Vate

At long last, the fourth Vate's identity is revealed: us?

You mean the fourth Zero?

NO YOU DUMMY, THE FOUR FUCKING VATES.

Remember back in Generation 12, "Four Vates" who saved Eabha from dying. Dorren, Lennox, Helvetius; the fourth one's unknown.

Oh. Then I have no clue what you're talking about; I don't pay attention to the storyline.

You suck then.

^What Infodude said.

And yes, I do assume this is the fourth vate mentioned in G12, though I wish it turned out Berched was also an alchemist and he was the fourth vate. =\ This vate's name is Professor J.

What does Vate mean irl and who's Prof J outside of Mabi, if one exists?

In Spanish, it means seer or prophet. other than that, it's probably a word devcat took and gave them the name on the spot or it just sounded awesome at the time of development.

if it matters, it also means a poet/bard in Italian o-o...though if you want to go and urbanize it...go with horrendous/hideous.

Guess it could mean seer or prophet since they did save a kid's life through a "miracle".

Heck, Alchemy can be pretty much viewed as a miracle...

Well Merlin is based on mythical mage who fought against druids (hence him BEING a druid makes no sense. . .) and Boann the Diva is named after some goddess. Professor J probably has a counterpart too but we probably won't know unless they say what the J stands for.

o-o Merlin was considered both a mage and/or a druid considering on which story of merlin you heard

The only J I know is Onose Jun, a japanese rock artist who goes by "J." maybe he's going by the name J for a reason?

Well duh they were the wrong SORT of druid :P

I don't quite understand your point. There aren't multiple kinds of druids in mythology nor mabi.

• sigh* Was making a joke. It's like religion, yes I'm a Christian and he;s a Christian but he's the WRONG SORT of Christian, also he has that nice house and I want it :P

EDIT: Actually I'm sure there probably was a lot of hating of the other druids there always is in religion. EDIT2:Please don't make this into a religious debate. I was trying to make a joke.
