User blog comment:Western Gen/Speculations for Season 13/@comment-25397424-20141112174112

just some speculation here (on a speculation page since I have to state the obvious)

In Locus's journal entry in Season 12, he asks Wash a question, and I'm paraphrasing here:

When a man shoots you, who do you fear? the man who shoots the gun, the man who made the gun, or the gun itself. Which do you think I am?

So besides that sending chills down a couple of our spines, it did shed light on Locus's philosophy of him as a killer. He consideres himself a weapon, and is only killing because he was told to do so by the man "shooting the gun" Obviously Locus is the gun, and the Chairman is the shooter, since he hired Locus to do this task. So in question, who is the man who made the gun. who made Locus who he is? Has he appeared before, and will he play a part in Season 13?
