Lorenzo

The Shield Of Time, PART SIX, 1138alpha, pp. 328-336.

The first time Manse Everard met a Danellian:

"He could not look at the shape which blazed before his eyes."

-Poul Anderson, "Time Patrol" IN Anderson, Time Patrol (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 1-53 AT 6, p. 51.

When Everard meets Lorenzo de Conti who will turn out to be a personal causal nexus:

"...the man somehow blazed."

-The Shield Of Time, p. 330.

Everard's first impression is "...of vividness." (p. 329) Lorenzo rises like a panther. Expressions cross his face like sun-flickers in a breeze on water. That reads like one of the descriptions of mutable reality. It is conditional, like a wave pattern, like diffraction rings, a spectral flickering...

Lorenzo does not doubt that St. George and his patron saint watched over him in battle. He felt God's hand on him when he attacked. Everard asks whether anything supernatural was seen. He means a time traveller but he has yet to learn that Lorenzo was the only "supernatural" element when the course of battle changed at Rignano.
