Bringin' it back to Wolfe by the long road

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Ok. Latro is a god as man, neither wholly human nor
wholly divine, as he is posessed by Ares in Soldier of
Arete. He also dies and returns to life in Soldier of
Sidon. Which is something I've been meaning to bring
up. I think it was pretty clever of Wolfe to admit
that Latro has multiple personalities in him then
muddy it up with Egyptian religion by saying the soul
is divided into 8 parts.
