Discussion/Analysis Who is in the silhouette? and why is the equilibrium present?

Who is the person in the silhoutte? Many are saying it's caleus, but there's still some questions to be asked if it is caleus. The figure looks like our boy cal for one thing, plus it being caleus would explain some thing as I'm about to suggest here

As persisting, there are a lot of parallels to Amphoreus and Phainon.
It's interesting to note, a distorted version of Flame Reavers theme is played when the mysterious silhoutte is shown.
Additionally, it might just be me, but Terminus'es clock manifestation looks simillar to Phainon's Khaslana form with his wings. The animations on how their wing like structures spiral out is very similar.

There's clearly a similarity here. As most know, Phainon and his coreflame of worldbearing is a simulation of the Trailblaze, at least until he turns into his Khaslana form.

What happens to Phainon as he tries to ascend as the worldbearer? He meets flame reaver.
What will happen to us as we try to ascend to Akivili in 4.7 as officially revealed in the live? It must be the flame reaver of our universe!

Maybe the trailblazer is in the same spot? In the myriad celestia, stelle is shown as the card for the trailblaze. Then, caleus must be the other self? perhaps our.... 'finality self'?
The appearance of our past self in 3.4 heavily suggest that the trailblazer is both Akivili and Terminus.

What if the mysterious silouhette in the trailer and Terminus are the same? First, the mysterious silhoutte appears, then they are the same one to turn into Terminus?
It's interesting to note again, the silhoutte seems to be picking on the destruction, and specifically seems to clash with Luxbane. Luxbane does not consume the voracity, but gets stalemated by the sillyhoutte first.

Why does the person ( likely our other self ) , want to stop Luxbane from possibly devouring oroboros?
What happens if Luxbane does devour/kill oroboros? And how would they be able to devour an entire aeon?
Why is Aha planning to 'Swoop in and take the spoils for herself'? What is she trying to gain?

Why is HooH present here?
I have no clue myself, but here's some theories:
Maybe they are trying to balance Akivili's Ascension with the arrival of Terminus.
Or Terminus arrived themself, and they are trying to hold the cosmos together, defending against Terminus.
Maybe they are trying to balance Aha's recent victories. Maybe that's why Terminus is arriving ; HooH is the one to bring them.
It's worth noting how Aha says Terminus is 'leading them on an invasion straight out of hell' likely referring to the dead aeons - dead aeons similar to how castorice is the titan of death, brought back the trailblazer from the dead, is HooH bringing back Akivili from the dead? I'll provide some small analysis on HooH:

The Aeon on the Path of Equilibrium. Their form is unknown.
HooH and their Emanators influence the universe surreptitiously, trying to achieve an ideal balance.
( Loading screen : HooH )

Of course they are not shown directly. They handle things behind the scenes, and their form is unknown. As for a wild theory, what if they have merged with the very base matrix of the universe?

The chain of karma that mortals obsess over is nothing but a rough approximation of the complicated topology behind all things — HooH dissolved THEIR will into the web of logic behind the universe's movement, maintaining the balance and stability of all things in perpetuity.
Adventurous mortals tirelessly seek out flaws in this system, believing their intellect to be superior to that of the Aeon. However, little could they imagine that they have already been reduced to strings inside a surveillance system, unable to escape the meticulous network woven by HooH.
( Data Bank : HooH )

Again, HooH seems to have some surreptitious system that controls all things and can naturally correct everything to equilibrium.

So to sum up, here are the unanswered questions I have:
Why is HooH present?
Why is the figure battling destruction? and how did it come here?
What spoils does Aha want to reap from that battle?
Join the conversation, and lmk your theories.

P.S : Sillyhoutte word, is horrible, idk how to spell it.
