[quote=EyeDeKay;5937]We know what color Rupert was, he showed up when Talarius looked at him in his tent. [/quote]Yeah, this is an point in favor that Dispater is in deep cover and fooling the mirror.
Or is an newborn phoenix recyled god only at the power level of an greater demon?Eh, but we have scenes where Rupert thought to himself. He truly considers himself a half-demon unless he somehow removed his memories for whatever reason.
He is a “half demon” or so he believes.
If he is Dis Pater, he’s also phoenixed.
What Phaestus does not say in this book is that Orcus’ son “just appeared” after Orcus Phoenix Cycled a previous time (probably the last time)
I could make that clearer by saying at that if it makes things more intriguing.
They actually are related, but it’s not as simple as Rupert believes. As we know from Reggie, the demon that fathered Rupert does not have to be the actual father. Not saying that the demon was an incubus, but it could have been.

If Rupert has a built-in directive for becoming a wizard and summoning Orcus, it does change my view of the Orcus character.What if Orcus accidentally messed up once during a Pheonix Cycle and split into 2 beings, Orcus and Dis Pater. That would explain why they look identical their demon forms.

For better or worse?

[-( Not gonna say….

Maybe it’s a hedge against people trying to permanently kill him; every time someone seriously tries, there’s one more copy of him running around making life difficult for the kind of beings who’d try to permanently kill him in the first place?

It depends. The Smiths and his half-siblings believed him to be sufficiently paranoid and crafty.If he was controlling Dis: worse, if it was a mutually beneficial deal: better. Let’s say Orcus had a reason to believe that he’d be rezzed on a low-mana plane, and would need someone to summon him to Astlan…
In which case dragging Dis with him to Etterdam (assuming he did) would be an extremely stupid thing to do if he’s your Disaster Recovery Demon (DRD)
