Weird birth and deathdates in 1066_scenario_characters.inc?

I was trying to help a poster regarding Duchy of Gwynedd in Wales when I noticed that a grandson of the Duke was missing in the game, even though he's in the files. When I looked more carefully I noticed that his birthdate was after 1066..

character = {
id = { type = 10 id = 6380 }
name = "Magog"
gender = male
dynasty = { type = 12 id =548 }
father = { type = 10 id = 6360 }
country = GWYN
religion = catholic
culture = Welsh
birthdate = { year = 1091 month = january day = 1 }
deathdate = { year = 1160 month = january day = 1 }
dna = "83359506349982"
attributes = {
martial = 8
diplomacy = 5
intrigue = 5
stewardship = 6
health = 8
fertility = 6
}
traits = {
chaste = yes
}
}


Is this possible to use? Is this some kind of scripted birth or just an error? Also note that he has a fixed deathdate, also later than 1066.. what does that mean? Is it WAD? A misstake?

I browsed through the file and noticed quite a number of other charactrs with late birthdates and later deathdates. WAD? Bug?

Any scenario modders, or wannabes, around to tell if this is a problem or not? Seems like it is, but I'm not certain.

In the Welsh thread I mentioned a poster claimed he'd played Gwyfedd beyond 1091 and the grandson did not appear. So it's not a way to script a birth AFAIK.

Check with one of the betas who are working heavily on the scenario files. Havard, King, and GM spring to mind. One of them would surely know.

There a few characters like that in the file. As far as I can tell they do nothing. They only become useful if the 1066 character file is carried forward intot he 1187 scenario and bridging characters added to make them reachable.
