Hmmm.

“He will face ramifications from killing Red John,” says Bruno Heller, who created the show, “and that impacts his ability to remain in law enforcement.”

In the larger picture, though, Heller says the show feels a sense of
liberation. Killing Red John “removes the darkness that was always
around the edge,” he says.

So a show that has always had a strong undercurrent of humor now may have more.

“We won’t dwell on Red John,” says Baker. “Jane will focus more on
questions like, ‘What do I have to live for? What do I do now?’ ”

Some fans have speculated that “The Mentalist” may end after this
season, so perhaps Heller and Baker wanted to finish the Red John arc
and give themselves half a season for an epilogue that obviously
interests them.

Heller doesn’t frame it like that.

“The way to truly surprise people,” he says, “is to do something before they think you’ll do it.”

"He is Mar" is an "Easter Egg" for the viewers, not a clue for Patrick Jane.

I noticed awhile back that there was no middle line to make the 'H" in "He," so the first part actually reads 'IIe'.  I never bought in too much that a dying person would bother to write "who is" so I figured it must be an address (ie. Apartment 2e, 15 Martin St.), or a Bible verse (ie. 2nd chapter Mark, verse 15), or a reference to a file number, work of William Blake or a date (ie. 15th of March/Ides of March).

But...

After the McAllister reveal, I had a hunch and went back and looked at his episode.  It is episode 2 (Roman numeral II), so that explains the IIe (2 episode).  But what about the rest, it isn't "is mar(s), is Mashburn, is many, or any of the others." It should be read 15 Mar(k), as in 15 second mark (using Mar instead of Sec or even spelling out Mark because it would have been too easily solvable, it makes sense to be cryptic with an Easter egg, not if you are a dying character giving an honest hint).

Exactly 15 seconds (not roughly, but exactly 15 seconds) after the title sequence fades out the camera pans and McAllister's face enters the shot.

That would support Heller's prior statements saying he knew who Red John was from day one, possibly he backed off of that so newer characters seemed more plausible to be considered for Red John?
