[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 1837329, member: 4144"] Yeats nods as Diggory begins his explanation, furrowing his brow at the mention of Ann Harrington. "Well, there's really nobody who could tell you much of anything about EIECET, save the man himself. He's the kind of fellow nearly everyone in the Dawn knows about, but one which none, to my knowledge, have ever met. "Pan... he is a schizoid entity. In fact, his nature is one reason why he was so often shown, by our Gaelic antecedents, as possessing stag's horns. The many branches of the horn represented the many facets of his character. He has been worshipped throughout history, and maybe even before that. The alchemists of Medieval times knew of him, and they believed that by understanding Pan, they could understand natural processes, and thus accomplish their transmutation, their changing lead to gold. "So, at any rate he's very much only a neutral entity. His manifestations and personalities run the gamut from benevolent protector to wild, slaughtering beast. The demeanor of Pan depends very much on the state of mind of the summoner. "Ann Harrington is known to London society as Madame Sosostris. A supposed mystic, a fortune-teller. I believe she has a [i]boat[/i] in Limehouse, of all places." [/QUOTE]
