Must be someone else.

In "Demonsong" it states that Glaeken has red hair.

In my limited experience, I've never seen anyone of African descent with red hair.

If memory serves, both the descriptions of Glaeken from The Keep and from Reborn, as well as the other character's reactions to him, all suggest that he can pass for caucasian.

He can pass, but he's older than the break between the branches of the human species north and south of the Mediterranean. (Not that there was ever a solid break).

If you've never seen a red-headed person of african descent, you must live somewhere with few residents of african descent. Look up the term "red-headed stepchild". And red hair is not rare among the !kung and other tribes of Bushmen, though they rarely crossbreed with anybody else.

He was described as having red hair, olive skin, and blue eyes. It's the "olive skin" part that's unusual.

I resemble that remark.

Heh.

My not-quite-so-fanatacal-as-you-guys side must be showing, better slap that with a shovel and bury back where it belongs before the minions find out. Minions are scary when they find out they've been usurped by someone who just lost their part-time job at Macy's. Tehehehe. I hated that job anyway.

Don't give up, little 'Seph. Another, better job is just around the corner.

And don't worry about not coming by as often as some. We'll still adore ya (especially if you keep the faith on the Repairman Jack movie).

All I know is that when this movie comes out, we will all be blown away by it's awsomeness. And I don't care if it comes out next year or the year after, as long as i have something to look forward to.

If I'm not back in 5 minutes...


...Just wait longer.

Try 2015. Now THAT'S some serious looking forward to do. Welcome to the Repairman Jack line-party.

On the bright side is that by the time the movie comes out I'll probably have my fiance convinced that Repairman Jack is the greatest thing in the world. If it doesn't happen by 2015, I may just have to kill him and feed him to a rakosh.
