Swain as he appears on Noah's Twitpic during the February 14th Livestream. thelover♘
Also Known as: White Knight, The Lover
Vessel: Sebastian Kraus
Swain is a member of the Collective acting as an agent of Administrator. He is shown wearing a grinning theater mask and an old military uniform. Swain's name means "lover" or "suitor" in German. In DEATHTRAPEXODUS, it is shown that he wears another "sad" theater mask under the "happy" one.
Appearances
- He appears in the Collective group shot in HAPPYBIRTHDAY, to the Observer's left.
- He is described by the Observer as "thelover".
- The chess piece he represents is the White Knight.
- He reveals himself on-camera in DEATHTRAPEXDODUS, where he is seen holding the journal up to the camera surrounded by Firebrand's text.
- In Milo's journal entry "safe", Swain's mask is revealed to be one of the many objects contained within Mary Asher's safe (owned by Karl Maxwell at this point).
Identity
- In the video "DEATHTRAPEXODUS", Swain is holding Sebastian's journal. It was later confirmed on the creator's out-of-game tumblr that Sebastian Kraus is Swain's vessel.
Speculation
- Swain's outfit resembles an old European soldier uniform. This likely indicates that he was around during the World War II era along with other members of the Collective.
- Swain's vessel could be:
- Sebastian Kraus, the journal's writer.
- Robert Asher. Being the ex-husband of Mary Asher, who is already a Collective member herself, this would give a fitting explanation for his title, "the Lover".(This has been disproven.)
- Noah's friend Edward.(This has been disproven.)
- John Fletcher.(This has been disproven)
