	: I also started thinking about who was most interested in power in this show other than Caesar (who) was always about power, and Xena, of course, in certain incarnations, and Alti was the other person who actually sought power in every form. And that's how we got Alti. And I also realized Alti was a better conduit between the two worlds. She was our mystic and our shamaness in the series. And she's the only person who, through some sort of mystical power, could get you to see both images and both lifetimes, so that's how we used her. ... I think the thing about Alti that was interesting to me was everyone's lives were linked in this show. Caesar was going to crucify Xena in any lifetime, Xena was going to meet Gabrielle in any lifetime, and Alti was going to die because of Xena in any lifetime. This was a big surprise to her. She thought she'd finally won and she had conquered her own destiny, so to speak, just like Caesar thought he'd conquered his destiny by killing Brutus who'd killed him in the regular life, in the real life I guess we could say. And yet that didn't work because his destiny was to die by the unexpected hand. It was the irony of Caesar, Julius Caesar's life. So here comes Alti the trusted person he didn't suspect just like Brutus was. Well with Alti she was going to die by Xena's hand. This time she crucifies Xena and looks at her and thinks she finally won ... only to realize in the last second of her life that Gabrielle and Xena's love still was her demise just like it was always meant to be.<ref>Katherine Fugate, Interview on DVD commentary to "When Fates Collide".</ref>		: I also started thinking about who was most interested in power in this show other than Caesar (who) was always about power, and Xena, of course, in certain incarnations, and Alti was the other person who actually sought power in every form.
