Why did Macbeth want the Scrolls of Merlin? That was never answered in the episode Lighthouse in a Sea of Time.
Greg responds...
Yes, it was, actually. He thought they'd contain powerful magical spells... useful (potentially) in his conflict with/hunt for Demona.
Makhasu writes...
What was the relationship between Macbeth and Duncan like during the eight years that Duncan was king? By 1040, he seemed to trust Macbeth enough to go walking with him and his son.
Greg responds...
Barely.
Macbeth tried to demonstrate his loyalty. Duncan always regarded these attempts with suspicion.
Makhasu writes...
You answered, when asked if Macbeth and Demona share emotional pain, "Metaphorically." I didn't quite understand that. Could you explain in greater detail?
Greg responds...
Probably.
Makhasu writes...
Where did Macbeth go when he fled Scotland in 1057? Did he ever return?
Greg responds...
I'm not answering the former at this time. But, yes, he has been back to Scotland since 1057.
Makhasu writes...
Did Macbeth really die when Canmore stabbed him? The Weird Sisters said to Demona that "though the pain is great, child, you are unharmed." Were she and Macbeth alive, but in pain, when Canmore declared himself victorious?
Greg responds...
Six of one, half dozen of the other.
Makhasu writes...
Can Demona or Macbeth sustain permanent damage? Like scars, lost limbs, etc... They're in impeccable shape for people who've been, as you said in one answer, "stabbed, shot, etc."
Greg responds...
The question isn't can they, but HAVE they.
Makhasu writes...
Does Demona still think that Macbeth was planning to betray her in 1057?
Greg responds...
Probably.
Makhasu writes...
What was Macbeth and Demona's relationship like when he was king? How well did they get along?
Greg responds...
Well.
Makhasu writes...
What do Macbeth and Demona think of that golden age during his reign as king?
Greg responds...
Macbeth probably sees it as a glorious time, capped by betrayal.
Demona probably sees it as part of an elaborate scheme to lull her into a false sense of security.
Makhasu writes...
Does Demona know that Macbeth is no longer actively hunting her?
Greg responds...
Are you so sure he's not?
Makhasu writes...
How did Canmore find out about Macbeth and Demona's link? How did those rumors get started?
Greg responds...
Think about it. Macbeth ages nearly twenty years in one night and suddenly has a gargoyle ally... Plus a few people knew about the "bargain" including Bodhe. Word was bound to get around. Not necessarily accurate word. But word.
Makhasu writes...
Did Demona's low opinion of humans change at all during Macbeth's golden age of rule? She and her clan's treatment was very different from what it had been before, and his reign is the only time we ever see Demona truly happy and content.
Greg responds...
I think it did -- at least briefly but certainly superficially.
Makhasu writes...
What did Macbeth's subjects think of him aging suddenly from 35 to 52 overnight? Did he ever give an explanation for the change?
Greg responds...
I'm sure he made a point NOT to give an explanation, and I'm sure everyone assumed the truth, i.e. sorcery.
Makhasu writes...
Did Macbeth have any advisors other than Demona? If so, how well did they get along with Demona?
Greg responds...
Clearly, he had Bodhe, who was probably afraid of Demona. But I'm sure he had others, and some would have gotten along with her better than others did. But I tend to think that Demona reported directly (and to some extent privately) with Macbeth, limiting her "camaradery" with the rest of his "staff".
Makhasu writes...
What's Macbeth opinion about Gargoyles as a species?
Greg responds...
See issue #2 of the comic for a fairly good idea.
Makhasu writes...
The Scottish people seemed pretty hateful/fearful towards gargoyles before Macbeth's reign. How was he able to change opinions and get people to accept Demona and her clan?
Greg responds...
Winners tend to get to make the rules. And the gargoyles helped the winning side win. So that went a LONG way toward reducing more OVERT prejudice.
Makhasu writes...
Does Macbeth have any close friends? If so, do any of them know who he really is?
Greg responds...
I'm not revealing this at this time.
Makhasu writes...
Who came up with the idea for the Paris scheme against Macbeth? Thailog or Demona?
Greg responds...
Thailog.
Makhasu writes...
Is Macbeth conciously aware of how much his morals have changed since his youth? He does things in the present that he would never have done when he was young (attacking innocents to trap an enemy, theft, etc...) If he does realize how much he's changed, how does he feel about it?
Greg responds...
I'll leave that to audience interpretation, I think.
Makhasu writes...
Why didn't Goliath and co. (when they were in Paris) tell Macbeth about the Weird Sisters controlling him and Demona? Even if only to prevent him from being susceptible to their manipulations again.
Greg responds...
How do you know they didn't?
Makhasu writes...
What was Macbeth's position in WWII? We know he fought in it, but from what angle? Was he in the British or American militaries? Did he fight independently? Other?
Greg responds...
I'm not revealing this at this time.
Makhasu writes...
You've said that Macbeth doesn't get involved after the Space Spawn invade Earth in 2198, until some time later. Why? Surely he wouldn't just ignore his planet being taken over. He fought in WWII. Why would he stay out of this far more important war?
Greg responds...
I'm not revealing this at this time.
Makhasu writes...
Macbeth said to King Arthur that he was too long a king to serve another. Does this mean that he's never served or worked for anyone post-1057?
Greg responds...
No, it doesn't necessarily mean that.
Makhasu writes...
You've hinted that Luach was conceived during the time that Gruoch was married to Gillecomgain, with Macbeth being the father. Why would he and Gruoch take such a risk? He gave her up for her own safety... committing adultery would probably have resulted in her execution.
Greg responds...
Yep. So why would they take the risk?
The only answer I have is... why do you think?
Just to be clear, I'd like to make the point that I haven't "hinted" that Luach was conceived during Gruoch's marriage to Gillecomgain. Luach was definitely conceived during that time. I have suggested that PERHAPS Macbeth was the biological father, but that neither Gruoch or Macbeth know for sure.
