I'm guessing William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Edward Longshanks. Braveheart wasn't all that accurate in the details but I can see how Matthew would hate what Longshanks tried to do to Scotland, especially after talking to Sean. And even more so if Matthew had fought under Edward's banner.
::nodding:: What Mischief said below about Edward I and his incursions across the border. ::wry:: Matthew died in 1255; Cory died in 1285. A few years after Matthew would have been done teaching Cory, Edward was fighting the French and then the Scottish, and it got ugly here and there.
Mostly, though, this is me trying to figure out why an English immortal, a noble's son from the south of England by the name and first death, has been using a Scottish surname for at least two hundred years.
As to the snippet, not at the moment. At the moment, I'm fighting my way through a 3rd rewrite of a Marcus & LaCroix fic which is refusing to come out right.
these were all simply delightful (and the HL OC ones have me itching to go back and re-read the Line War all over again. It seems to happen once every couple of years. ;-)
Death was a thousand years ago, and a thousand seconds ago, and it's not that the bastard's gone so much as he's lazing around on retainer. Becoming Death again is easy. Going back to Adam Pierson... that's hard.
Sometimes, I think your brain is a wonderful, scary place to be...
::nods:: Exactly. Death is the knife he's owned so long it's shaped to his hand, or he's shaped to it, and it's *that* easy to use... and that hard to stop using.
