Ferrovax Identity - crazy theory

--- Quote ---I didn't think Michael was being quite that literal about 'blood of the Dragon, that old serpent' at the time he applied that insult to the Black Court, way back in GP.

insult? It was more of a curse really, and generally, you insult someone by picking at something about them. Not just random stuff. Like people calling me fat... that was quite common in school, but nobody called me stupid because without a grain of truth to it it really wouldn't effect me much now would it? Calling Uriel demon spawn for instance, wouldn't earn you no great favor, but he'd probably just look at you like you were a particularly slow monkey.

--- Quote ---But given what BG and the WOJ's about Drakul / Vlad III / the BCV's origins have revealed since GP, it's certainly interesting.

it certainly catches my interest. The key is what exactly Drakul was born from I do suppose... I'm kinda thinking he's synonymous with Mammon. Iirc he's prehumanity, so his original identity would be something very old indeed.

Insults generally depend on the intention of the giver, and the self-esteem of the recipient. Michael may or may not have intended it as an insult. Normally Michael doesn't seem the type to insult...but he does throw a bit of shade at people/beings he believed crossed the line. In his book (literally), association with Dragons and Serpents tends to be a bad thing. To say someone was of that blood would be like calling them bastard spawn. But even if he didn't intend it to be an insult as such, Mavra might well have taken it that way depending on her views. It works the other way too, even if Michael did intend it to be an insult Mavra might take it as a complement. Look at Cowl's reaction to being called a Kemmlerite - he hated it despite it perhaps being true.

I agree, Drakul has had many names and been around since the dawn of man. If he has a "true" identity I am sure it is beyond mortal understanding. I am hoping to understand his first identity and how it relates to the inhuman entity trapped in the mortal shell.

probably true enough of Blamps.

Con:
Blood of was used as a courtly insult for bastards.

My pet theory is Lucifer and Ferrovax are the same being different mantles. Course than my question turns to does Vadderung have an angelic alias or is the fact that he has Spulfire an angelic substance enough.

As for the translations arguments. I did a similar deep dive into the denarians and angels a couple years back about ancient babylonian. Jim actually did a shout out when answering a question about fan theory and said "as long as i don't have to learn ancient babylonian!". My lame claim to fame lol. Just saying deep dives into language are usually overextended at best. Spefially cause Jim says he prefers reading children section myths rather than any anthropological books. Too much freudian analyses.

Avernite:
Maybe ax just means dragon.

So Siriothr-dragon, Ferrov-dragon, Pyrov-dragon (or maybe -vax means Elder Dragon, Thrax means lame dragon)

Or it's even simpler and the couple-letters are just to make it sound cool. Ferro is otherwise just iron, Pyro fire, and Sirio either dog or the dog-star Sirius. So you could have a dragon of iron, fire, and stars. Not sure what really fits in there, because iron was often of meteoric origin in ancient times, and then iron, fire, and meteor/stars just are a nice trifecta.
