@Mcclane: I'm going to react mainly to the "PS" part here, though the contrast between White's / Hoqain's soul-eating and the siblings' merger into White should address the points you raised in the main corps of your comment.

The difference between White and Baam with Thorn should be that White is the five siblings' combined form, while Baam has or, better yet, uses the Thorn. In other words, while Baam can choose when to deploy Thorn, White apparently cannot simply turn on / off a part of himself represented by one of the siblings when he wishes; this should be the key difference between the original merger of the five siblings that yielded White, and the regular soul-consumption that merely yields souls as a resource and / or power.

Note: There have been remarks about how Baam merged with the Thorn, which--unless one recalls the notion of "soul-bound" items--can easily lead people to imagine similarity to White that may or may not be there at all.
