Discussion Headon

[arrowofsky]

Quite an enigmatic character, he is also very powerful. So what do we have now we came 652 main and 34 spinoff chapters:
->He drags people around the tower to let them climb.
->He greets irregulars, too, though a bit different. Urek was greeted and summoned (with some regrets), while Baam shouldered the door, and Rachel was lighted.
->He is approachable if you see him by eye, Yuri was even sort of handling him. He also looks shabby compared to other admins we have seen up to far.
->He carry a thing that gives off a circus balance on ropes, maybe meaning keeper of the balance in ToG?
->He is involved in Rachel business, and iirc also on Enkidu. He likes scheming and stuff, obviously.
->He seems to be the only entity that can go everywhere in the ToG, and potentially upper floors than 134.

Admins (or Guardians) are generally like NPCs, setting balance, shinsoo control in their own floor and never getting to any other place, God of Guardian is even more of an NPC. Headon is obviously not. So,

>> If somehow everything is collected and Zahard, willingly or unwillingly accepts opening a gate to 135, will Headon be OK with it? I have a hunch that Headon has a thing in this.
>> Does Headon also have a limit on where he can function?
>> Is there really a wish granter up above and maybe something like Mago that Headon put there himself?
>> Is he in a hierarchy too? Is he alone, or with friends and stuff?
>> Is Headon also in a role, like being the antibody of ToG, to keep the flow of regulars and test completions so that the system functions?

Headon is the most important guardian of the Tower.


The strongest too.


Is stated to hold prejudice and grudges which SIU stated wasn't normal for a guardian.


But for all his machinations, Headon isn't against anyone leaving the Tower, they're all welcome to do so but he is fine with messing around with people's fates while they're inside the Tower.


He's very heavily messed with Rachel's, kickstarted Baam's in a certain direction that he liked and the only fates he's shown not interfering in or manipulating is Enryu, Phantaminum obviously and then Urek.



One very strong theory of mine is that Headon is responsible for shaping the Great warriors into what they became today.

Obviously never directly but it's sure he was always in the background pulling strings and making deals.


The most blatant one we've seen being the one with Enkidu, it was a deal that came out of nowhere and logically has no reason to happen because everybody makes wishes in the Tower all the time yet the one he answered was Enkidu.


The catalyst to one of the most damning events that occurred to the Great warriors causing an even greater split.




In the end there's also something too, Headon is the guardians Tower and is to protect the Tower from external threats which he showed with Urek and also in the blog posts is rumored to be hunting for Enryu.



The only reason I can presume as to why he doesn't dislike Phantaminum is because the Tower itself told him to stay out of it this time which would make sense because Phantaminum is Phantaminum.


But then again, even though he's recognized and has a dislike for both Urek and Enryu, there's also Baam whom is stated in the start that he could potentially end the Tower also.


But yet he says Baam is good for the Tower in a way that Enryu and Urek supposedly aren't.


I can't figure out exactly how what's good and what's bad for the Tower is measured, but this one thing about Headon that interests me also.



Either way Headon is a fun puppet master.

Oh yeah, one thing I'm absolutely sure of also is that Headon is the true final villain for Baam himself.


The narrative with him is much, MUCH stronger than anything that can be conceived for Zahard.



In fact thinking about it clearly, V is in fact the one who's got more ties to Zahard than Baam in their fates.



The Baam that Zahard killed isn't the same Baam Arlene gave birth to on the 25th Night so there's no vengeance to be had, there's nothing except just......Baam.


Supposedly V is the one who was to come in Baam's body to fulfill some prophecy as the promised one.


Baam, the personality we have now might actually have been a complete accident that awoke before V could.


But that also makes him the rightful owner of his body as the first one

Headon is the largest piece of the puzzle that makes up the tower. If Zahard is the King and the administrators are the Aces, Headon represents the Joker. That unpredictable card that has the potential to change everything. Always plotting. I believe Headon knew that no one from the FHs or great warriors could reach the top of the tower. Perhaps V? because he was the chosen one who discovered the rice pot and received the blue flame. There must be a reason why V and Arlene wanted to climb past 134th while the rest of the FHs did not. Something grand, perhaps their selfish desires, as Arlene wanted to see the stars.

For the time being, all I know is that Headon is firmly in the FUG camp because he wants to bring down FHs, the empire, and Zahard. We've seen this several times throughout the story. Do you remember when an administrator transported Hansung Yu and Evankhell into Karaka's heart? It was weird. Why would the administrators do this? This means that admins are very much following Headon's orders, and they want Baam to be the reason the empire falls. Even with Enkidu's backstory, we can see that he is one of the catalysts for the rift, as well as one of the reasons V returns. This is a well-thought-out plan from FUG, and they could not have done it without Headon's guidance.

I am even convinced now that V's entire plan was actually Headon's idea, based on the premise of "chosen one." He made V believe he was the one, but that was also one of his schemes, because clearly it is Baam. I believe Headon is similar to Enryu, who is OG's messenger. I'm not sure if this is the same OG or another.

I want you to understand that the entire purpose of the tower is to climb. Zahard put an end to that, preventing the civilization inside the tower from evolving as far as it could. Perhaps this was one of the tower's purposes.
I genuinely believe that a wish is granted at the top. I truly believe that. Just as there is always a reward for completing a difficult dungeon, there must be some reward for this story and climbing the tower. Do you feel me?

Headon is there to supervise the tower's operations, so Zahard's decision to stop the climb effectively ended the tower's main purpose. As a result, everything Headon does after that is aimed at restoring nature's order. That is what I believe. If the tower's original purpose is to become an axis and fight a monster like Phanta, who is also an axis, I can understand why Headon is doing what he is, especially in terms of Baam's climb and journey. If Baam is essentially the OG power's reincarnate, destined to ascend and become a being capable of standing in front of Phanta and defeating him, then this entire plan makes sense, wouldn't you say?

Headon is the strongest and most important Admin, he is like the "God of the Tower" seeing how the scene with Enkidu was executed.

He should have no limits at all and he encourages people to go to the top. We don't know who created the Tower and what it was made for but since he is the first Admin, it's probably something that he wants. I don't think he is pro-Zahard and it's likely that he was the one Gustang was discussing with, when he said that Rachel was his secret weapon.

No idea if there is a wish granter or not, but that's the easiest way to motivate people to climb.

Does Headon also have a limit on where he can function?

I think Headon cannot directly interfere with towards tower's people. For ex - If he wants to kill someone, he cannot do it as the tower won't allow him to. He can, however indirectly set up a incident where that person dies

Is there really a wish granter up above and maybe something like Mago that Headon put there himself?

Probably not.

Is he in a hierarchy too? Is he alone, or with friends and stuff?

I don't think so

Is Headon also in a role, like being the antibody of ToG, to keep the flow of regulars and test completions so that the system functions?

I think his role is to make sure that tower keeps functioning. That's why when GW's stopped climbing, he asked for thier children to act as climbers.


My Theory is -

Headon is the one who messed up the GW's; And that's because he DOES NOT want them to climb the tower.

We know that Tower exists to serve to create a axis, and that everything exists for that sake. It's possible that after someone reach the top, everyone, including Headon himself disappeares, and he wants to avoid it; He wants to acts as a God himself and keep everyone trapped in the fishbowl


Reason to belive this - Headon was the one who made enkidu into someone who can climb the tower, and enkidu was the one who destroyed GW's in a way, and makes sure that other GWs side with Zahard during his war with Arlene.

Of course it was Zahard's plan in the first place to use enkidu to manipulate others into siding with him, but I think Headon assisted him, in a way which fulfills his own wishes
Do not forget his evil smirk when he was choosing enkidu, That definitely means something.

I belive Headon has a guide-like ability as well. But much stronger.
I am sure that he manipulated Zahard's vision or maybe Arlene, or maybe both to get them to a war.

Maybe since Zahard has just acquired his fate manipulating powers at that time, he didn't know how to use them at that point and headon used it to his advantage?
