"In Infinity, it's because Durandal was crippled and nearly dead,

and his "primal pattern" was forcibly inserted into Thoth and just sort

of took over as the dominant personality, but retaining many Thoth

like characteristics at the same time. "


I'm pursuing the elseverse-esk possibility of connecting M2/Minf with the Rubicon timeline of a divorced Thoth and Durandal, as some know.


"It's possible that Durandal could have purged Thoth out, but 

didn't because thus enlightened realized that he was better for

having the Thoth parts in him; "[snip]


Good points throughout Forrest - an idea I believe that will be extended to other constructs interacting with one such as Thoth.

Your mention of one entity being able to "purge" the other connects to a concept that is at work within WMaiD. Since it's only Durandal's "primal pattern" that was merged into Thoth - it's apparent to me that Thoth; if unmerged; would still have operational processes functioning enough to become whole again. Durandal would be like an intelligent, if ambitious severed limb. An interesting notion of what two 1/2 Durandal patterns would create, no? : D

The process of unmerging I believed could involve a gradual polarization of the personalities - after a period of simultaneous control by both constructs over the same persona.
To my ends - I'd have Durandal eventually subjugate Thoth, at least initially. It isn’t too far of a stretch however to believe Thoth would play the part of the Subordinate in order to manipulate events into a state of Jjaro - balance. Perhaps in doing so, he would achieve his ultimate destiny... : )
