In My Opinion this is the most interesting character in the movie.

He does BY FAR the most forshadowing of any of the main characters. often the lines which on the surface seem foolish have deeper meaning.

"We are not who we are" is a dual reference to both the fact they he knew they had been drugged and were acting differantly, and also that Marty is not "The Fool" as he is chosen to be.

Marty's character is actually the achetype "Hero" or "Prophet".. "The Choosen One" if you will. he could also arguably be a Virgin.

when Jules mentions being sweet with Marty he is defensive and says they "Made out" once, he clearly had feelings for her. given that he didn't sleep with somebody he cared that much about and knew that long, it is unlikely he slept with strangers - or sex would likely no longer be as sacred to him. (thats just conjecture - but so is saying he isn't a virgin, because he never explicitly states he isn't).

it's also possible the ancient one would be unable to defeat him, and his sacrafice would destroy them forever. he is basically a Joesph Campbell style adaptation of a mythological hero. :D
