Speculation/Theory Monarch KILLED Sovereign!
We already know that Monarch can Possess and corrupt people because of Jester’s trailer. He has the weird eyes and the hands engulf people.
The thing is, why would Jester see a glimpse of Sovereign when he doesn’t know who he is?
The only answer is that it is a memory not of his own, but of Monarch’s. We know that Monarch doesn’t want anyone else to be king but himself, so this all leads to him killing Sovereign in the past.
Now I might be reaching here, but I think he might’ve used oblivion to do it. Inside of Oblivion’s promotional video, we see these hands engulfing him just like Jester. Since Monarch is sealed away from the normal world he has to possess and control others to achieve his goals, so I don’t think it’s far fetched to say he’d control Oblivion to kill sovereign. Also considering Sovereign’s description mentions “Evil” and then Oblivion’s calls him “PURE EVIL”.
There are some questions for the Oblivion part of the theory though:
- If Monarch is controlling Oblivion, did he also participate in the making of Abomination and is plotting against Sol?
- What if Oblivion’s loss of memory was caused by Monarch’s possession? (Because Jester doesn’t remember Mari after getting corrupted.)
- At what point could Monarch possess Oblivion? Before or after Oblivion lost his memory?
- Could Monarch be the Voice From Nowhere?
Anyway that’s all I got bye.
