Where is Jericho from?

I've just finally got around to reading posts on this board. Nice to meet everyone. I started reading Karen when Adam's story appeared in paperback. I've been up to date ever since; and of course, went back and caught up.

'Nuff about me. My theory about Jericho is odd, but unusual theories don't seem to bother this group, so I'll speak up. I think Jericho's name is a real clue about his identity and past.

He comments, when Mac presses, that some of his background is Pict and Basque. The Picts were probably the Proto-Celts. Some of the early Celts came to the British Isles from Continental Europe -- the early Romans knew them as Gauls.

The Basque are a very unusual group, themselves. They have a language (Euskera) unlike any other in Europe, that has different roots. They live in the Pyrenees, the mountains on the border of Spain and France. Their own legends claim they are descended from Tubal-Cain, the grandson of Noah -- yes, as in 'Noah and the Ark'.

Jericho is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, located in what is now Jordan. And don't forget, we've already met the Rom in earlier Karen books. They too, are rumored to have come from the Middle East and migrated to Mediterranean Europe. ALL of these groups have, at one time or other, traveled the same ground.

So who, or what is Jericho? I dunno. But I think he is at least half-Fae. Whatever he is, I think he is the only / last / oldest of his kind. And I think he's remained neutral for a very long time, and has been more recently drawn into this battle.

That's my 2 cent's worth for now.

[> Awesome! Fantastic! I love it. It makes a lot of sense to me. He has this 'Im damned' attitude, very very cynical (from reading the teasers). When she says - there could not have been a more primitive pairing of genes, his rely is "im sure there is somewhere.' Irony? He says, there's no one out there like me. (I'm like no other player in this game). Good work, Kells, and welcome to our little corner!! Hope you'll visit often with your 'odd' theories! --

[> Isn't it interesting that JB was always really irritated by Malluce - who probably became a vampire at age 20 and can be no more than about 40 years old now (off the top of my head). JB kept calling him the 'undead fuck' as if he resented the fact that Malluce was 'undead'. If JB is as ancient as you say, then the comment makes sense. Now I have to walk around for the next hour saying 'undead fuck' the way the reader of the audio books said it. ;-) --
