The Vizard

[wayfriend]

Am I the only one who thought that "The Vizard" was a very, very silly name?

I did initially but then got used to it.

I still think that it's a very silly name.

Especially because it's spelled V I Z A R D but it's pronounced "Throat-Warbler Mangrove".

I'm not sure about the silliness of the name, perhaps it has a meaning that will be explained later. I think he will have more to do with the story, dead or no. The dead are showing up all the time.

I believe, like most all archaic terms SRD revives for us, that "The Vizard" is perfect- I believe it means "mask"...

Welcome to the Watch, Solvitur. (Why not go and introduce yourself in the Summonsing forum?)

In the Insequent Names thread, it was mentioned that Vizard might mean mask, or masked soldier.

That was a good thread, recommended for those interested in not only Insequent names, but just who the Insequent are that we've met.

Re: This implies that the Insequent, while long-lived, do not necessarily have 7,000-year-long lifespans; the Theomach was an exception, as the Guardian of the One Tree, probably having taken on characteristics of the Elohim he defeated.

The Vizard lived from pre-Bloodguard times to post-Sunbane times (when Jeremiah could have encountered him). That's a pretty big chucnk of time.

But Jerry with Roger and the Croyel's help could time travel. Maybe he met the Vizard that way- otherwise, he is long lived indeed! Seems like he is going to play a role yet, as someone in this thread pointed out, he has been mentioned too many times. Perhaps that was just to highlight the fact that Jerry has the power to build a box that threatens all the Elohim. I also agree that the way he died will be important to the story but gee whiz, I'm not sure he is dead. Seems straightforward enough what the Madoubt said about him but have you noticed all the fatal revenants around here! What's one more?

Interesting hypothesis... could be that if they went back in time to specifically face the Insequent, the Elohim wouldn't interfere, due to their hatred of the Insequent... yeah, this could work...
