Question Dominus / Mephisto / Thomas Townsend / Etc.

Wiki Article on Dominus]

...

We don't have any idea what he is, do we? We can't even rule any thing out, I think? ... Although, my current theory is that he's a mage, perhaps a Wiz, perhaps a baseline, who's just really smart / innovative. Mainly 'cause how he talks about the Laws of Magic. Mainly Balance and Nemesis. (With his rejuvenation being from the youth potions that wizards strive for.) ... Is there anything against that? It's not he's fought anyone with the ability to see essence or something, which would reveal him to be a mage?

Everything depends upon how much of Razzle Dazzle is the truth.

Truth.

... So, Dominus might not be Mephisto? IIRC, all we know about Dominus or whoever, is that small convo with Carson and Razzle Dazzle?

New WMG: Dominus and Mephisto and possibly others are sharing identities, so nothing can be trusted and stuff...

Razzle Dazzle is also a story from a conman ... It's probably embellished substantially

Well, he admits in it Part 3:

Townsend chuckled. Well THAT was fun! A lovely bit of pure bullshit. Just enough facts, just enough truth, just enough half-truth, just enough spin, just enough information control, just enough drama, just enough pathos, and a whole lot of CRAP. Anyone who managed to get at any of that would be swimming in fantasy land for years. He’d set enough hooks, traps, blinds, and poison pills in that mess that he’d be able to know when anyone was poking at it. He’d been setting false evidence for years, so most of it would ‘grandfather’ in as the truth. He wondered who really sent Wexler. It was probably nothing, just Jeff Armbruster trying to be the big hero again. If so, then he’d just get a double-barrel blast full of humiliation right in the face for his efforts. But then, it might be something more. If Jeff Armbruster wound up dead, then it might mean that the Dark Avenger was finally making his move. And if THAT happened… well, then the game was JUST BEGINNING.

... And he's been planting false evidence for years... So any info that we get on anything other than memories and flashbacks is also unreliable!

And then when he denigrates Mephisto at the end, how do we know if he's lying or telling a Cassandra truth?
