[SPEC] Alvar Hanso is Marvin Candle?

[tmerch]

While I'm not sure I subscribe to this theory, I do find it interesting that many of Alvar Hanso's quotes on THF.org seem to make reference to light: "brilliant", "shine", "brightest lights", "light the way", "brighter future".

There are even some less-obvious ones that conjure up images of light or candles: "pass on to future generations" (candles are often used in religious and other rituals to symbolize passing along knowledge), "well-charted" (as in visible or explored).

I realize that a lot of this is typical industry-speak for scientific research, but what better pseudonym would there be for someone for whom these matters are a life pursuit than Marvin Candle?

Oops, just noticed about those names:

Not that I really want to give any credit to this theory (since I think it's about as crazy as anyone else does), I would like to point out that, although the Hanso Foundation does seem to be a Danish company, that's no guarantee that Hanso is Danish (trout me if I'm wrong). Further consider that, though Alvar does seem to be a Danish name, Hanso does not (think Hattori Hanso). There does seem to be an eastern slant to the company's philosophy...

(Actually, please don't think about it. I know I'm crazy. But I had to have someone prove me wrong )

As someone said in another thread, I'd be wary of thinking this, because we've not been introduced to Candle in the game, as yet
