Ah yes indeed, Harvey Smith talked about that in this post.

A flashback of Corvo serving in the Grand Serkonos Guard would be interesting (and justify that he can be played at all in the sequel), but I'm not sure if Daud's early days on this isle would serve any purpose, unless used in a DLC side story. Still I'd love that, in the absence of Corvo, Emily is trained by a retired Daud who is spending his last years in Karnaca.
