Player: Gail Character: Lyall Reason for Echo: Bakura speaking ancient Egyptian at him. In canon, Lyall's boyfriend spent a lot of time in Egypt, and Lyall did a lot of studying of Egypt because of both said boyfriend and because of the Godbreaker plague there, not to mention that werewolves supposedly ruled Egypt for a lot of the time of the pharaohs. His whole pack spent time there as a recurring stop on its military tours. He knows what a number of dialects/time periods of the language sounds like. What is returned: The knowledge of what Egyptian in various time periods from 1600s to 1800s sounds like, though not what any of it means beyond maybe three to five words in not-quite-modern Egyptian, all touristy ("port", "ship", "how much", "privy?").
