Little help?
I'm cracking open the discussion for this article because I need a little help. I see in the Concordance that at some point, it is mentioned that Marten and Walter are one in the same, but I don't for the life of me remember where. Any of you DT Junkies know?

Well, in the comic, there is a scene where Marten actually changes into Walter. Or are you asking where in the Concordance it says this?
I believe in DT7 at Walter's looking back while about to be Mordred's lunch, he talks about using the persona of Marten to help bring down the Affiliation.
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
Also, in the DT2, Roland thinks back to his past and claims to have always wondered if Marten and Walter were the same man. I know this isn't concrete though.
Great stuff!!

I love you guys.
