Not just Ivy's knowledge, but also how she became the Archive. In Death Masks, she says that when her mother gave birth, she went into a persistent vegetative state, and that that was how the Archive always passed from one to another -- at the new Archive's birth. In Small Favor, the story's completely different -- that Ivy's mother killed herself while still pregnant, that the Archive passes upon the death of the previous Archive, and Ivy's situation is wholly different and unprecedented.

Sooo... is there WOJ that this was a mistake, or are we assuming?

Because Small Favor was about preventing the Archive from becoming corrupted, but what if someone wrote down some malicious code that actually rewrote Ivy's memories?

I thought it was pretty clear that his power went to Where the Dragons Went.

Blood might have still gotten on the object, cleanliness is not a priority in a crucification.

The spearhead, the thorned crown, the cup of his blood, and his bloodied burial shroud. That some blood splattered on the placard is a less solid claim. You have stepped down from "All of these items have been touched by blood" to "Blood might have still gotten on [the placard.]"

No, I think the Name of God TWG being written on the placard is the key to its significance.

The Spear of Longinus is also deeply tied into the post-Crucifixion Grail mythos, as the Fisher King possessed both.

So, not for nothing, but it would be weirder if the knife wasn't the Spearhead of Longinus.

But her description isn't consistent with being pale-skinned, blond and blue-eyed.  She was dark-skinned, had dark brown-grey hair, and--IIRC--brown eyes (actually said amber eyes that could just barely qualify as brown--i.e. wolf eyes).

... Sounds like Native isn't a bad fit, for various shades of "dark-skinned."

But as for Coyote, while wolves and coyotes do hybridize, it's primarily due to the wholesale elimination of the former.  I think there are wolf-spirit entities that would probably be closer to the role you've suggested, and they occur in Celtic as well as North American Native tradition.  Since allegedly St. Patrick was the one who cursed Harley MacFinn's ancestor (and I think 'Fitz' is a Celtic word), might be worth looking into.

I take your point. My general lack of knowledge regarding Native traditions made me posit Coyote/wolf, but Wolf/wolf makes more sense.

Except the Alphas are taught by Tera to transform into what they imagine werewolves to look like. Conversely, since she uses the same technique, she transforms into what she imagines humans look like. Her palette, as it were, aren't limited to naturalistic wolf tones.

Giamatti's a bit old for Butters.
