Changes: Peering Eyes

Latest revision as of 10:37, 3 February 2020

The Peering Eyes are one of Beelzebub’s artworks encountered by Sal Fisher during a dream sequence in "The Trial".

Appearance

As their name suggests, the Peering Eyes are a pair of giant, looming human eyes embedded into the wall. They track Sal around the room.

Personality

The Peering Eyes are mournful of the transgressions they had committed.

When Sal attempts to converse with it further, all it does is apologize.

Biography

Sal found the Peering Eyes behind Beelzebub’s first door. When approached, they spoke an unsettling message:

There was a knock at the door and I could see again. I was… me again. Suddenly, it forced my hand and this freedom was revealed to be an illusion. I was forced to watch everything. A prisoner in my own mind. I have done terrible things. Unforgivable things.

— Peering Eyes

When Sal reported back to Beelzebub, he noted that the Peering Eyes were filled with regret and sorrow.

Trivia

The Peering Eyes could likely represent several different people:
- They could represent Charley Mansfield, as they speak of being prisoners in their own body and inflicting heinous deeds onto others. This would reference the Red-Eyed Demon seizing control of Charley to kill Sandy Sanderson for her interference in the Devourers of God's activities.
- They could also represent Luke Holmes, who surrendered to the Plague of Shadows and regretted the heinous actions he committed. The sorrow he experienced was so strong that he went on to take his own life.
- Another possibility is that they could represent Mr. Addison and the turmoil he went through during his transformation into The Endless One. Their appearance as nothing but a giant pair of eyes could also parallel how most of the time only his eyes could be seen while peering through his mail slot.
