The truth about Fitz
Arkham8:
Red hair.
Can hear the dead.
Very tall.
Scrawny, but still a teenager.
Probably a bastard child.
Therefore...the child of Gard and Hendricks.
I don't know about the Loup-Garou theory...wouldn't he have exhibited symptoms? Especially if Momma was a wolf and Daddy was a...well...
Bones:
Sounds good to me.
I can't remember how old Fitz is, but I do think a curse like that would be more effective if it had an age attached as the trigger.
I also have an issue with Tera West abandoning him, though. She doesn't seem the type. But we have no idea what's been going on with her all these years. She may have been injured or something. Maybe MacFinn sent him away and whoever was caring for him lost him somehow. Or maybe he ate his caretakers and ended up in Chicago. There are possibilities, I suppose.
Good spec. :)

IIRC, MacFinn said his curse kicked in while he was fighting in Vietnam.
Paladino:
Yes, but he never said if it was relevant with his age, or if that was the moment his father died...
But it open one more theory that the first transformation is related with emotions of risk to ones life....
Well at least Jim has a lot of options..

--- Quote ---I am not completely happy with Tera West angle.....why would the woman who cared for the alphas leave her own son?? But, I do agree that Tera West is the only one that fits the appearance....and from the given info no other conclusion can be drawn. Perhaps the Alphas were a sort of substitute for her "lost son"??

In the wild, wolves leave their mothers at around 2 years of age. If Fitz is a wolf/Loup Garou-Human hybrid, that number may extend a few years since humans mature slower than wolves. This would keep the idea that Tera West was pregnant with MacFinn's child when Fool Moon happened in the relative timeline that we have here. It would be perfectly normal for Fitz to have been born to Tera as a hybrid, to have lived with her for a few years and then to have set off on his own to establish his own pack and start a family, or perhaps he was cast out by Tera because his Loup Garou nature made him a danger to her and the rest of her pack. He would have been ill-prepared for life in a city and would have sought the protection of a pack of sorts, which Baldy sort of provided. Also, since wolves typically support their pack-mates and only fight amongst themselves for alpha-male dominance, his actions toward Zero and the others are consistent.
His travel to Chicago makes a kind of sense in a couple ways also. He may have known who his father was through Tera, or he may have some pull toward where his father established his "den". Either that, or he has some sort of pull toward the individual who killed his father, Harry.
Finally, as we have seen with Uriel in the past, he likes to set op events to have oblique downstream effects. Bringing Harry's soul back so that he can 'find his killer" may have been just the mechanism for Uriel to save Fitz from being killed by Baldy, and thus starting along the path toward redemption - first for choosing the "light path" and perhaps eventually winding up as Amoracchius's weilder as some sort of penance to finally break the family curse...

Interesting idea, but this doesn't work for me since neither Hendricks or Gard have amber eyes or look even vaguely American Indian.

If true, then this would indicate that the curse kicks in around adulthood - 18 or so
