The Watcher gets her power from study, not consorting with demon gods or whatever. She does make bargains with some faerie. I used the Doctor Strange comparison as an archetype of hero rather than having her getting her powers the same way. I envisioned her as some sort of ancient semi-fae figure like a Merlin or a Nimue who obtained immortality and dedicated her time to keeping powerful beings from invading. Hmm... actually, I am inclined to actually make her Nimue, Merlin's apprentice. Probably Celtic Christian then. Likely views the Order of the Weeping Rose as upstarts who do not really understand what they are doing.<br/><br/>Actually, that makes for a good conflict. The Order looks on the Watcher as being this vaguely suspect in her methods and dealings, while the Watcher sees them as mere mortals meddling in affairs beyond their ken. But despite that, they are on the same side, and will begrudgingly call on the other when they need something. The Watcher acknowledges their superior exorcists and capability of getting rid or evil artifacts that she know would tempt her too much, the Order realizes that the Watcher is very, very old and has a lot of useful lore stored up. Sounds good?<br/><br/>Nice C.S. Lewis quote, by the way.
