: If anything, I think the Watcher recognized the
: overwhelming possibility that the Leveler diety would
: choose Mazzarin to be its next host. Therefore, the
: Watcher trapped Mazzarin and killed him, with the
: hopes/intentions of making the Leveler choose the
: next-best candidate. Who imo the Watcher assumed was
: none other than himself. Unfortunately (?) for the
: Watcher, the Leveler did not choose him.
: If the above theory is correct, imagine the service the
: Watcher paid to the Light in the bigger scheme of
: things! Just imagine the Leveler inside the body of
: Mazzarin, and the unthinkable damage that would be
: done by this Leveler reincarnation.
: But why would the Watcher want to prevent such a thing?
: Possibly because he realized he would have no place in
: such a future. Possibly because he wanted to force the
: Leveler to choose him as next host candidate. Who
: knows that goes on in the mind of someone like
: Bahl'al?
: -Welly
But can't the Leveler take over the bodies of the deceased? I think, however, that it was bound to choose Tiresces/Connacht etc. as they were the only beings which had been proven to be more powerful than their generation's Leveller.
