Talk:Mordred Deschain

Nitpick

Susannah's previous multiple personalities are not elements of a "personality disorder," but rather "dissociative identity disorder," which belongs to an entirely seperate category of conditions (fittingly, the dissociative disorders). Should the article be edited to reflect this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.171.69 (talk) 05:41, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

I'm cleaning up The Dark Tower Characters and am thinning the Mordred Deschain section considerably, since there is a main article on him. For legacy, or pasting into this article, here is the original text:

Son of two fathers and two mothers, Mordred was born of Susannah's egg fertilized by the seed of both Roland of Gilead and the Crimson King (via the demon encountered while drawing Jake into the world), and carried to term by Mia. Mordred is half-human, half-god, and if his fate is fulfilled, he will both kill Roland (one of his fathers) and topple the Dark Tower itself. He is very powerful, yet he is also extremely arrogant as well (embodying all youth). His abilities include (but may not be limited to): the ability to change between human form and spider form at will, although it taxes his energy greatly; the ability to exert his will over others (both animal & human) & machines, even overcoming protective devices (such as Walter's "thinking cap"), as well as reading another's mind; and absorb one's knowledge and experience by devouring them. Walter o'Dim was devoured alive helplessly in an attempt to make Mordred his puppet when he was just a baby, and the boy still managed to pursue Roland for numberless miles less than a week after his birth.

However, neither the seers nor fate itself could protect Mordred from the death of magic in Mid-World as the Tower falters. Mordred becomes deathly ill after eating poisoned "horse" meat, and when he makes a final attempt to kill his White Father, he is attacked by Oy. Oy is able to distract Mordred long enough to allow Roland to wake up and kill his son, at the threshold of the Dark Tower.

The article already adequately explains what happens in the scene. This image does not expand the reader's understanding and thus serves only a decorative purpose, especially considering that the text describes a novel, not a film.

Question

Does anyone have the picture of baby Mordred sleeping in a spiderweb? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.122.30 (talk) 02:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
