Brother
Like all Yeerks, Visser Three has many brothers and sisters. He is one of the rare few to have a twin, a brother named Esplin 9466 Lesser. The double six indicates they are twins. Since Visser Three is the dominant one, however, his twin gets a low-ranking host, Joe Bob Fenestre. However, Esplin 9466 Lesser uses his Yeerk knowledge to create Web Access America (a parody of America Online) and becomes a multi-billionaire. Enraged, Visser Three cuts off his twin's access to Kandrona rays. However, Esplin 9466 Lesser discovers a way to survive without Kandrona rays; he becomes a cannibal, consuming a fellow Yeerk every three days. Esplin 9466 Lesser is the centerpiece of #16 The Warning and makes a minor appearance in The Hork-Bajir Chronicles.
