--- Quote ---Yea and the father of the previous GK was Dante Alighieri and that was wrote in... what 1300's and yet GK was around for thousands of years before that... So something is a Little Fishy over here too Black Cat guys... (click to show/hide)Course I have the answer for such craziness in the form of Epoch's/Aeon's of existence, mythological 'history' and repeating histories, but I digress...

Or Rashid wasn't the Gatekeeper when he took out Abd'Al-Hazred. Or Alighieri is older than we think because of the slow path. Or Abd'Al-Hazred lived longer than we thought after writing the Necronomicon. Or any number of other explanations.
Lots of stretches to make Gatekeeper Rashid into Nyarlathotep.
Not too big of a stretch to make him a Walker-- am avatar of an Outsider in this reality causing mischief?

Whahahaha! How deep down the rabbit hole can you go?

He's the father of the previous GK, not the GK, he'd not be in any slow path. Lot's of stetches to think he's just a walker and ignore any Rashid as Nyarla,
--- Quote ---Rashid- Means "rightly guided" in Arabic.
Nyarlahotep.... it bears the historical Egyptian suffix -hotep, meaning "peace" or "satisfaction."
...In his first appearance in "Nyarlathotep" (1920), he is described as a "tall, swarthy man" who resembles an ancient Egyptian pharaoh.
...Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. He has "a thousand" other forms, most of these reputed to be maddeningly horrific

--- Quote --- Alhazred had been kidnapped in Damascus and brought to the Nameless City, where he had earlier studied and learned some of the Necronomicon's lore. As punishment for betraying their secrets, Alhazred was tortured. Then they blinded him, severed his tongue and executed him.
--- End quote ---
Who killed him in the DF? Oh... and why was he killed in the Lore...? Whose secrets then, the people who killed him right? Mmm... Seems like he caused an imbalance telling people about the Old Gods and they sent their avatar to do gruesome things in that imbalance, as I postulated GK would do in such an imbalance.

Sorry... Just don't think that Mother Winter would allow an Outsider, or Old One to watch the Gates for Nemfected people. That's like having a fox keep an eye on the chicken coup. Also don't think of Rashid is someone who delights in pain, and suffering.

Stephen King will be targeted by the Archive.....

Your limited in your idea of MW, it's based on nothing in the book, she's not from our world either, an she's not exactly cosmically unbound to reshape reality to her will. She IS an Outsider. Your idea on Rashid is also similar to saying Santa would never hurt people cause that's not our perspective of Santa. It's in and of itself moot to the credence of the details themselves.
I mean his formation is not that hard to understand in the cyclic nature of things, take DR and have Harry darkhallow on it while containing the seething mass of monstrousities beneath his own strong will and beliefs. He would basically be Nyarlahotep, the enlightened one, the rightly guided one... The earthly soul to the spirit of the Outer Gods. His cloak as dark as night itself, blah, blah blah.
Funny thing is if i'm right we get to see this one happen in the past-future :) and then I gloat maniacally at the limitation of others and know that all this time spent alone in my enlightenment was not for naught.
