i am SO HYPE abt mine and my best friend (and a lot of other peopleâs apparently but im talking about it anyway) idea for who the fifth member of the syndicate is you dont even know
tho the codename is never explicitly stated it is visible as the name âHarpocratesâ
now, if youâre a greek mythology nerd like a lot of us (hello lgbt community) then you recognize the significance of the codenames and the fact that they are chosen based off greek mythos
Technoâs is Protesilaus - the first to hop off the boat during the trojan war and thus the first to die. this is ironic for obvious reasons, though there is some mythos that he actually survived the war and went on the found Scion after he was left unable to return from the war. additionally, protesilaus means âfirstâ so it may also be a reference to the fact that Techno was technically the first member of the syndicate
Philzaâs is Zehpyrus - one of the four gods of the directional winds (the West one to be precise) and the spring. he is the gentlest of the four and considered the soft bringer of spring, ironic when you consider that phil and techno live in a frozen tundra and also that the god is most famous for epically ruining Apollo and Hyacinthusâ frisbee date by going all âreturn to senderâ on the discus and accidentally killing the dude. another thing the god is known for, however, is giving Odysseus the bag of winds he fails to use to return home.
Ranbooâs was (as of yesterday) revealed to be the popular fan guess of Lethe - a daughter of Eris, the goddess of choas, the goddess lethe is said to be the living embodiment of oblivion and forgetfulness who looks over the river of the same name. the river lethe is a river that runs through various parts of the underworld, and every soul that drinks of the water forgets all of their previous existance. it is said that the river runs through/around the cave of the god of sleep, hypnos, and that the noise the river makes lulls people to drowsiness
Nikki has not picked her codename yet, but i dont believe i have enough knowledge of her or greek mythology to make a good guess on what shell pick so i wont even try
now, if you think about this, about how they went about choosing their codenames and what we already know the mystery memberâs name to be, then you start to get a picture of who it could be
Harpocrates is the child greek god of silence. there isnt much we know about him, only that he was borrowed by the greeks based off the egyptian god horus the child, whoâs gesture of the pointer finger pressed to his lips was a symbol of the sun, which he is a symbolic representation of. the greeks mistook the gesture as one of silence and serenity and thus Harpocrates was born, who is often depicted as a small child with a finger pressed to his lips.
who do we know on the smp who is silent? literally the Only person who doesnt speak?
admittedly, i have only recently joined the smp fandom (within the last two months) so i know next to nothing about him. reading the wiki, he is shown as mostly comic relief, joking around on the rare moment hes on unless there is a big event happening. because of this, i have very little actual evidence that the fifth member is Callahan, however, id say the name is a pretty good place to start
feel free to add on to this
