This perfect background material. Especially with regards to Oliver and Methos staying away and what would have happened had they met. And Oliver could have been growing bored, especially since he had become and ugly guy when surely he had been a very handsome Homo Erectus who though absurdly powerful couldn't use that because of boredom. And he must have gotten especially bored once libraries went into the church's control being located in Holy Ground. Poor guy. he can't cut loose and party and has to do his plotting the old fashioned way, moving pawns around and with so few people to talk too... everyone who could understand him was either sleeping for a few centuries like the Mother or people who if ever met personally again would almost certainly kill each other.
Oh yes, I can see Silas doing that so clearly, they'd be treated well so long as they were animals if they shifted then they were fair game for Caspian's fun or for the whatever games they played with their slaves. The Foxes ended up being a carefully cultivated and controlled species for so long that they became it. The bloodline being purified with every new slaves he took he thought might fit his vision for them.
There is the chance he would lose the holyness and she the homicidal tendencies... why burn a bridge when you can maintain it after all?
In any case can you picture them getting together and discussing or remembering the past over the conversation... you something like "well whenever I burned Babylon I always thought of you" or "I think I saw you during massacre at XXX" and the other (or someone else) is surprised and says "wait a minute that was you?"
You know that likely during the dark ages they were all living in comfort in the east or in the peninsula where there was comfort and beautiful things plenty.
