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.

Xury,

His real name is Lucius; he is a Latin; he was cursed by the Great
Mother Goddess for messing up her temple during a battle; "Latro"
means both "mercenary" and "pawn" (game piece), and Lucius is
definitely both; and, in the interview words of Gene Wolfe, Lucius
has a truly magic sword--"It cuts things." <g>

But seriously, anything more specific than that, you just go ahead
and axe--er, "ask"!  Maybe a few conflicting answers can be found
around here, I'll bet.
