Oh well I thought I was probably reading too much into it! Just thought it was interesting.
Now that you mention it Chrischa I do vaguely remember something about Fitz thinking the Black Man was oddly familiar before we knew who he was. I think I pondered what the heck that could mean but then later forgot all about it!
He didn't mention anything about it when he got a proper look at him though, at least I don't think so.
Liquid Ice no I don't really think of the prophets as a 'race' myself, but I've seen it referred to that way by others (so I used it but in inverted commas) and I didn't have a better way of saying it! Really I guess it's just a set of traits that are expressed when the necessary genes come together (although I don't think we're meant to apply real world science too closely to it). I think from memory they did used to be a separate race once?
I honestly never thought of the Fool as NOT human, but he does have a freak out when he takes Fitzes memories from Girl on a Dragon and says something like 'it's too human' and also I think Fitz makes some comment about him not being human when he's in his body? That surprised me actually. Real world science would fall down there for sure. If you are the offspring of two humans, you'd be human!
