: Yes I thought I'd bring this one back. I wanted to post
: my own theory, get it shot down, and rad the new ones
: form you guys. Well here it goes: I believe that we
: all agree that the Narrator of the Prologue is a
: Warrior. Now regardless of if the Journal writer is
: the same person I believe he is a warrior also. I
: believe that he is a high ranking officer in the
: legion. They trust him enough to carry the Codex, and
: he has the power to resolve to destroy the thing. But
: I dont believe the writer has to be a unit we control
: in the game. Game vs. Storyline conflict is big in
: Myth. There are things Bungie doesn't let out, things
: go on we arent aware of, in the same battle. Battle's
: are large and confusing there are many parts to them.
: The writer could be a soldier under our comand or he
: could be in another unit a few miles off, and could
: still know the majority of what happened. The
: jman-Codex thing is an in game neccesaty, Warriors
: cant pick up items. Also for gameplay's sake, jmen are
: less prone to dying then any other unit, you lose the
: Codex carrier its an instant loss. Let me hear your
: thoughts and aspersions.
The Jman-Codex thing doesn't seem to be a problem at all to me--maybe the narrator carries the book most of the way in his pack, but only the Jman knows how to find it in the first place. And during battle, the narrator might hand the book off to the Jman because he's bigger and his robe has pockets; hence he's less encumbered by the book during battle than the narrator would be. Or something.
It seems to me, though, that the narrator has to be (if he's going to be any one unit) an archer. There are certain levels where, clearly, there are only a few units anywhere nearby, and where the narrator makes it obvious he's one of them. Like "The Baron" and "A Murder of Crows" and "Limbs, Heads and Smoking Craters." The only units common to these levels are archers and dwarves, and I'm pretty sure the narrator isn't a dwarf. :-)
Or is the narrator not human at all? Perhaps he's a creature of pure mind, possessing a different member of the Legion in each battle...
