Darroc is Mac's sister's boyfriend?

[Tonya]

Did anyone else pick up on the fact that Darroc ( from "The Immortal")
was the one that was dating Mac's sister?:33:I didn't the first time
I read "Darkfever", but then when I went back and re-read "Immortal",
I was like, "How did I miss that?".I was just wandering if anyone else knew
or thought that.

Please let me hear some opinions about this and any views on who
you all think Mac should pick. Me personally, my mouth waters thinking
about the arrogant Mr. JB:drool-vi:!!!


Tonya

[Sara]

Whaaa? Well, I totally missed that...is her name actually mentioned in Immortal?

[Tonya]

No, Alina is never mentioned in Immortal, but read the part that describes
Darroc in Immortal then go to the part in Darkfever when it describes Alina's
boyfriend in the photos.It's exactly the same , from the hair to the long scar
going down his face ( remember the one yummy Adam Black:drool-vi: did because of
him hurting the mortal woman in the past).You should check it out if you
get a chance!


Tonya

[stormsandsins]

A lot of ladies here have been speculating toward that end, and I'm also throwing my bet in, because it does seem like Alina's boyfriend is trying to build an army of sorts to finally break the Compact... Hmm... But we'll know for sure some time in the future (probably not even in Bloodfever! I have a feeling that's also going to be dragged over the course of the series, just like Barrons's true identity).

[MeShelle]

IMHO Darroc is Alinas boyfriend... The descriptions are just to similar... No way there is another guy out there that has that same discription

[Tonya]

I agree that there is no way that there is two people out there
that fit that description! Plus it says in Immortal that Darroc like to hurt and
torture human women, that's why him and Adam had a problem to begin with,
and how he came to get the scar.

So, who do you ladies think JB is? You know, besides one hot hottie!:drool-vi:


Tonya

[oracle]

I think it's pretty much a given that Darroc is Alina's BF. We've discussed it often and I am willing to bet a body part...say a pinky...that it's him...

[Tonya]

Yeah, I agree. I'm new and wasn't aware that anyone else was discussing it.
But, I am glad you told me.:D

Tonya

[oracle]

No worries Tonya. This is a place of discovery and re-discovery. It's wonderful when someone new joins the fray because they always bring a new perspective that usually leads to new revelations. Welcome, Tonya!

[Pyxie]

Last time she bet her (was it your left) pinky toe, luckily she still has it! ;-)Yep, everyone is pretty much in agreement that it is Darroc.

As for your question about who/what we think JB is...lol, the speculation has been endless, we've run the gamut:


Vampire
Werewolf
Dark Fae
Swamp thing ;-)
Fir Bolg
Part of the Draghar Sect
Druid


Hmm...I'm sure I'm missing a few, but if you have any theories on JB throw them out there we will be happy to speculate with you! :happy0158:

[Tonya]

I think that JB is a vampire. I just thought that because of the super-human stuff , the fact that Mac never really sees him during the day and he has all the windows of the garge darkened, and this compatition thing JB and Malluce has going on. Well, no matter what he is, he is yummy!

Tonya

[MaryBeth]

I just finished Darkfever and loved it!! I have been thinking of what JB is also. Seems like he may be part Druid due to the electrifying feels Mac gets and that he is a Pict, but he also sees Fae. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Sidhe-seer only women? The books always talk about the Sidhe-seer protecting "her" people. If he can see the Fae, wouldn't that mean he may be part Fae himself?

And I totally feel that Alina's boyfriend is Darroc.

This should really become a movie!!

[Tonya]

I agree. I thought that as well. In Immortal Adam says that Gabby feels that way because her seer senses was programed into her so that long ago seers could protect HER people and run.

[Stellarkismet]

When I was reading DF a few months ago and just after the description of Alina's boyfriend came about, Darroc was the first thing that came to my mind. Since I didn't know anything about this place I had no where to go to state my opinion. I tried to run it past my friend but she didn't really tell me her thoughts. I'm glad I found a thread that suggested it!

[leslie]

So Im new to the msg board but not to the books... yep I think that Alinas bf is darroc... a fae but not??? hmmmm, and JZB druid to the bone.. the runes like Cian? and the protect you like a man used to protect the women hello throw back and I love it!! I have to say the Kelters stoppin bye and the D'jai house relic puts a new twist in the story... I cant wait untill the next book!

[coolbreeze]

Yes, I just finished the book. At first I thought it might be the Unseelie King until they said it wasn't human and had a scar, so I went back to Immortal Highlander. I can't wait to read her new one; although, its not like her other series were there is one hero/heroine per book.
Do you think Jericho is the Unseelie King? I thought that in one of her previous books the Uns. King came out, but I cant seem to find it. I wonder if the Keltars are going to pop out. Remember in the las Keltar books the Seelie queen said her players were almost in place?

[Jean]

Funny...I found my friend...and and am looking for another...she should know my post..she made my avator..anyway...what do you suppose..the dark side of JB..Z...is caused from...a curse..or ..is it something..he always was......great one

[amberplumeria]

I could get behind the theory that Darroc was Alina's boyfriend...After all, he would want more than anything someone who could find Fae relics....he's probably looking for that immortality potion that Adam already destroyed, so he would have need of a sidhe-seer like Alina. Plus, we already know that the Lord Master a) isn't the Unseelie King, because no one knows where he is, and b) can get the hunters and other unseelie to follow him. So yes, I think it is Darroc.

I'm not sure if JB is the Unseelie King...from what I understand about the UK, he wouldn't be restraining himself because Mac is "too young" or whatever he says...Plus, as a sidhe-seer, wouldn't Mac be able to sense that he was Fae or something? We have to see her around a regular fae (besides V'lane, I mean) to see how she reacts...like if she was around...well not Adam, but a non-death by sex fae.

[oracle]

I think it's pretty much a given that Alina's BF is Darroc. Read the description of him in DF and then refer to Immortal for a description of Darroc. The BF and Darroc have the same coppery hair and eyes and telltale scar...

[Stellarkismet]

Not only is the description of Darroc in Immortal the same, I wanted to state that Aoibheal allowed Adam to choose a punishment and that was for him to be mortal. What I'm curious about is the power that the Dark Lord has, was his powers only diminished when he became a mortal being?

[oracle]

He lost all fae powers but it seems that he's found a way to regain powerfulness, though not the same powers, as the Lord Master...

[Naomi]

You know, I was debating the thought of JB being the Unseelie King also. Mac keeps seeing something in him, ok we all know that he's hot and alluring and any woman would be captivated by him, but she sees something more. So with that in mind I could be on board with him being Unseelie. And Yes I think Darroc is the Lord Master also.

[airframe120]

Well let me just throw one more thing out to add fuel to the fire so speak. In Spell of the H. Lucan mentions that he has a visitor show up with the same description as Darroc stating that he was mad because he had to let him live for now due to the time limit he was under. Darroc was looking to find the Dark Book and was willing to help him translate it. HMMMMM :33:. Looks like the heads up that the queen gives us at the end of this book is just a warmer. My thoughts on this are that JB is one of the 5 Druids but also I feel that his partner that he told Mac to call if she couldn't get a hold of him is also one. The logic behind this one. 1) Guy knows way too much about JB. 2) Guy can survive butt kicking from JB. 3) JB trusts him big time. That is just my two cents.

[flrsgvsu]

ok so like i just finished reading the first of the fever series and already my roomate thinks im insane cause i like so freaked out when i found out that darroc ( the used to be dark elder who is now a mortal cause of adam ) was alinas bf like that dosent make sense cause it says that in the photos he took of her it seemed like he loved her and how the heck can darroc love when he is supposed to be pure evil at least thats what i got from the Immortal H. can someone please help me understand this

[Shewolfe]

That's part of the mystery!! You kinda get 2 different views bc Mac is 100% convinced Darroc is responsible for Alina's death, but Barrons has his doubts and has told her more than once that maybe someone/thing else was behind it. You kinda get the drift that Barrons knows more about Darroc than he lets on, and this lends doubt to the whole thing! Only time will tell on this one m'girl!

Another thought: Adam totally changed when he thought he became human and started feeling emotions as complex as love, so why not Darroc? I haven't cast my vote in on this one yet.

I think in another thread I was trying to make sense of...well, anything I could...and I wondered if JB was V'Lane, same person different glamour...very powerful, etc etc. I guess you can check my post in that thread (Who/What is Barrons). I also wondered if maybe he was an evolved or other form of Berserk, given his strength, ability to jump down from high places...and moving fast without sound (unless Mac is just not that observant -_-'' haha, but I doubt it's that). And the Draghar Sect is interesting...I also had mentioned how he had that power, like Dageus, of putting someone in a trance-like state (JB with Fiona in their argument over Mac vs Dageus saying something and putting Chloe to a nice dreamless sleep).

[BlueCoyote]

i'm glad i read this thread lol now i remember what happened to Darroc.. he IS mortal but Mac can still pick up on the fae part of him...

i knew i wasnt imagining things lol

Yes! I have just finished re-reading Spell and saw that same passage. It's on Page 330:


Only this morning an unisual man with long coppery hair and shimmering copper eyes had sought him out, claiming to have knowledge of the ciphers in which the Dark Book was written. The man had dripped a deep-seated arrogance that could only have been born of some kind of power - either his own, or close association with someone who made him feel fearless...
But then the man had told him he'd actually lived among the Fae for a time, he;d been familiar with the runes on the Hallows, and he'd spoken a tongue he'd alleged was that of the Tuatha De themselves. He's alos displayed an intimate knowledge of the Seelie and Unseelie courts...

Lucan had definitely met Darroc.

[nikkimb413]

OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT Y CANT HE JUST GIVE UP HIS SURCH FOR POWER AND DIE ERRRRRRRR!

Another thought: Adam totally changed when he thought he became human and started feeling emotions as complex as love, so why not Darroc? I haven't cast my vote in on this one yet.


i think there is a small chance that he loved her alittle but not enough to put his mission i jepurdy but he did keep her personel affects n y do that if she ment nothing to him however small his feeling were even if he loved i dont think he would have known it if it hit him with a car

[knightsr4me]

I never saw the resemblance between Darroc and The LM until I re-read BF then re-read IH the other day. I was like, "OMG! That's who the LM is. I think he retained some of his fae power when the Queen punished him. I don't believe that Adam made it clear that he should be powerless as part of his sentence.
When I read the part about his physical description, I thought right away of the person that Lucan met in SotH. Bad men all around.

[dgward98]

I am re-reading "The Dark Highlander" and came across the name Simon Barton-Drew. Had sons that would do anything for him. Knows about the Druids.:33:

[Shewolfe]

A good point... if infact the sons were not present when Dagues released the power of the Draghar(sp?) and obliterated everyone in the room but Chloe. If I remember correctly, it doesn't actually state if all the present-day followers were present; but I think they would be if only to witness the fulfillment of the prophecy.

So I guess it's possible that some could still be floating around London.

[andrea_mullins]

hi, i'm a lurker here. you girls really go deep into this, i never would have thought to look on kmm's page and see if anyone else was like me! obsessed! anyway, on the topic of the draghar sect... i remember the simon barton character and his sons, etc. but are we assuming that our nemesis darroc is part of their "church" group??? :33:
sorry to introduce myself in such a bad manner- this idea was just too intriguing for me to pass up. so i'm andrea and i'm a moning-a-holic......:03:

Hey Andrea!

:th_multi-welcome: to the board and feel free to post ANY opinions you have! Everyone's really great here. Be sure to go into the Tea Room & other forums if you haven't checked them out already.

As to Darroc, I personally don't believe he had/has anything to do with the Draghar sect, but I do think any surviving members would've become one of the Lord Master's followers if they caught wind of him.

[andrea_mullins]

thanks shewolfe, i see tons of great theories here and it's just absolutely mind-boggling. you guys seem so nice and i can't wait to meet you all.
as of the draghar- it does make sense that the remaining followers would take up on the LM's lead.... i mean why ese would he christen himself as the LM? but i was reading the post again and i misread it-- she was talking about barrons. :33: i'm just curious, as i would never have thought this before. but is JB really as bad as we don't want to believe? we all know he's not the mercenary, and i just get the feeling he needs it for something... like as in the "he's cursed" theory. but for him to be part of the dark draghar? what would he possibly gain of it?

[Shewolfe]

Hmmm... I personally think that if Barrons knew about the Draghar sect, he'd roll his eyes and dismiss them as no concern to him, merrily going about his own way... okay, maybe describing Barrons as 'merry' is not quite right...

[TXIrish]

We know that Adam retained 'something' even though he's no longer fae, but I don't remember it being mentioned if he was still able to see them. Chances are, Darroc retained some memories of his Fae powers as well, but from the description of the things going on in the warehouse, he's using Fae objects to do what once came naturally. In the very beginning of chapter 23 of DF, Darroc is using a scepter on some of the symbols surrounding the dolmen. :33: His house is full of Fae 'silvers', suggesting that he knows their use as well. We know the SD changes the person exposed to it, so we can suppose that Darroc wants it to make himself more powerful, possibly Unseelie. :2v-vi: Y'know all these theories are going to drive us crazy by August, we may all have to have it read to us while we're in straight jackets.

[fea highland]

hey a little new here ..... :6: but JB also has faecuffs and a torque but also used the Druid skill voice ......just a thought........ at the end of the Dreaming Queen A went to gloat a bit then found out the King was playing a different game he had kept her caged for a time

[onlyheaven]

IMHO Darroc is Alinas boyfriend... The descriptions are just to similar... No way there is another guy out there that has that same discription

YUPPP!! :th_nod: Definitely Darroc. Not only are the physical descriptions too similar, but Darroc was turned human by Aoibheal. I think he bears a grudge against both Fae & man and has every reason to play the role of the Master.

[Anita]

Never picked up on that. Hmm
