Narration & Zombie Control

[BicycleOfDeath]

I've read a few bits of lore and I don't think I've come across who's narrating/controlling the zombies in Die Machine. Still a mystery?

[Loredude]

There's not much to go off of at the moment.  Personally I think the Either the megaton or the first one is the narrator and I think the first one is controlling the zombies

[BicycleOfDeath]

Never actually considered the Megaton. By the megaton do you mean Orlov?

[Loredude]

Assuming it's the megaton then I'd say Mayak is most likely the specific megaton who's narrating.  I don't think it's Orlov.  The reason being that Mayak' full name is Megaton Overlord, implying that he's in control of all the other megatons.  (Not in a hivemind sense but more of a he's the "General" who's in charge of the soldiers who are all the other megatons).

I’d lean towards Mayak too. I don’t think I’ve heard his voice in game, only see his subtitles. Haha

 

Would need to compared those voice sounds

[Loredude]

His voice is hard to make out.  I'd almost say the Mystery Box voice and his don't even sound similar.  But who else would it be besides Mayak or The First One.  Thoughts anyone?

[clueless]

There's definitely a Russian accent to the voice, the big tinfoil hat theory I've heard and definitely tried solidifying myself is that Nikolai survived being shot at the end of Tag and is the controller now, after being corrupted by the Dark Aether in an ironic twist.

As far as we know... well... We don't know. However there are a few candidates.

 

The First One/Chernabog - Essentially "the big bad". Reformed after Tag Der Toten from Monty and The Shadowman, and very pissed.

 

Eddie - This one is a thought that I imagine has crossed every one of our minds

 

Nikolai - as @cluelesshas explained in this thread, there is potential for it to be some variation of the Nikolai we see "die" in Tag Der Toten

 

Miscellaneous Omega Group member - self explanatory

 

Unknown - self explanatory

Considering he has a Russian accent, I think I'd go for option 4: an Omega Group member that was either 'consumed' by the Dark Aether against his will during an experiment going wrong, or took his place voluntary, perhaps with the prospect of power. I think Chernabog may be the entity that has power over him, perhaps even speaks through him, in a similar way of the Warden/Shadowman relation in MotD/BotD.
