Ehhh I was rewatching the first dolorem animatic (Daniel in the Den fuckin VIBESS!!!) by @/vibesoda and i paused on this frame:

Now this frame is k4 looking at the portraits of the past rulers of HBG.

The one on the end is obviously Couri (his little frown :,)) which would suggest that the portraits are in chronological order, which makes sense of course.

However, in the book when the old king is mentioned, the book gives a more elderly description of the king, so i’d imagine the old king looks more like:

This guy over here

So that leaves the question:

Who the hell is this guy?

We should also note that this portrait was drawn with out eyes (unlike the previous one) despite not having anything covering theyre eyes (like Couri’s).

So who do I think it is? Well…..

…........

....…you can kinda see it…...

well at least i do, and yes I know this is the biggest stretch i could ever pull but it’s just a theory :D

And just to finish said theory off, the reason why Couri and the others may not have known abt Marcus (in addition to Nerdi and Geo who were probably his prince and guard/advisor(?) respectively), is because the old king probably crowned him before they came along and then he abdicated and went off the grid because something happened and the old king who was still alive and well just retook his place in the throne until he could find someone else to take his place.

And even if it isn't Marcus, i'll bet that its someone in HBG >:3.............................maybe..

Now, there are A LOT of holea in this theory that I just can’t fill. For one the picture in the middle could’ve just been a picture of the old king when he was younger, and if there really was a picture of an old king in the hallway of the castle, wouldn’t Couri and K4 have searched it up by now?

I’m sure there more questions but that’s it for now.

And of course there’s the very real and extremely probable possibility that I got the whole thing wrong, but oh well I had a eureka moment so I had to write about it. K bye
