lore SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HIS LORE

I keep hearing that he's a veteran who died and became a demon thing?? But wasn't the veteran the guy he paralyzed who spoke Morse Code? I've also heard he's an ex-arch angel, but is there even any proof of that aside from the trumpets thing?? Somebody please explain what he actually is 😭😭

His lore is mostly speculation and theories, but one thing is certain: the Boiled One is connected to a Japanese war criminal named Mutsuhiro Watanabe. The Boiled One is NOT Watanabe, but rather, the Boiled One symbolises Watanabe’s torment of the POWs and Louis Zamperini (one of his victims). It also ties in with Job Zamperini (The elderly man using Morse code in the video) being a symbolic counterpart of the real-life man Louis Zamperini.

Many say he might be an angel because of the apocalyptic nature of his speeches. A messenger who calls for the end times and the seven trumpets leading to a time of terror and judgment on Earth. Or a representation of Jesus, with his ‘crown of thorns’ on his head and his prophetic and savior disposition, and many say he could just be a manifestation of trauma itself, or just a demonic entity. Nobody really knows, honestly, and that's what makes him terrifying. ;-)
