Hmm .. actually, now that I think of it ... where was it ever said that the Operators doppelgänger is “The Man In The Wall?” It really doesn’t seem to make much sense. It was shown to be a sort of double misnomer already, by the time The Chains Of Harrow Quest was finally done (initially having been Rell way of interpreting that there is an essence of cognition to The Void, which he called The Man In The Wall, and then became a manifestation of his own splitting from isolation and paranoia, into a basic Jungian “Shadow.”)

Gosh, I’d hate to think that players have just taken to adopting yet ANOTHER misnomer, for something that is not at all like either the assumed delusion or actual manifestation of Rell’s own “Shadow” self as “The Man In The Wall.”

At some point it must have been named as such in the game (so that players finally stopped calling it “The Void Demon”). Or, maybe not. Maybe it is just an incorrect identification that developed out of the majority of players inability to deal with indeterminacy, and grew out of a sheer herd mentality.
