Rhaast calls Aatrox his brother in their special interactions and it reminded me of Tahm Kench's special interactions, where starngely he calls Aatrox his brother too. What could that mean? Could Tahm be a darkin? I

He most likely isn't as all the Darkin are bound to weapons, and I don't think Tahm kench's hat fits that description.

I am guessing he uses the term "brother" more out of a sense of kinship rather than literally being kin. Tahm is a very old long lived demon who devours those around him. Aatrox is a Darkin, which are pretty similar to Demons, and would probably be considered the same by much of the world, who has been around for around as long as Tahm and is considered a demon of war.

It makes sense that they would know each other and be more likely to be on neutral to positive terms rather than being enemies.

Tahm Kench uses "brother" as a term of affection or just a general term of address for a male fellow, much like some people may call an old man "Gramps" or how the Japanese use the term for "grandmother" to address old women in general. Kench doesn't use brother in it's literal sense like Rhaast uses it when addressing Aatrox. Tahm's use of words is reflective of the dialect of the are of the US that his trope originates from.

WAAARGHbobo already confirmed that Tahm Kench is not a darkin.
