The curse on MacFinn

(1/14) > >>

Paviel:
Chauncy said in "Fool Moon" that according to legend, St. Patrick cursed the MacFinn bloodline to become loup-garou, passing from generation to generation, and that the cursed bloodline would last until the end of days.

In light of this, I see four possibilities:

1. Chauncy was lying.
2. The legend was inaccurate.
3. The end of days had already arrived as of the end of "Fool Moon", ending the curse on the MacFinn bloodline.
4. Harley MacFinn's death did not make his bloodline extinct; he had at least one younger relative, who inherited the curse.

There's been some speculation that Fitz is MacFinn's son, based mostly on him physically resembling him or Tera West (the eyes, if I'm not mistaken), the name "Fitz" meaning "bastard," and WOJ that he was aware of this when he picked the name.

There's not a lot of information to go on, but for my part, there are a few questions that the possibility brings up that would need addressing, mainly why either MacFinn or Tera would apparently abandon their son.

RobReece:
It's possible that he's MacFinn's son by someone other than Tera West and/or that the mother kept knowledge of his son from him, but we've already gone down that road in this series, so I don't know that Jim would want to use it again...

Griffyn612:
Also, the age is wrong.
Fool Moon, October, 0ASF
Ghost Story, May, 12ASF - Fitz: "He couldn’t have been seventeen, but his eyes were decades older."

To me, there's a huge difference between 11/12 and 15/16, growth-wise.  If Fitz were closer to 12, Harry would have made that observation.

For Fitz to be MacFinn and Terra's kid, he either spent a few years in the never-never to age more than temporally appropriate, or he was born prior to FM.

Unlikely, considering how he reacts to Harry and Aristedes; he reacts more like someone who has little to no experience with the supernatural, which doesn't square with someone who was raised in part in the Nevernever.

Which brings up the question of why he wouldn't have been with his parents. Both of them know about the werewolf curse, meaning if they put the kid up for adoption, they know they're basically sending someone a time-bomb. Given the precautions we saw MacFinn take on himself, and Tera's general personality, that seems out of character for the both of them.
