let MercurySteam know. And the voice director didn't wanna be assed to re-record all those lines with "Cornell" in it.

Not really because regardless of these two Aeons being some kind off reference to each other the situation is still comparable to the name only reference in LoS. Whetever the two were really supposed to share the same name is inrelevant.

And it wasn't like Crisis was joking or anything.  :-X
