This theory was not unfounded, clearly, his father and the God King had been working together for a very long period, and whatever happened between them that had caused such a schism would have to be an extremely abnormal event.
If his father had gained a soul it may explain the many abnormalities of this man, maybe he was no longer fighting for the resurrection of his True Body and was after something more personal.
The answer to all those questions would be in the head of his father who had gone missing after the battle at Jarkarr, the gods had been searching all over for him but to no avail. Somehow the idea of that man hiding himself with so many monumental events transpiring struck Rowan as dangerous.
If his father had truly gained a soul, then he was no longer just a Reflection, but a new form of life, in that case, Rowan would have to adjust his mindset on how to deal with him. Because if he owned a soul, it made him much weaker to Rowan's influence.
The second chapter would be a bit delayed. I'm sick and it's difficult to write with a needle stuck in my arm and a midget playing drums inside my skull.
