HollowJack

I would say this is beyond obviously a depiction of Hollowjack. It’s a Witches Festival promotional image of which he is the patron spirit, and also just visually that’s clearly Hollowjack, with the pumpkin esque mouth, and the purple glow that eso just established as a mainstay of his depiction. Should be used on Hollowjack's lore page. Dcking20 (talk) 19:59, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Agreed, fits the latest ESO depiction by means of "pumpkin mouth with purple glow". The hood meanwhile fits the older depictions of "pumpkin with a hood". Considering it released at the same time as the latest Hollowjack depiction, and ESO + Castles do have quite a few crossovers already (like the Castles argonian baby being a Guar baby pet in ESO) so we know they at least crossreference marketing stuff with each other.

It's not Hollowjack, but the Warlock (the main antagonist of the first week's events), it's just a mysterious imagery, and we can compare it to how Morga would describe the Warlock to us to get us to agree to help her. It is nothing more than a ‘mysterious figure’ that has one of the key colours of the event (aka purple and green). There's no mention or hint of a Hollowjack in the story, so I think it's a controversial decision to equate them –Maxandkon 20:36, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I do think it's certainly meant to be the Warlock. But I think the arts similar appearance to Hollowjack, given its a Halloween event is worth noting.Tarponpet (talk) 20:48, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Apart from purple and ‘mystery’, they de facto have nothing in common. It's just Warlock and Morga, as it's explicitly stated in the Events story, and Warlock is just an ‘evil sorcerer’, nothing more, while the art only tries to present him as some kind of ‘dark mystical sorcerer’. For me, making it a representation of Hollowjack seems excessive (like over-invention of Lore¿idk), but it is not for my decision at the end, I just say how it is –Maxandkon 21:00, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Nah brotha, it ain’t just the purple glow, it’s the literal pumpkin carving esque mouth that is clearly a Hollowjack mouth. Whether that be because it’s actually Hollowjack, or if the Warlock in question is wearing a Hollowjack helmet is the question. But random sorcerers don’t have pumpkin mouths.

No, it is really nothing more than a ‘mystical figure’, he has obvious human features (the same obvious human nose, while Hollowjack has flat Voldemort like nose). Yes, they gave him this ‘scary mouth’, but it's nothing more than to make him look creepy, again, in the game, exactly in the quest where we fight him, he is just a dude, so you can see this art as more of reflection of the rumours from Morga about him beaing an ‘evil sorcerer who needs to be stopped’. For me, you are somehow overthinking it, looking for meaning where there is seems none –Maxandkon 21:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

(←) It isn't Hollowjack. The art depicts the two recurring characters from the series of Witches Festival event quests, namely the Black Witch and the Warlock. The fact that the in-game model for the Warlock enemy is a generic guy is irrelevant considering all the characters in Castles use generic models. The art does look a lot like Hollowjack, but that is original research and is not appropriate for inclusion on Lore:Hollowjack. —⁠Legoless (talk) 11:35, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
