However, Jack was able to hurt him. So....could this 'ritual' be something out of the Septimus Lodge? Could that guy have been a member? Did the Ally allow Jack to hurt the guy?
I don't mind Ken's explanation, but I like to lean to the spooky side of the equation...it was the Otherness, not the Ally that allowed Jack to hurt him...the same quality about Jack that let Rasalom and Mauricio know that Jack had been touched by the Otherness (Rakosh scars/wound) was what allowed him to give that devil his due.

If memory serves, Jack's birth was 9 months following Rasalom's rebirth, so yes, it can.
berrymastiff Wrote:The Rakosh blood - the drug causes violent impulses. Could that act as the temporary trigger gene for oDNA?
Yes, which is also why Jack was able to stop himself from harming Vicks and Gia when he was mickied with Berzerk...he can suppress his ODNA and control his trigger-gene so he could also control the drug's effects, albiet with an extreme effort.
I have no insight into your other questions...and look forward to reading the answers in future works.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
