Who is Hatfield?

For those that know me from MUDding, the primary name I use for my character is Hatfield.

Hatfield is a character from a short story by Fr. Martin Bell, an Episcopal priest and friend of our family. Fr. Bell's first collection of short stories, The Way of the Wolf is available at his personal webpage, www.barringtonbunny.com. Hatfield was taken from his third collection, Return of the Wolf, which is out of print, but can still be found through sources such as used book stores or Amazon or Books-a-million.

Reader's digest version of the story: Hatfield is a metaphor for every man's journey in search of God. He is a blind dhariki master (sort of a martial arts thing) in search of the lair of the Wolf. In his journey, his arch nemisis Jennings (along with his henchmen Nefid, Drow and Tolak), attempts on several occasions to turn Hatfield asside from his path. By the end of the story, Hatfield realizes that the end destination is not what's important, it is the journey. He won't find the Wolf's lair, the Wolf will find him.

If you don't know my by the name Hatfield, you might know me as either Jamie or Murta(u)gh. These are characters taken from a series of novels by author Diana Gabaldon called the Outlander Series; including Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Drums of Autumn, Fiery Cross, and A Breath of Snow and Ashes. Fair warning, some points in the stories in these books are a bit more mature in subject matter. There is moderately explicit descriptions of relationships between the two main characters, but as the characters are married, I only offer warning because it might be a bit shocking if you're not expecting it.
