New Killer Speculation

Someone had mentioned that in Tome 10 there was a killer known as "The Horror" that was an amalgamation of parts made by every military manufacturer and was essentially the manifestation of modern war. The name of the leaked killer, whether final or not, is "The Skull Merchant" which sounds like an allusion to the term "Merchant of Death" or an arms dealer which feels like it ties in very heavily with the themes presented in that tome. I'm not sure if there's some kind of direct correlation or it's more coincidental however given how prominently that logo from the teaser has been corporations and organizations do appear to play a big role in this character's story like the ones scene on the chassis of "the horror".


Also, this is somewhat unrelated, but I couldn't help but notice how the concept of a machine representing the embodiment of war that may heavily use bones to supplement mechanical components feels very similar to the machines seen in the movie 9, which at the very least is horror adjacent. I feel like the potentially shared themes may give insight into the chapter on an aesthetic level, but who knows we haven't seen the killer themselves yet so maybe what we've seen wont get incorporated into their design.
