I mean, surely John has a record somewhere, he did say that he had a passport and stuff, he couldn't have gone through university without some kind of paper trail or identification.

So when Lucas/John told Harry the name, why didn't he go find out more information?

Interesting point. John Bateman would seem to me to be a very common name. Very nondescript. I know this is moving into the speculation thread somewhat but what if that is the reason Lucas is using it? It being difficult for someone to trace.

If Lucas really was an evil killer as Vaughn revealed, why did Lucas spend all that time in prison in Russia? For a man of few scruples, even if he does have a duel personality, why didn't he just give the Russians what they wanted? If he killed Lucas North and showed no emotion about his death, why would you suddenly feel guilty and waste 8 years of your life locked in a cell?

I also have quite a problem believing that Lucas North would have disclosed his true intentions about joining MI5 to John Bateman who was just a mate who he worked with in a casino.
