So. We can't have Jesus, sadly, but perhaps for obvious reasons.
But it would be fun (or torment, either way; that’s fun too) if there were some others around from Teddy’s time period, probably best if they were people having to do with Jesus/who had interacted with him or at least heard of him. I’m thinking people such as…
Mary Magdalene, one of the most important apostles (though she wasn’t one of “the Twelve”) and who may or may not have been romantically involved with Jesus. I don’t make those calls, and I wouldn’t want to upset anyone with religious sensitivities. I’d say she could be a Freshman, too, or perhaps a transfer; Teddy shouldn’t find out about her until after he joins RSOR though.
Any of the other apostles, i.e. Simon Peter, Thomas, any of them. It would definitely be some interesting friction. No preferences from me here.
Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea who condemned Jesus and ordered his crucifixion. Perhaps older than Teddy. They never met (I presume) IRL, but Pilate was historically a “heartless” guy who, unlike the Gospels portray him, was unlikely to simply go with the will of the crowd at Jesus’ trial.
Ciaphas, the High Priest to whom Judas/Teddy would have given information about Jesus’ wherabouts. Interesting, interesting, especially given the whole, a-new-religion-still-popped-up-despite-executing-Jesus.
If you have any other ideas, feel free to try them out. I was just thinking those would be the people most likely to have known or had some connection with darling Theodore during his first life.
