I wonder five what it might be, then...

You certainly were not right about this being easy, though. Hmm... curious. My initial idea was Manwë and Melkor, but that does not really fit in many places (especially the "five" and "alive" stuff). And of course, thinking about all sorts of people who have five others between them in their lineages... but then again, since you said it does not have to mean "five people", that sort of goes out of the way...

I'll keep thinking...
