Would we call Clarity an actual entity/Disciple of the Witness?
Title says all.
To me, it would be plausible, since we haven’t seen the pilot of the Europan Pyramid
When Ghost speaks to us when “the darkness” is speaking to us, it uses first person
Granted, the idea of the Witness is new, but they could retconn that to being the pilot talking to us

From my perspective, "Clarity Control" and the other statues are direct icons to the Darkness' power. (which at this point has been proven to be less of an "evil" force and more of just a "force") This differs from the Witness, who is a being who "serves" the Darkness, but through his own interpretation of The Final Shape. Think of how a Wizard (from D&D) would cast wind magic. Wind exists naturally in the world and doesn't need to be directed, but it is a force that can be directed and channeled to produce a desired result. It also has no morality of it's own, but it's use (for good or evil) aligns to the ethos of it's user.

11 RepliesNo, I wouldn’t call it a disciple though it is an entity. The statue is in multiple places. No statues of the Witness anywhere. Tells us that the figure is above the Witness. The Witness follows the philosophy of the Winnower. The Winnower has never used gender to refer to itself nor has anyone else. It only gets called “it”. There is a god that has has its gender revealed to us. The Gardner, confirmed by the Winnower and other lore tidbits, is a female. So there is some debate about whether the two gods are truly separate or if they are the same in some way. I’m leaning towards the two faced god, like Janus.

While Clovis calls it an entity I think more of a object that is used as way for the witness to speak through or see through Ie: the egregore on the leviathan and glykon are something like what I described the same can possibly said for clarity an object that the witness used to talk to Clovis
