Mac's identity

--- Quote from: Ed0517 on August 24, 2021, 09:10:43 AM ---If he is Grigori, he lost his by ignoring the Watcher rules and becoming involved in the world - wine, women, and song. The Grigori are not damned to Hell - but they were told "Don't come back, you're fired". The Grace was stripped from them, not surrendered
(old TV show - "Branded" opening credits, a court-martialed Chuck Connors has his cavalry sabre taken and broken, his badges of rank ripped off, and he is sent out the gates of the stockade, and they close behind him.... something like that)

Yeah, I think that is about the closest to what he really is, I also think it is possible that he has been satisfied with his lot up until now. The coming BAT is going to force Mac to take a stand once again which may atone for his mistakes in the past. We've seen hints of that since Storm Front when he loaned his car keys to Harry so he could go and stop Victor Sells, to Battle Front when he put a smear of his blood on the back of the Placard and allowed it to be hung up in the bar.

Uriel gave his Grace away. Maybe Raphael did too, knowing it'd be a lot longer before he got it back. A.K.A. the end of the world.

Uriel loaned his Grace temporarily to Michael a Holy Knight to complete a mission, that isn't the same as giving his Grace away.

By that argument, Raph could have loaned his Grace to Merlin for a couple thousand years to complete a mission.

I believe this to be misunderstood information (I don't understand it to be honest, it's paradoxical). The Angels must have free will as we know it. They were able to revolt (and fall). Uriel was able to choose to lend his Grace to Michael knowing that there was a chance Michael would misuse it. All of the Fallen who do bad things were Angels.
I guess there could have been a change of some kind after the revolt and the angels are much more absolute (to the point of no free will) and unable to fall as long as they don't lend their grace out.
