: IF he was bent to Balor's will then he would be a Fallen

Exactly. I once thought that I had FINALLY discovered who the Head was- the 6th Fallen Lord. But, of course, the Nine would probably know the head WAS the 6th evil sorceror, or at least one of the soldiers or Heron Guards/JMan would suspect something. I won't even bring up my "other" thought... (okay, okay- I thought that perhaps the Head had a Helmet he lost... so the helmet would make his visage appear different... Lame, I know).
OR!
FAR-FETCHED THEORY-
Maybe the head is indeed Balor gone back in time! Maybe the Great Devoid is really a time machine! THe magics laying dormant for so many thousands of years by the mysterious Callieach morphed into time machines.

Or maybe the Dark Gods had something to do with it.
