Jailer and Arbiter are the same being and we're split apart. Calling it.
My theory is:We meet this guy in the maw as Sylvanas' "boss"During 9.0/9.1, we enter the maw raid and finally get to pummel him.In the raid-cinematic he manages to fool the arbiter and steal that orb she has. As a consequence, he transforms into the Jailer whose picture we saw leaked.He immediately rushes off, planning his next move. And since he only appears in a cinematic, we won't datamine his "real" appearance.I mean, he already has so many features that are identical to the leaked image: Skin tone, overall body type, arm and feet ornaments, even the frigging toes look the same. He just needs to grow a beard and equip his chest slot.
Y'all should change the thumbnail for this article, in case someone is avoiding spoilers...
So it's confirmed that Jailer is Hollow Anton LaVey then. Well, I hope that's not his final form.
I prefer ( https://static.icy-veins.com/forum-files/uploads/monthly_2019_11/1198911022_thejailer2.thumb.png.d5fc17477fc595e7b2a9027e316599a5.png ) Jailer to this new one. They most assuredly switched models due to the leak.
It’s pretty ridiculous to think Blizzard trashed an asset mid-development and made a new one due to a leak, especially knowing that the model was going to be datamined in the Alpha. Neither Extreme Titan Santa nor The Corpse of Mr Clean are intrinsically spoiler-y based on their appearance.
The cunning ones kneel before six masters, but serve only one.
Just noticed Sylvanas has a scar from where Saurfang sliced her eye. Neato.
is it weird that i think he looks a bit too much like an ... well... orc?idk, looks a bit plain, i dont even know why because i think the detail on him looks great :/
The leaked blizz HQ version of the jailer matches the cinematic and looks a lot more interesting, the current one looks generic hopefully they can work both in, he was chained forever so hair grew and was skinny and weak until he cut his hair and got buff after sylvanas freed him?
He looks cool, not gonna lie, but that first concept made him look way more, idk, serious? As someone above said, now he looks like a generic bulky guy.
I guess he's a Titan keeper who was intended to watch over Shadowlands, but then he got angry/crazy for some reason, so the Titans had to replace him with the Arbiter. This model is really disturbing and intimidating (which is pretty rare in WoW), but I still like the leaked Santa image more (actually the cinematic model is extrememly thin, just like the Jailer from the concept, while this model has muscles and stuff). And yeah, the Santa Jailer actually showed that there's more to him than just an angry soul collector, so I hope to see his transformation in the future.My predicition for raids is: 9.0 - already known; 9.1 - Maw raid, Sylvanas as the last boss, doesn't die and manages to completely free the Jailer in the final cinemtatic; 9.2 - Dragon Isles and Galakrond raid (cause the Jailer will need a cool mount); 9.3 - some cosmic stuff with Jailer planning to undo the universe. In the end Sylvanas is put in chains in his place, and Bolvar maybe becomes the new Arbiter (if the current one becomes corrupted or something).
really disappointed by the jailer's model, the leaked concept was alike to the one in the cinematic and it fitted really well
The lankier armed look from the BlizzCon preview is way more interesting, visually. If this model is in fact The Guy.... very disappointing.
