: Damas: Biblical: A disciple of Paul who abandoned him for
: worly things.
: Arthurain Legends: Damas was the most traitorous knight
: that ever lived. His brother, Sir Outzlake was as
: loved as he was hated. Damas would trap knights
: through sorcery and agreed to release them if one of
: them would battle, and slay his brother, however none
: had the heart to battle Sir Outzlake. When Damas
: captured Arthur, Arthur agreed to battle Sir Outzlake
: for the sake of all the other knights. Arthur's evil
: stepsister, Morgan le Fay, gave Escalibur to Outzlake
: and gave Arthur a crappy sword. Arthur and Outzlake
: fought for a while but (quotation from Ares)
: "eventualy teamed up and kicked Damas's
: ass". Damas was exiled however, not killed.
This brings up some intriguing questions. One, was Damas just a name bungie liked for their character, or was Damas(Soulblighter) modeled after the historical and mythical figure's? If this is so, did soulblighter somehow betray Balor or was it someone else? I think if this theory has any grain of truth to it ,it would be back when Damas left Cath'Bruig for the untamed lands, leaving Connocht without his brightest lieutenant.
There is more I would like to write, however there are 51 messages here I must sort through. Sorry I missed the meeting last night and another apology if this re-addresses anything settled then.
