Well, the Andi are a very longlived race so Nimander probably is quite old compared to "regular" people but appears young since(presumably) Tiste Andii mature more slowly.

theres a pretty strong case for it to be lady envy, who phaed claims as her mother when she talks to braven tooth on malaz island

If his parents were Lady Envy and Anomander Rake don't you think we should have seen some magery out of him? I'm not saying its impossible, but if it is I think he inherited a strange skill set.
So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.
It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

Take a look at this Draconean Family Tree.
Keep in mind that the tree may be, intentionally, flawed.

Only if he choses to use magic.

so I think he is just cautious and reserved.

that whole 'family' they got going on there is warped. don't think to hard about it or you might hear a faint refrain of banjo strings floating over the hills.

and on a serious note i thought Nimander banged Envy. Not that that necesarily exempts him from being her son. I thought all this wqas insinuated in MOI.

I think Nimander is his son, but he picked up on Rakes way of being, that over drawing your power for everything is pointless. Of course, Rake still used his pretty often. but, then again, he did fight several wars. Nimander just is the child who wasn't taught anything, wasn't taught control over his power or his soletaken form. I mean, in MOI Korlat let her emotions let her control go when she shifted after the whiskey jack incident, and Silchas Ruin in RG spoke about how it was difficult for him to maintain his rage in his draconic form. Mind you, he stated this when they came across a K'chain Ma'chelle stronghold that got seiged by dragons, but still, these two tiste andii either let their emotions go, or admitted that it was difficult to maintain control. So, he's simply a youthful tiste andii, who probably has immense power, but is scared to use it because he might lose control and wipe out people he cares about or innocent bystanders. Who knows though.

You'll see in TTH, he ain't as helpless as he seems. He just has some motivation issues.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I'm describing 'youthful' in the means of this Tisti Andii as he has not been around the block as many times as the others who floated around moonspawn and fought wars. He was dropped on drifting island and left with Rakes broken brother, who shielded them even to the end. Even if it was with his intentions initially and then with his body. He's just not battle tested and confident as the older Andii's, who have either heightened their skills through extensive experience and training.
