--- Quote from: exartiem on February 27, 2018, 02:18:36 PM ---I just remembered something.  Bob is deathly terrified of Mab due to some daliances in his past.  From Bob's description of these events, it doesn't sound like Kob did them.  So the Bob personality we know might be the base one that Ettienne created.  Kemmler corrupted Etob into Kob.  Thus, when Kemmler/Justin ordered Kob to keep his secret, Kob went into the background and let Etob take over to deal with Harry.  Etob then becomes Harry's Bob.

Basically this, but there would have been Proto-Bob that existed first.  A SoI that got info he shouldn't have and realized it was going to get him killed.  So he went to the mortal world and hid, where he ran into Etienne.  He made a deal, and began modeling himself on the mortal that possessed him.  Then we had Etob, however many more (because there would seem to be a significant gap between the two, as Kemmler only had Bob for a short time of his existence), then Kob, Dob, Bob, and now Wob.

Remember, Bob is approximate 1,000 years old (circa 1,000 AD?), ran into Etienne around 1400 or so, but didn't come into Kemmler's possession until 1920 or so.

But I wouldn't attribute it automatically to a naming power of Harry's.

I'm not, i'm giving it to giving a name, a name which is attributed to the self same thing by others as an identity, a mask.
If you really think about what the woj says.. Bob from Butters is directly effected by how Butters perceives Bob, by belief of whom he perceived him to be.
I see strong indicators that Bob is nothing less than an immortal spirit(citation on immortal, inconclusive) tied to reality visa vi contract that defines his existence.... and the kicker is I can replace 'Bob is' with 'Mantles are' and still be on par with what I think. Bob is directly tied to whomever holds his skull last, is effected by them and vice versa, he uses it as his method of 'rent'. It's my belief Mantles do the same with the host directly, which is why the Sidhe whom are largely Mantles are more part of our reality than other immortals and those whom exist, like Hades, but whom have no right's to the mortal realm.
