I knew that there was something familiar about this new guy! Who knew Freddie would be back in such a way!
Okay so when our new Hunter friend showed up, I thought he looked familiar.
it didn't hit me until this morning, when I was fully awake that he looks like Fred Abberline.
But what's the connection here, right. Well I looked back into Freddie's past history with Ciel, and one of the things that's mentioned was that he likes art and recognized Ciel's artwork on the walls of his home.
"Additionally, Abberline harbors a vast appreciation for the arts and is considerably knowledgeable of various paintings. He was impressed by Ciel's collection of Brotherhood Pre-Raphaelite artwork, as it is something he is a fan of.[9] -Chapter 23, page 23"
The brotherhood was a group that modeled themselves after the Nazarene movement. The brother hood was a group of Victorian painters whose works drew in the idea of spirituality and religion and influenced by the works of John Ruskin, who was influenced by his Christian upbringing. The Germ, their magazine, defined their ideals as the following.
"Pre-Raphaelite belief in the importance of nature (a germ is a seed) and of the human imagination, as implied by the phrase "the germ of an idea".
What's more important about this is that the group they modeled themselves on, the Nazarene movement were also highly connected to spirituality.
"The epithet Nazarene was adopted by a group of early 19th-century German Romantic painters who aimed to revive spirituality in art."
They hoped to return to art that embodied spiritual values, and sought inspiration in artists of the Late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, rejecting what they saw as the superficial virtuosity of later art.
In Rome, the group lived a semi-monastic existence as a way of re-creating the nature of the medieval artist's workshop. Religious subjects dominated their output, and two major commissions allowed them to attempt a revival of the medieval art of fresco painting. "
A key factor though, the Nazarere group was formed in....
So this connection Links to Modri and his past location.
Their influence affected the Brotherhood in regard to the philosophies of Idealism and artistic Symbolism, along with other connections with how people presented spirituality in their work. They had the idea that goodness could be influenced through their works.
So, what if, this order of Hunters is based on this group, and were not only artist by day but demon hunters of a religious based order at night working with the Grim Reapers, and the "Brass" in order to stop demons. Could it be that Fred might come from this line and our new friend with the bat beard is actually related to him?
I wonder if that's where the connection comes from, that the markings on Mordi are connected to the idea of this Brotherhood.
