Prismonarch Nimis and Sound Master Byte

They’re the same person.

Both Nimis and Byte have been theorised to be the star host, so seeing them “together” is strange, but all the evidence just points to a ‘double life’ situation. After some discussion with other theorists, Nimis is most likely a last name meaning “excessive”, which means if they (byte and nimis) are separate people, the Prismonarch is definitely the host of gluttony. Erios is still likely the first name of the star host, and Byte is clearly just a stage name.

The Prismonarch on their own has also been shown to have star shaped eyes, though their design makes it difficult to tell where in the possession stage they are. In the image below, we can see Prismonarch Nimis’s eyes clear as day. Typically in hosts, the pupils are the part with the shape/colour, and coloured pupils mean possession.

More evidence for them being the same person is the original silhouette of the Star host being this (below), which matches perfectly to Nimis’s hair, yet now that we’ve seen Byte, they are the one replacing the silhouette. The star being the outline of the picture also means that whoever is revealed in this place is the star host. 

The stage after possession of a host is waiting for them to make a pact with their demon, which there is no way of knowing if Nimis has. Green skin is strange, but Gil naturally has blue skin and we have no reference point of what Nimis might’ve used to look like. Therefore we can’t make any predictions on if they’ve made a pact or not with Gluttony. (Speaking of which, I can’t wait to meet more demons.)

Maggie And Erios

It’s been an expectation for a while that Maggie will not get along with Erios at first but will eventually grow to like them. An interesting twist in that tale can be made now though, under the assumption that Erios is living a double life. 

Due to the “prism-” prefix being so common and the amount of triangle/pyramid designs in Excessa, it’s safe to assume that when Maggie arrives she will be (to some extent) idolised. Potentially even by the Prismonarch themself, Erios Nimis. If that is the case, Maggie will likely enjoy the attention and become fond of Nimis. On the other side of things, though, she will probably have a distaste for how loud and wild Byte is, which will be an interesting scene whenever it’s revealed that these two people are the same person.

Bonus Thing (about my last post)

In my last post I mention how Byte has titan-like bandages on their neck and torso which obscures all of their skin. Along with the helmet, Byte is able to maintain complete anonymity through all of the coverage. I wanted to make a follow up point to this regard because I had initially thought they were a high ranking TiTAN follower, but I think Byte wraps the bandages themself to maintain this anonymous disguise, since their naturally green skin is very recognisable. The TiTAN thing might just be a coincidence, but it also could be that Byte is pretending to be a high ranking follower just for the perks that come with it.
