Watsonian McAnally: the son of the chief physician.

As I said, watch marcone in the mirror mirror universe. His motivations will be entirely different, or something to that effect, it's a Woj. Marcone actually has the potential for great goodness in him, it's just not been brought to the fore in the DF timeline. Essentially I think he's aurther reborn, not to get into it too deep here. First clue came in FM, he has a chapel that was moved brick for brick into his back yard(just like his castle) and a circle of tree's for 'shady business. If you know anything about Celtic worship that's a big one, they pray in the middle of trees while wearing their armor, used to scoff at Christians and their new God who didn't even wear armor or fight his own battles lol.(aurther melded Christian myth with Celtic lore FYI)
@EG I prefer to think of Harry as the choosing one instead lol. It's possible, because most of Harry is the chosen one is perception, that Harry won't be the central hero, for the end at all, but more akin to the immenence Gris, the power behind the hero. He certainly managed to do a number on butters. Impact will and the alpha's, Molly, Murphy, and indirectly but to an even greater degree, Thomas. Mmm pure WAG but what if (click to show/hide)Watching Harry fight the good fight for no other reason than it should be done gives Mac the push needed to get back in the game?

How is prayer equivalent to crime?

Harry is identified with Sam and Gandalf, as well as knights in general. All have 'support' roles, protecting and/or inspiring the people they serve.
That is one reason why I like his assumption of the Mantle: he was always Molly's knight, even though he wasn't the paladin she idealized him as. In that respect, little changed.

how indeed... Killing people inside the circle could be considered an offering on hallowed ground, for instance. But in general the celts were very warrior/cleric types. And of course marcone is a true hunter in spirit, oh and as nicodemus said, he would have made a good monarch just a few short centuries ago.

80% of Celts were corn farmers. (http://resourcesforhistory.com/Celtic_Farming_in_Britain.htm)

Ok, now go look at their warrior kings and actual you know, believers. Not every warrior race was the Spartans. What they believed and why they believed it, how they chose to worship..
I couldn't resist this one
--- Quote ---The Celts made votive offerings to their deities, which were buried in the earth or thrown into rivers or bogs. According to Barry Cunliffe, in most cases, deposits were placed in the same places on numerous occasions, indicating continual usage "over a period of time, perhaps on a seasonal basis or when a particular event, past or pending, demanded a propitiatory response."[35] In particular, there was a trend to offer items associated with warfare in watery areas, evidence for which is found not only in the Celtic regions, but also in Late Bronze Age (and therefore pre-Celtic)

so taking a body and the weapon to the same spot repeatedly is worship ;)
--- Quote ---However, according to Greco-Roman accounts of the druids and other Celts, worship was held in groves, with Tacitus describing how his men cut down "groves sacred to savage rites."

savage rites indeed a shotgun blast can be.
