>>82519662it's been a while but iirc he was actually immortal and he was meant to be his successor because he's a fellow immortal, that is, they can only be killed by each other. the manipulation and chirico's luck are not mutually exclusive; events will always change slightly to prevent normal people from killing chirico and that's not wiseman's fault. him being a solid snake-esque soldier who's seen a thousand battles really loses its impact if this is not true.
