From a quick browse of his bio, it doesn't look like he ever had children. But I'm no expert.

No one direct, but there's descendents of his cousins and what-not.

Perhaps he had a twin, but devoured it in the womb.

The only kinda-sorta descendant of any kind I can think of would be the kids of that women he was married to for 2 years. No blood relations though, obveiously, just by law.

I say look up his aunts - Lillian Clarke was one of them, I forget the other. They might have had children.
