: Like I said before, those threads get a little long and
: too long when they near the bottom of the board.
: Posting up a new idea of mine on a new thread.
: This is something that came to me recently and its kind
: of a wild theory. Im sure many will reject it quickly
: enough, but try to keep an open mind when reading
: below.
: (Theory number one)Have we ever considered that the head
: may not be on either side of the Darkness or Light
: forces? He may be just serving himself, and acting on
: vengeance or spite.
: I am going to believe that he was a commander under
: Connacht at one time. Seems that all the other fallen
: lords or evil-minded beings who have survived years
: upon hundreds of years, served Connacht in some way.
: This guy may still be loyal to Connacht, and despise
: Balor for what he is doing now. If you were dedicated
: enough to follow Connacht and fight off the myrkridia
: in another age, something drastic must happen for you
: to totally switch sides and become the very thing you
: fought so many years ago. So this head may be quite
: pissed at all those Fallen Lords who are following
: Balor. The head might see an opportunity to exact
: vengeance on those who wronged him and his beliefs,
: and have an army of desperate soldiers who are ready
: to follow his advice. The head may not even care what
: happens to the Light's forces as long as he sees his
: old enemies tremble and fall.
: OR (theory number two)the head may be just jealous and
: angry that he was not raised as a Fallen Lord to serve
: Balor. He definately has a connection with the other
: Fallen Lords in some way, and if he cant be apart of
: the undead army, he may as well just find other ways
: to knock off those were given power by Balor. You
: gotta admit that being buried under lots of sand and
: rock for hundreds of years will turn you bitter and
: vengeful at a point.
: Well, tell me what you think. I am probably more
: convinced with theory number one, but both could be
: way off the mark as well. =)

Well, I kinda have to bring up a point that I brought up last night. The theory is totally unsupported, but it's kinda interesting (I think)
Your second theory, with the head being jealous, is what my theory supports. OK, here we go...
The Faceless man is one of those fallen lords we don't see. We all know that. None of use really know anything about him, though. So he's probably called the "faceless man" because nobody can see his face, right? If nobody can see his face, than it's possible that he has nothing to hold the face on (i.e. a head, therefor he could be headless). What if The Head is the head that the Faceless Man doesn't have?
If I were the head, and I saw that my body was a really powerful sorcerer that had been raised from the dead by the man I once served, and he didn't even take the time to reunite me with my body so it could be a complete sorcerer, I'd be pissed. Just think: here's a head that's buried somewhere in the desert, and its body is off somewhere kicking ass. This head is not too happy that it's not getting part of the action. So the head allies with the people that are willing to listen to it. During this time, the head gains the Nine's trust by giving them information on how to kill fallen lords.
After the Head has placed itself in a powerful position. It's next step is to start helping Balor destroy the Nine from within. He's just trying to get his body back, so maybe if Balor notices that the Head is doing well, he'll reattach it to the Faceless Man. We all know how the story turns out... The head disappears after it's revolution in the West. Where does the head go? Could it have been reunited with its body?
Wow, that was the most interesting thought out of my head today.
Feel free to criticize/worship/argue with this idea.
