Spoiler other starborn

(1/4) > >>

TrueMonk:
I think this is really interesting and spoilery, but have not seen anyone write about it.

(click to show/hide)"“Sure,” River said. “But I taught him. And he’s just about gotten to the end of his path.” He looked uncomfortable. “Lot of the wizards who matter are near the end. Hanging on hard.” I tilted my head at him. “Why?” “Not the right person, time, or place to tell you, starborn.” I pursed my lips. “Six hundred and sixty-six years,” I said experimentally. River’s craggy brows rose, itself a feat of superhuman strength. “Huh,” he said. “You learned some things.” “I learned that,” I said. “We pretty close to that time,” he said. “Kinda promised not to tell you anything. Sucks. Necessary. But if I was you, I’d think hard about taking my offer.”
P. 206

So does this mean that Listens to Wind is a Starborn? Who else is exactly 666 years older than Harry?

Vairelome:
One theory is that the last pass approximately syncs up with the Black Death, and that Mavra might be a Starborn that went Destroyer.

Dina:
Uh, I did not understand that, TrueMonk. Only that:
(click to show/hide)every 666 years, something really important happens, and many wizards die in the process but before that, they hang on hard. LTW is old, his time is ending, that is all.

In the forums it has been suggested that Merlin (the original one) was a starborn. After PT I am wondering if Mab was one herself. Also I was pretty sure we had a WoJ that Elaine was an starborn, but if the "window" to have an starborn was so short (a few hours) I don't believe that is the case. So perhaps he changed his mind

Smaug with OCD:
Isn't the black death attributed to Nick and Tessa in Death Masks?

ClintACK:
Proposed previous Starborns:
- ca -23: Nicodemus (Denarian)
- ca 643: Rashid (Gatekeeper)
- ca 1309: Mavra (BCV)
- ca 1975: Harry Dresden

Lots of fodder for speculation. Like did Nico take up the coin so that he could live long enough to be able to protect the world from Outsiders in between the births of starborns? Did Mavra become a vampire for similar reasons?
