To be honest, if you want to look at it from a family tree standing point, everyone is related to an Allagan somewhere in the family tree. It's whether that particular bloodline still directly exists. Each time one person breeds with another that's not of the same "bloodline", the direct bloodline weakens until it's almost nada. Usually the process for that is about 1000 years in real time, even though birth records only go back to 1200s (In the form that the church writes whom was born before it became a legal requirement, at least here in the UK).
To state that a character is of direct relation to an Allag is not impossible, it's just rare. Allagans have been out of the scene for a long time (I've actually forgotten when, so here's a flare signal for anyone who does know -whoosh-) so having a direct bond to them would require one of two things.Â
1. A short family tree. Basically people have lived very long lives and have had not too many children.
2. Incest involved. Incest of two bloodlines doesn't actually weaken it, but nor does it strengthen it. Seekers are a good example of it, they tend to breed to keep the strong miqo'te trait so that the tribe can essentially survive.Â
Will I say that this idea is "speshul snewflak"? Eh, not really. It's just a perk. Would it be a perk that would been known to this Hyur? Not instantly no, not unless every family member reminds each other that they are descendants of Allag over and over. Allag knowledge in Eorzea seems to be a bit in the air as well, excluding Garleans who wish to emulate them.
