Re: The Lord of the Earth - Dirk B.
SPOILER ALERT: Just so I can stop dancing around this topic, Connor's soul is that of Adam, and his companion is the glorified form of Eve.
I'd love to place Eve into Connor's inner circle, there to watch over him and to simultaneously work against the Unholy Trinity while pretending to be part of the conspiracy all along. That would give her a great role. She could wear a Mission Impossible-style mask that looks like Dr. Lombardi for the decade+ that she's known De Rosa and been part of his conspiracy; she'd also have to disguise her voice, but she's had a few thousand years to practice that. The reason Satan doesn't recognize he's dealing with a glorified individual in a mask is because Eve/Lombardi is able to hide the glorified element of herself using limited powers Eve received when she was glorified. Sort of like Emperor Palpatine was able to stand before Jedi and hide his true nature.
Since Satan told Romano at the end of book one that God's minions were forbidden from interfering as part of the rules agreed to between God and Satan, I'll need to figure out an exception for her that doesn't break the rules.
1. If Jesus left his glorified body behind to become a man, then perhaps so can Eve. In Philippians 2:7 it says that He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave. Angles can look like regular people. So, why not Eve? In fact, Satan might say "That really looks like Eve but there's no glory on her. It can't be her."
2. Can you use Adam and Eve's children instead of Adam and Eve? These, obviously, are the children never mentioned in the Bible and there isn't consensus on how many they did have. Adam lived a LONG time and I don't know how many children he had.
3. Be careful since it can sound New-Age-Ish if you're sharing people's souls.
