Isobel, whose brother he was, had heard the joke before.

---------
1. Is "whose brother he was" from the following?
he was Isobel's brother
→he was whose brother
→whose brother he was
2. "Isobel" is a feminine given name, so "whose brother he was" means that "he" is her (Isobel's) brother. Am I right?
