Theory On The Collector
Additionally, with the Godmaster update the description of The Collector is:
What could this imply? Well also taking into account that a multitude of
the creatures captive in jars within the Tower of Love is not just solely
grubs, this could mean that The Collector was given the single purpose
by the Pale King to “Protect”, the kingdom at least. Though it may have
taken this to its very own meaning. Timeline wise, given its design, it seemed to be
created as a solution to the infection, probably before the creation of Vessels. Its
features are nearly identical to the Kingsmoulds most likely because of the fact that
Pale King decided to reuse his Kingsmould mould but give it minor modifications. Pale
King’s reasoning for doing so could stem from the time constraint of saving the
kingdom that he was in. After receiving its order to protect, The Collector possibly
decided that the best way to protect this kingdom was to trap its inhabitants in glass
jars, which seems to be proven to work as seen by its effect on keeping the grubs alive
and uninfected. When or how it lost its bindings, or even if it had bindings, to begin
with, is unknown and irrelevant to the fact that its behaviour was the cause of it getting
locked away within the Tower of Love.
How did this lead to the death of the original collector? Well, his Dream Nail dialogue
in Queen’s Gardens says:
“A shadow that sometimes flits through the caverns, making strange noises to itself.”
How would this be possible if the void construct were locked away because it was
deemed mad? All the way back during Pale King’s rule no less. Well to restate, it was
the original collector who had an obsession with grubs, and now he also had this
newcomer to his home, so what was he to do with it? Well, of course, to send it to do
his bidding, and so the void construct was probably sent out to trap grubs in jars
supplied. While the Void Being was out the collector himself busily tracked down the
location of each grub and made a map. This may seem hard to believe but never has
any void construct known to be capable of the ability to write or otherwise, so who else
could have sat down at that desk to work out a complicated map?
