Peter Gross had this to say about Barbatos' appearance here:
"[This is Barbatos'] first appearance. Remember, the Barbatos who was in the book [earlier] is the Barbatos from a future time who came back to ours. We've never met the Barbatos from our time, or learned how he became obsessed with Timothy Hunter in the first place." --from the mailing list (on Wednesday, March 24, 1999). Archives of the list can be viewed at booksofmagic at Onelist.
