Cosmopolitan family

The Cosmopolitan family, sometimes called the Cosmopolitan dynasty, is a Terran family. They are the descendants of the Custodian's close relatives.
The Custodian himself never married or had any biological children. He however had an adoptive son, Sagallo, and an adoptive daughter, Alaia. The Custodian did not want his name to be remembered, and so the Cosmopolitans were born. The descendants of Sagallo and Alaia are considered part of the Cosmopolitan family. The name is however not used as the name of a person itself, but a title. For example, Sagallo Abara, the Custodian's adoptive son, would be referred to as "Cosmopolitan Sagallo Abara". This is transmitted both patrilineally and matrilineally. 
The Terran Federation strictly forbids any form of nepotism. However the Cosmopolitan family has over the years been the home of many of the great scientists, admirals and explorers of the Federation. There are currently around 30000 Cosmopolitans alive. Twenty three of them are currently in the Senate. 
The name Cosmopolitan comes from a refusal of the Custodian for his name to be remembered. This was also a political move, as he wanted to showcase his affiliation not to one group but to all of humanity.
