[ Dorian matches that smile and then launches into a full-blown myth geek talk. ]
If we fudge some definitions, we've got Cú Chulainn. Irish warrior, though the king part's not entirely accurate. Aided by the Morrigan a few times, cavorted with otherworldly women, here's our magicians. And we've got your birds, as the only way his enemies could tell that he was dead was when a raven perched on his shoulder. [ He pauses for a moment to let that sink in, smile even wider. Suck it, a plausible theory!
...that has a few holes in it that Dorian's going to address. ]
Of course, Irish isn't Welsh. And again, the biggest problem is the flexibility of the word 'king.' But I'm much more liable to go to bat for the Irish side of things over Welsh considering I met a banshee.
