Two quick questions.

1. Do all versions of a character share identifiers? (For instance, Eli the Preist (Pi) does not have "Judge" in his identifiers, while the RoA version does)

2. If an evil character with an evil ability is converted, and thus loses his special ability, does he count as having "no special ability" for cards like Windows of Narrow Light? What if the ability is "If blocking", and so doesn't carry over even if it otherwise would?

1. All versions of the same character always have all of the same identifiers. Red Peter is considered "Apostle, Jerusalem, Prophet, and Disciple" just like the clay one even though he doesn't have any of those printed identifiers. Sometimes characters are confirmed to be a certain identifier after they've been printed (like Eli the Priest) and other times identifiers don't have any impact on the game until cards printed later (like Peter being from Jerusalem).

2. If a character has an ability printed on it, it has a special ability for cards that reference having none, regardless of conversion or any other factors.

Excellent. Thank you both.
