And hunter is maybe supposed to be a clone or replica of Phillip`s brother so that is why the cardinal palisman likes hunter

The name is flapjack

I like this kind of stuff because personally I don’t think Philip was a heartless bastard from the start. He feels like there’s more to him. Remember when we meet him it’s long after both his early journal entries and the loss of his brother.

[@bbg....]

Nope still heartless form the new episode

@@bbg.... even in the new episode it hinted at their being more to it than he’s just an evil prick. It could be a red herring but why make a character you built up a complex flat? Any way I hope they don’t fall into the mistake of assuming the villain has to be sympathetic and likable enough to be redeemed so much so they are barely a villain or worse than satan for no other reason than he evil because he’s the villain.

@@tylerpatti9038 In Hollow mind you can see his past told trough the pictures in the background. I had to watch the episode thrice to pause and look at all of them but its made clear that Phillip murdered his brother himself.

[@dylans.1741]

I personally read it as him only returning the Palisman because of the disdain he still has for the Clawthorne Clan, as he blames their ancestor for "corrupting" Caleb. Of course, he's still willing to employ Lilith, because in his eyes, she's "one of the good ones," because she's willing to bow to his new world order

[@drepyburpb8484]

Why does no one talk about how this makes Belos a bit more human rather then a ruthless witch hunter

[@xxxhero7275]

But the real reason he probably did it is because Lilith had her palisman when she time traveled and punched him and he didn’t want to mess up the timeline that led him to power.

[@williamstark9568]

That IS actually a good point. Lillith shouldn't have her palisman. But she does. Maybe because she made it post joining the coven. She didn't appear to have a palisman yet. However if that was the case, other recruits would have them too and it was made clear they are all taken away.

[@bradyblue5269]

Belos may hate witches, but even he can't handle the hotness of season 1 lilith

[@milodoesntknow2090]

i saw someone else say that belos remembered it from the time travel episode, that could be the case

[@wolfiegirl83]

It's a common theory - and the most likely to be canon - that Belos recognized Lilith as the woman who punched him because of the time travel thing. He needed her(I don't remember for what it's been a while since i saw the full explanation) for something and so he let her keep her palisman to keep her around Plus; Belos uses her a lot for advertising, and it would be suspicious to potential recruits if they knew the emperor's coven can't keep their palisman. Then almost no one would want to join the coven.

[@jasonstarr402]

It’s cute how Caleb is so exited about Flapjack and Philip acts like he doesn’t care but he’s happy that he’s happy😊

[@makaylatubes8427]

Yeah but then he goes and kills him

[@TheLegendaryForgOfFrogLake]

@@makaylatubes8427 I think he tried to kill Evelyn and accidentally ends up killing him

[@ariesawrath6215]

this saddens me, it reminds me a little bit about my sister, when she died I wanted to prevent anyone from doing any of the things that me and her did, because it reminded me of how much happy times we had together, but then i remember who showed us those things, so i just stopped being like that.

[@fireblast133]

I’ve always heard doing something they liked to do was tough, but helped in grief.

[@Nazo-kage]

And then somehow eventually that red Robin finds its way into Hunter’s hands. Do it also makes you wonder what happened to its eye?

[@thomasp2414]

I think it is likely that he and his brother fought flapjack may have been harmed trying to protect his brother.

[@red-pet-dead]

Pretty sure it's a cardinal

[@fiery114]

Cardinal not robin

[@carlkoopa7389]

if ANY of this turns out to be true then it'll be such a whiplash feeling that I don't think I'd know how to react

[@silentshadow3894]

i mean it is weird that she would still have her staff after joining the emperor's coven so there is something there. It may not be exactly this but it will be interesting to discover what it was.

[@Hunter-ws4sk]

@@silentshadow3894 agreed

[@BubsGirl291]

And it seems that it is in fact true that Flapjack was originally Caleb’s palisman. From Belos’s reaction to Flapjack it was safe to assume that he recognized the little bird.

[@cenun5115]

and it seems almost that the artist was right with this, Flapjack was actually Caleb's palisman (Belos/Phillip's brother)

[@annaedward882]

And why flapjack loved hunter so much because hunter looked like Caleb. And also I understand why hunter is named because he's a witch hunter

[@Dulaman107]

In retrospect, Belos would’ve never been that kind

[@Sunnkster]

Headcannon: Even though below killed his brother and is terrible he still has his share of regrets.

[@DawnAnew]

Idea: What if he really didn’t, and when they were fighting, the witch (Caleb’s supposed wife, I think) accidentally killed him. *That* might be why he was on a vendetta against the witches so much, due to him blaming them for his brother’s death. Buuut that’s just a theory-

[@Sunnkster]

@@DawnAnew In the photos in hollow mind caleb had a child(?) Or some realastionship with the witch (a positive a one)

[@michealtheevilhero2340]

Honestly,I want to see some form of humanizing for Philip,no redemption because that's practically impossible now but I sort of want to see the "human" side of his character yknow? Possible guilt for literally murdering his own brother,implications of seeing how the human realm evolved and changed,that sort of thing

I think he will probably freak out that human realm became corrupt too and try to destroy it after all.

[@CartoonInCups]

In the show, people who joined the emporer's coven had their staff taken away (we all know why), BUt we see lilith with her staff, which is why this comic is nice, it gives a explanation as to why she still had her staff.
