First of all, this is Peter writing this. My computer line is out, so I’m using Kath’s computer and account. (Fixed the attribution — GH)
Second, not to go all fanboy, but I’ve been thinking about the Immortal from the recent “Angel.” I’ve developed a theory as to who he is. An individual with genuine historical roots whose personal history has transcended to the mythic. A man supposedly born in the 17th century, but claimed to have been born 300 years before that and, some claimed, was alive back at the time of Jesus. A man who, under an assumed identity, supposedly spent time in a Tibetan monestary. A man who claimed to be an alchemist, to be immortal. Who was said to have an almost magnetic personality and was irresistable to women. Some maintained that he was actually a vampire (which would certainly explain Buffy’s interest) and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has written a series of historical novels with him as her vampire protagonist.
I think the Immortal is the Comte de Saint-Germain.
