He hates the entity like the survivors doesn't he?

    The entity is known to torture its killers into submission or make deals they can't deny and the observer was locked a long time in his tower with his own thoughts and developed some dark thoughts if you read his lore.. Maybe the entity has an offer for him he can't deny like blight

    The scenario I’m picturing is he subconsciously manifests an evil version of himself like a creature from the id. And so you end up having him potentially as both a survivor and a killer fighting each other.

    It's possible, in the recent lore cinematics it seems like the Observer is losing control.

    What makes you think the Watcher might be a killer ?

    People think the entity would force him into servitude, like it did to The Trapper.

    What I'm wondering is if he would be a killer or a survivor. Forced servitude would definitely be a punishment I could see the Entity doing, as a way to humiliate him maybe. But I don't know if that's more likely than him being eternally hunted down and sacrificed over and over again. I feel like whichever one The Entity sees as a greater punishment is more likely, but I'm not sure which that would be.

    Unless it's in some tome I think it's just fan-fiction people are trying to pass off as lore. It happens to a lot of games.

    I always got the vibe that the Observer was neutral in the realm. That he is just there to watch. You know? Like a voyeur, a pervert, a peeping-tom. 😅

    I'm pretty sure Blight is the more logical comparison. Not only has he been both a Survivor and a Killer - he's canonically one of the few characters who managed to escape the entity if I'm not mistaken [?].

    I think he and Vigo did, but the way it is mentioned in the lore is that Vigo managed to roam through the Void and come back using the same serum as Blight.
