Interesting Fan Theories

babydraco1) Jack and Michelle are not the biological children of Silas and Rose, they are actually Vesper Abaddon's kids. This is based on an offhand remark Silas makes to Abaddon, when he shows him a photo and tells him that "she" is doing well. But where this theory falls apart is the fact that Jack and Michelle look like Silas's kids. I really can't believe that they're anything else, look at them. However, I could believe that Rose and William were the children of the deposed despot. Especially if we're seeing a Generation Xerox thing, with David=Silas and Jack and Michelle= William and Rose. It would certainly explain Andrew, who's just scary insane.
2) Rose will use Michelle's baby and pass it off as Jack and Lucinda's. I can totally see this. Rose may be vicious and dangerous but she's not insane like her husband. She will find a way to get her son freed while also fixing her daughter's problem (of being impregnated by a man Silas wants to kill). One of her kids needs a baby, the other one has a baby no one knows about yet, and her children are twins. It all depends on how angry she is with Jack, and how much evidence is required that Jack and Lucinda actually had sex.
3) Some of the characters are The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
William Cross is War. His company supplies arms and other related things, and therefore he believes war is good for the economy and hence, fantastic for his own wallet. He was willing to keep that war going at the cost of the lives of members of his own family. Unlike many other characters, he has no (as far as we're aware) woobifying excuse, he has just coldly assessed the situation and decided he'll make more money if people die than if they don't.
Michelle is Pestilence. Not knowingly, of course. But her original illness is the catalyst for several important events in the story, and in general, the plot repeatedly associates her with issues of physical health. Silas made his vow to God to save her. She's stumping for improvements in Gilboa's healthcare system. She is also able to remain inside a plague quarantine unit, snuggling up to a patient without getting sick.
Silas is constantly eating, cooking or talking about food- is he Famine? There's just so much food imagery associated with him.
Although the personification of Death does exist in this 'verse and we see her- is David also Death? Well, he's sort of an opposite force... Because everyone whose life he saves just ends up worse off. Every single named main character he saves comes to regret being alive. David ruins everything.
