[CD spoilers] Cowl = Simon reference thread
Mortax:
Yep, no backstory. Like Butters. And the Archive. Who is now the head of the Oblivion War. :)
Just because he didn't initially plan on Simon/Cowl being as important doesn't mean it didn't evolve into something else. This is assuming the two are the same. While I like the theory, I don't think it's conclusive.
Though Klause the Toymaker as Cowl would make me laugh my brain out of my nose.
wizard nelson:
i had this crazy idea because of how DR was made. what if in order for the outsiders to penetrate reality they have to do it in multiple realities at once?(sorta) they can't outright take the DV because of 5(or 5 billion :o) closely related paralleled worlds/timelines must be busted open at once and cowl is in fact an alternate harry in which justin raised him to be the outsider general he meant him to be. (kimori= elaine or molly) and after blowing the lock in his own dimension he moved on to the next one because the theoretical door doesn't open just because you break one lock/gate. also theoretically when merlin created DR he created alternate parallels because of the time travel involved.
anyone read the merlin conspiracy? DR is starting to remind me of romanov's island in the time travel gimmick.
all crazy, crazy WAG i know...
madness:
The 'Cowl and Kumori as future Harry and Molly' has been a popular theory in the past though it makes even less sense now.
Cowl as an alternate dimension Harry could probably be made to check off every box needed though now that I think about it.
I don't particularly like the theory but it could be possible I guess. The height would be an issue. The experience level could be explained away by alternate Harry being from a more advanced point in time in his own universe (basically an older and more battle scarred version). Cowl's interest in how Harry stacks up could be explained away as alterna-Harry wanting to see how sissy Harry (didn't get turned to the darkside or have nearly as dark or violent of a history) stacks up.

Me too; that's also where I stand on Petrovich as Cowl. Mostly I think Cowl is just Cowl - his identity won't matter as much as how he got the way he is, and how much of his road Harry will eventually have to walk.
