** It can be both a TakeThat and a Deconstruction of vampires in general. I mean, Caelan inhabits a lot of vampire cliches. He's handsome, he confuses the heroine, he's quite creepy and has dangerous...but none of this is played as desirable. We can forgive Valkyrie for being confused and uncertain about who she likes better, Caelan or Fletcher, because I kind of doubt that Valkyrie knows much about common sense, what with the job she has and the people she hangs out with. However, Caelan is still played up as horribly creepy and unpleasant (to the reader), so he can be a Deconstruction of the vampire romances in general (what with dangerous=hot in a lot of them).

* Given that the importance mostly relates to Gordon/Echo Gordon's soft spot for Val, and it's implied that they weren't dating all that long before she fell head over heels for Desmond, and it's pretty safe to say that all the Edgley adults would have known, it seems vanishingly unlikely this will ever happen.

** [[spoiler: The insane power is almost certainly because he is a dead thing using Necromancy, without any relation to his true name. That being said, Skulduggery is independently described as a powerhouse in general.]]



** [[spoiler: Maybe it's actually the reflection in the bad future vision, and Valkyries Darquesse, and maybe the reflection is wearing the gaunlet because it has no magic of its own because of its lack of true name, and that its using Lord Viles gauntlet or something, because then it isn't technically its own magic.]]

** [[spoiler: Jossed. It's a Deathtouch Gauntlet - instant kill weapon - and Valkyrie doesn't end up choosing any discipline, as such, because Darquesse is booted out and takes her magic with her. Then she gets her Surge and ends up with her white lightning and diet-True-Name-Sorcerer/Hope Summers-on-crack powers]].




to:

** The second theory is partially true. [[spoiler: Skulduggery's siblings are BackFromTheDead in the Grimoire - no one is entirely sure why - and one of them is Uther Peccant, a recurring background character in the second series and Skulduggery's older brother. Crepuscular, meanwhile, isn't one of Skulduggery's brothers he's his grandson]].

[[WMG: [[spoiler:Remnant!Tanith and a cure. ]]]]

* [[spoiler: As well all know Tanith gets possessed 'permanently' by a remnant. We also know that the only known cure for such is to kill the person. So, why don't they? We know that when Valkyrie went to see Nye she was technically dead... Why not KO Tanith or similar, stick her on the Coach-A-Bowers and wait for her to return, having died and thus forcing the Remnant out? Please do point out any flaws in this beyond practicality. It's possible they can't get Nye to help them or such, but the mention of this could at least be made in suggestion. This troper thought Valkyrie was going to, and should have, said something similar to Skulduggery about it soon after Remnant!Tanith came to be.]]

** how's this point of view; Valekrie is fighting against the latest big bad [[spoiler: while fighting to contain Darquess as usual]] , they're getting curb-stomped. Her parents somehow get involved and come looking for her [[spoiler: Leading into the vision, with Valkerie suddenly realizing her parents are coming, the villain is about to kill them, and she isn't strong enough to stop them. She unleashes Darquesse as a desperate attempt to stop the villain from doing it. Since she's noticing similarities between her and Darquesse, she might hope that Darquesse doesn't want her family dead either by then. And consider What Valkerie said in the vision. Who could she be talking to besides Darquesse?]]

The Ancients where the first with magic, and it's hereditary, but not everyone is a descendant of them, it would make sense for them to have magic for different reasons or sources than regular mages.

* There's a lot of hints in the series, mainly in two veins. Vein one, Skulduggery seems to match the protagonist profile of [[AuthorAvatar Gordon's]] books -he's presented as 'a good guy', has his morals and character brutally assassinated, finds redemption/is humbled and then is murdered in the least dignified way possible. At the start of the series he is shown to be Valkyrie's dream get-out-Haggard-free meal ticket, and the series hints at his past being darker and darker with small successive reveals slowly blackening his grey morality until the Big Reveal [[spoiler: of Skulduggery being the senseless mass murderer, Lord Vile.]]. He's now humbled [[spoiler: by the reveal of his resurrection being the result of "a Necromancer trick"]] and I am sensing even more of an atonement arc, and then... Bam. The other vein the hints seem to be taking is of Skulduggery being able to 'Move On' - it's referenced by many of the characters, and since Skulduggery now has his head, [[spoiler: his origin/rebirth story]] and revenge for his family on Serpine (and possibly [[spoiler: China?]]) all that's left is a) training a protege (Lampshaded by Baron Vengeous, I think) and b) saving the world... Hints from Derek seem to be pointing toward the resolution of both of these. Plus the resolution of their codependent shiptastic (yeah, I said it) /unhealthy closeness/ will have to be resolved, one way or another, and much as I'd like the author of a series with [[spoiler: violence to the point where Darquess/Val gets her /freaking eye popped out by Vile/, not to mention the constant [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar]] levels the references to romance between any of the characters - Sorrowscorn, anyone?-.]] to have it resolved that way I doubt it's going to end up with the two of them alive and walking off into the sunset together. I mean, it's Derek.

* Eliza Scorn said that a famously {AxCrazy} member of the Diablerie named Murder Rose was sent after the child (Scorn mentions her surprise that Rose actually followed orders and didn't just kill the kid out of hand), while China went after Skulduggery's wife because of her jealousy. I however, have a different theory - his wife was pregnant, the war started and Skul went off to fight, she gave birth, and the kid was still a very young baby when (s)he and his/her mother were kidnapped. Therefore, the only chance Skulduggery ever had to see his child was a split-second shot of a baby (and without description or examination, it's very difficult to tell the sex of newborns) before Serpine murdered them both. That's my theory; his wife and baby were murdered before he ever truly saw his son/daughter.
