I have been trying to find the answer to theses questions and no matter how many times I combed the books, I cannot find them. Would you guys like to speculate on theses?

How did Ajihad and Angela know about Murtagh's existance? How did Ajihad know about Murtagh's scar? Why did Selena(if it was her) choose to name her second child Eragon? Who was the "thief that got only one egg?" (Eragon 225)

Care to share thoughts?

The "thief taht stole only one egg" was Jeod I believe cuz he broke into Galby's palace and "something went wrong" and they had only enough time to get teh one egg...

Yes, but the book mentions a "thief" and gives nothing else. Who could have been that thief? That "thief" was suppose to rescue all three eggs.
I am thinking it was Selena. And I am also thinking that the egg may have had some kind of spell protecting it. AND that spell was the effect of the mysterious sickness that ailed Selena. Just me and my crazy thinking...

Check it out it's on Eragon, Page 225-6, the last paragraph.

"However, something went amiss, and our thief got only one egg. For some reason he fled with it and didn't return to the Varden. When he wasn't found, Joed and I were sent to bring him and the egg back." Brom's eyes grew distant, and he spoke in a curious voice. "That was the start of one of the greatest searches in history. We raced against the Ra'zac and Morzan, last of the Forsworn and the king's finest servant.."

What confuses me is the fact that CP has used "HE" and not "SHE". Why was that?
Then CP comes and adds: "Brom's eyes grew distant, and he spoke in a curious voice." Why is that? Is he recalling Selena's part in the theft?
What do you think????

i like the theory, but there is one problem: "For some reason he fled with it and didn't return to the Varden."

LOL!!!!! IMNC, I understand the text reads HE. I am not blind to that point (at least not yet) and I know how to read.
That IS a drawback, but who knows if Brom said HE on purpose, as to not have Eragon bring up anymore questions. Remember, he had lied to Eragon previously!!!! Can you imagine if Selena turns out to be "the thief?"

To answer one question, they knew about Murtagh because there were probably wanted posters for him and agents of the Vardensaw them and told their leaders.

I really don't think Galbatorix would have placed WANTED posters for Murtagh. He was suppose to be on his side remember.

Very interesting theory but I can only answer two questions and that is with one word. How did Ajihad and Angela know about Murtagh's existance? How did Ajihad know about Murtagh's scar?
Brom. He was the founder of the varden and knew selena a morzan personally.

That's exactly where my theory is going. Ajihad had precise information. So I am assuming he was told by Brom. They were friends after all and had one common cause; fight to bring down the Empire
