[Variol (Farseer) Elmwood]

There's a thread on Terry Brooks forum about it too.

I see it as a kind of Highlander meets Angel thing? It seems like he really doesn't care who knows, which is an interesting twist.
The old man in it is his son. Even the flashback has him as a Lawyer and his daughter is working for him.

..must be hard, constantly watching your kids grow old and die...

I don't really know what they can do with this?
