This is my opinion on the relationship between the Head and Soulblighter, touching on all the Fallen Lords and their conspiracy to take over the world:
First off, it seems (seems, mind you) that the Watcher is the only one who was evil for the past two thousand years or so, and in my opinion, all he truly wants is the Total Codex. His desire for this book must have been known my the Head and Soulblighter, and they exposed it. The Head and Soulblighter, I think, we're also evil back then or had evil intentions but hid them well in order to deceive Connacht, but most importantly his reincarnation, Balor.
Now, I'm not much of a fan of the belief that Damas was in love with Shiver back during the Wind Age, but it's a possibility. Damas was a Lt. under Connacht, and I believe the Head was also a high ranking official. There may have been history between the two even earlier, but not much is said about previous ages that occurred before the Wind Age so who knows. Now, Soulblighter went to the Untamed Lands and discovered the secret of Life and the cycle of the Leveler, and between then and Connacht's disappearance, he plotted with the Head that eventually they would take over the Myth Earth once the Light was down and almost out. After they plot this, something happens where the Head's head comes off (purposely or not) and it is left for the Legion to find 1000 years later.
They wait a few hundred years until Balor returns and Soulblighter becomes a Fallen Lord, and the Head is still underground. The Legion finds the Head and it immediately tells Rabican how to kill Shiver, she perishes and now the tide turns a bit along with a growing fate in the Head by the Legion. Then, since the Head knows the Watcher wants the Total Codex more than anything and he'll be after it since he's in the area of Covenant, the Head sends the Legion to get the book which serves no real purpose for the Legion besides making the Watcher really peeved, and now the Watcher is following the Legion back towards the Cloudspine in hopes of catching them and grabbing the book. Remember, Soulblighter shows up in the level "Escape from Covenant" and simply watches the Legion escape with the Codex, as if to make sure his plan of having the Watcher follow the Legion is going into affect. Meanwhile, Soulblighter tells the Deceiver the area where the Watcher's arm is located. Now, the Deceiver is in Silver mines looking for the arm when the Legion followed by his most hated enemy the Watcher arrives. As you can imagine, the Watcher is pretty mad at the Deceiver (for any of the reasons we have established in this forum) and get's even more pissed now that the he is looking for his arm and he clashes with him, and the Deceiver is not killed, but still eliminated in the war. Now, all Soulblighter and the Head have to worry about is the Watcher and Balor.
The Head tells the Legion to use the bone of the Watcher's arm to tip the arrows and to ensure the Legion reached the Watcher to hit him with an arrow, Soulblighter actually did something and pushed his forces at the rear of the Legion, forcing them to head into the Watcher's army and give them a reason to eliminate the Watcher immediately. The nail with the arrow and the Watcher is killed(?) and now only Balor is in the way of Soulblighter and the Head. The Head tells the Legion where to find an Eblis stone to defeat Balor, and the Legion kills him as well. Not once does the Head tell the Legion how to defeat Soulblighter or anything about his weaknesses. Finally, the Head ends his fun by starting a Civil war in the West, ensuring Soulblighter will have time to build up a new army while things get straightened out back in the West by Alric. Where is the Head now? No clue. Soulblighter, figuring he is the only one left, resurrects Shiver in order to use her power, but didn't expect the Deceiver to show up. The Deceiver, who does not like Shiver for some reason, kills her. Then the Legion defeats Soulblighter...Yipee! End of story? Not by a long shot, but we'll have to wait and see. Perhaps there is a love between Shiver and Damas or someone, but I don't want to even touch on it because I've talked enough. :)
Please, feedback wanted...
