Personally, at one time I thought that Emily might be the Outsider's daughter.

I actually have a theory for this...

It's why the Outsider was so 'angered' when Jessamine was killed. It's why he 'lost interest' in Daud. It's why he elevated Corvo to his new favorite.

And then when Deliliah dares to threaten Emily, the Outsider gets interested in Daud again when Daud is the only one capable of defeating Delilah. He even gives Daud the name Delilah as a clue.

Plus the picture Emily draws of 'Daddy' is wearing a brown shirt/coat (like the Outsider does) - although he has regular eyes instead of black ones.

It would also explain why Emily is immune to certain powers of Corvo's such as possession.

But again, it's just a theory...
