I don't think so.

I'd say the exceptionally tatlented boy from the main Lo Po Bia Family who joined with the Zahard family to "test" Elaine might be Ren. (did not come myself with the theory)
 * he is a contoll freak.
 * Elaine was said to be subjugated by him. (and the head of the family was said to be able to controll people, so why not some members)
 * he said he was revered as a genius.
 * He enjoys controlling Princess of Zahard (Elaine was to become one).

Karaka (like Wangan) must be somehow linked to Zahard through his ring.

Though of course all of this remains highly speculative.
