I wouldn't worry so much about naming lots of relatives, as much as I would focus on creating a few key relatives that can play well into the over all plot. Here are a few concepts you could incorporate into the other family members:

-They don't all have to be evil. Some of them could be working against their father's plans for moral reasons.

-One could not even know he's related. You could create a story based around this character, who learns at the end of the story what his legacy is, and then decides which direction he wants to go.

Just a couple of thoughts I had while thinking over the Dawson dynamic.
