I have a theory

And its that McPherson, was in on Walter Sykes' plan.

OK, so Sykes was planning this attack for years, he could have found out about McPherson's black balling, and recruited him, which is when McPherson reappeared. Now McPherson would have known about HG Wells, and unless I'm mistaken, her involvement in his plan was unneeded. Sykes needed HG, maybe she wasn't actually meant to go crazy, and try to destroy the world, but she was released for a reason.

McPherson left Artie the Phoenix, so he could survive, and left the pocket watch for him, knowing that he would probably either die, or be bronzed, and he left it, because I think that he regretted what he did. And left it so when the plan happened, if it wasn't stopped, he could try to erase it.

Well I while I like your theory there is no way that McPherson planned or wanted to be betrayed by H.G. which led to his death.

It seems more likely that McPherson knew of the Minoan Trident and somehow knew that H.G. hid it centuries ago as well as the whereabouts of the other pieces of the trident. Makes more sense to think that he was using H.G. to either succeed in world domination or at least make money off of the trident.

We always felt that it was a young McPherson who recruited Walter after he and Artie took away Walter's puppet strings. Using and cultivating Walter's newly created dark side he would become McPherson's perfect driven henchman since Walter would believe they had the same goal. That would then account for how Walter had such knowledge of W13,artifacts,regents,agents,etc.

McPherson didn't regret anything, he was simply covering (almost)all bases. If he didn't get the chance to kill Walter right before Walter could effectively destroy W13, Atrie's use of the watch would give McPherson a second chance.

James just didn't plan on getting killed by H.G., like you said!

He was such a damn good villian. His love/hate relationship with Artie was just great!
