Potential new identity of Mac

(1/4) > >>

Yuillegan:
Hi All,

Mac means son of. So could Mac be the son of someone important?

Also;

Now I am not saying that this invalidates any other identities, but in doing some browsing I came across this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuan_mac_Cairill

Of note, the association with St Patrick and the living multiple lives and seeing the many invasions ties in nicely with his Watcher background. How this all ties in to the Outsiders, I don't know but I suspect there is at least some connection here. It would be very Jim.

ALSO: Tuan mac Cairill is an immortal shapeshifter. His origins trace back to the Antediluvian age, making him possibly the oldest being on the island. He is perhaps one of the legendary Nephilim. Tuan was once a follower of Partholón, though as the sole survivor of the plague that slew all the Partholóin, he is regarded with great suspicion. Mostly reclusive, he charges himself as watcher of the lands, having witnessed all the invaders arrive and perish in turn.

Also - the Archive may have a link in mythology.

I'm pretty sure there is a WAG that basically has Mac as being a 'Harry' at some point, some place in time.  He was a pivotal player and got burned so he is like "I'm totally Out on this."  "I want nothing to do with this, this time around."

Maz:
Mac was called a "Watcher" by He Who Walks Before.
Mac has both claimed himself to be "out" and was stated by others to be "out".
Mab shows Mac respect.
I think Mac's identity would need a stronger tie to these things.
While it is possible, I'm pretty sure Mac, in this case, is simply short for McAnally.

peregrine:
Also, Mac has never done anything that a vanilla human couldn't do.  And I think there's WoJ that he's not a scion.  The WoJ is out there, I'm not 100% sure it's about Mac.
