Murray the Alchemist: As Steve has said a lot of times, MoL (as we call it around here) started out as a game. The game had different paths, and although he decided to turn it into a short story before he got all that far, there were some differences between the game and the story in Light At the Edge of Darkness. So I guess we'll start with the "Rogues' Gallery" of pictures he used. He had to make do with the images supplied, so he didn't get them right, of course--I mean, my charm and wit just don't come through at all!
Rod/Titan: To say nothing of the size of his mouth. Anyway, prepare for Murray without makeup!
