The Identity of the “Giant Head Resonant” Theory

before anything else, just know i’m getting all this info from this video in particular, in combination with everything Remedy has officially said about what the Resonants are previously

after defeating the G.H.R (Giant Head Resonant), Dylan says this:

“You were human once, weren’t you? Something turned you into… this.”

so basically, all of the Resonants are “people of power” there were invaded by the Patterning and turned into Resonants, yes?

i personally theorize that before the Patterning invaded Manhattan, the G.H.R was an artist named Cassia Nomura that either worked at or had an exhibition for the art gallery that Dylan enters before fighting the G.H.R.

Remedy once stated that all of the Resonants are designed around a theme, with the Fire Resonant in particular being based around heat (source listed below) and i personally theorize that the G.H.Rs theme is art, and who else to be represented through this than an actual artist

the G.H.R itself is a cracked mask, and masks are a significant art form. furthermore, there are these weird artistic symbols that Cassia most definitely created that surround the battlefield where the fight between Dylan and the Resonant take place, the environment where the G.H.R first kills the Hiss as seen in the demo, and throughout the entire art gallery that Dylan enters before fighting the G.H.R
