Exposition of Immortality: Difference between revisions

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* In ''[[ClanDestine]]'', a group of villains figure out that Adam Destine is immortal based on finding portraits of him, all at the same apparent age, spanning several hundred years.

* ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'': {{spoiler|Proinsias}} Cassidy. He's a vampire and was made one during the Easter Rising in Dublin 1916, which makes him 80+ during the series' run. He tells Jesse all about how he was turned and how he came to America and all the friends he's left behind and lost to old age through the years during a long conversation on top of the Empire State Building. [[Unreliable Narrator|Turns out he missed a few details, though.]]

** The Saint Of Killers got a four-issue mini-series all of his own to tell us about his mortal life in the Civil War and the terrible winter of 1878. He dumps a silver dollar with just that date on the counter of a bar in ''Gone To Texas,'' too.

** Major ''League'' character [[King Solomon's Mines|Allan Quatermain]] keeps coming back to life anyway, even without the benefits of the Fountain of Youth he receives in the comics. Much as with Orlando, it's through his conversations with Mina that we connect the youthful Allan Junior with the allegedly deceased elder Quatermain.

* ''[[Lucifer]]:'' During opening arc ''The Morningstar Option,'' Lucifer returns to Hell for a conversation with Remiel in which he reminisces about the time before The Fall and before the creation of Man.

** Orpheus remembering his wedding, his dismemberment by the Maenads, and the arc involving Johanna Constantine retrieving his severed head from Revolutionary France.

** Thessaly. Her "name" is actually a pseudonym, taken from the region near [[Ancient Greece]] she used to live in when she was young. She gets referred to as "the Thessalian" by several of the supernatural characters.
