Vate
At long last, the fourth Vate's identity is revealed: us?
NO YOU DUMMY, THE FOUR FUCKING VATES.
Remember back in Generation 12, "Four Vates" who saved Eabha from dying. Dorren, Lennox, Helvetius; the fourth one's unknown.
^What Infodude said.
And yes, I do assume this is the fourth vate mentioned in G12, though I wish it turned out Berched was also an alchemist and he was the fourth vate. =\ This vate's name is Professor J.
What does Vate mean irl and who's Prof J outside of Mabi, if one exists?
In Spanish, it means seer or prophet. other than that, it's probably a word devcat took and gave them the name on the spot or it just sounded awesome at the time of development.
if it matters, it also means a poet/bard in Italian o-o...though if you want to go and urbanize it...go with horrendous/hideous.
Guess it could mean seer or prophet since they did save a kid's life through a "miracle".
Heck, Alchemy can be pretty much viewed as a miracle...
Well Merlin is based on mythical mage who fought against druids (hence him BEING a druid makes no sense. . .) and Boann the Diva is named after some goddess. Professor J probably has a counterpart too but we probably won't know unless they say what the J stands for.
The only J I know is Onose Jun, a japanese rock artist who goes by "J." maybe he's going by the name J for a reason?
- sigh* Was making a joke. It's like religion, yes I'm a Christian and he;s a Christian but he's the WRONG SORT of Christian, also he has that nice house and I want it :P
EDIT: Actually I'm sure there probably was a lot of hating of the other druids there always is in religion. EDIT2:Please don't make this into a religious debate. I was trying to make a joke.
