  • Today I am going to be reviewing my KotLC / Keeper of the Lost Cities Book 9 THEORIES! After the release of Unlocked book 8.5 by Shannon Messenger, fans have even more information to theorize about. In this video, I review the theory that Alden Vacker is EVIL and is apart of the Neverseen. What could this mean for Sophie Foster and her friends? I hope you enjoy the kotlc theory video!!

    I 100% agree. Alden is always busy on "missions". He is often unable to be reached by imparter, which is super suspicious. He could be doing anything and no one would know. Also, he has a very bad relationship with Tiergan. We know this is because he broke Prentice's mind, but who know what else lies beneath. I've never trusted Alden. He's not around much, he is trying to get Fitz in with Sophie, and was the one who wanted Alvar to live on their property! "No reason to worry"? Try again Alden.

    Geez, thanks for making my brain explode-
    To be honest Alden always came across as a little sus, and I was liking him less and less as the books went on, mostly because of the weird relationship that goes on between him, Alina and Della. But now I’m wondering, because there’s also that extra scene at the end of Nightfall where Alden basically tells Keefe to let Fitz have Sophie, what if he did that for Neverseen-related reasons??? Like having a closer eye on her or something?? I dunno I’m probably overthinking this, stupid scattered brain cells 😂

  • @alicewalice13
    @alicewalice13 2 года назад +27

    wait so we know that Alden first sent Alvar (a never seen member) to find Sophie, and only sent fitz when he absolutely HAD to…also Alden was very defensive of Alvar when he was captured/trialled….and you said that Alden dropped everything to find sophie…i think that Alvar and Alden have been working together for longer than we think. It does make me wonder what he would do to sophie when the opportunity comes because sophie is literal evidence of his work against prentice…yikes i am questioning everything now 😅

    @swiftie1301 11 месяцев назад +3

    This was such a fun video to watch, thank you
    I have always thought the way Alden always said “no reason to worry” and how he’s always on his mysterious “missions” was suspicious. Can’t Sophie, like, go on the Spyball that the Black Swan gave her and put “Alden Vacker”? It’s just weird that he basically never can answer his imparter, and how he’s always “out of range.” He also worked with Fitz and Alvar right? And Alvar turned out to be a Neverseen member. Maybe he is too!
    You guys got all the points, this is such a good theory 😁

  • @derangeddreamer
    @derangeddreamer 11 месяцев назад +2

    also when fitz had got sophie to meet alden for the first time and alden scolded fitz for bringing her without a nexus alden said "you've never had to see someone fade away" what if that was because he felt guilty about cyrah and at that time he was new with the neverseen
    and yk alvar continuously keeps on saying "you'll see the vacker legacy for what it really is"
    it would also definitely explain how the neverseen were always ahead of them

    So, I always thought that Alden was sus. Even tho everyone in his family (other than Alvar) is in the Black Swan, why doesn't he join? He already knows most of their secrets. Another thing is he is a "master of good will meddling" as Sophie says in Flashback. He basically tells Keefe to back off from Sophie and to let Fitz have her. He tells Biana to be friends with Sophie to spy on her and see her activities. With the bit about Prentice, I always thought something along the lines of that. In Flashback Alden is also really willing to let Alvar back into the house, knowing that Fitz and Biana were totally against the idea.
    Overall, I think these theories are definitely plausible.

    You've made some solid points here.... He is sus.... But with Prentice getting better. I think things will get a bit clear now... And now that I think about it... Maybe Dalla could be Alden's spy on Black Swan..... I mean she was rather persuasive to join it. And maybe just maybe he is also using Fitz and Bianna. He asked them to be friends with Sophie.... And he is also a Telepath so he can have an insight of her through his kids. Especially Fitz as he is Sophie's Cognate so... He could have a whole picture of her mind and things in it.

    I do agree with all ur evidence except the Cyrah one. I remember reading that Wylie found Cyrah's body and he called for Elwin. Then, he tried calling for Tiergan but he wouldn't pick up so he just let Elwin call for Aldin to try and pick up any memories or evidence in her mind. Aldin was there when Cyrah faded away so that is likely where he got that memory.

    I thought about this a lot. It’s got to be true. AND I created my own theory. Alden started the everblaze. Not the ones in the forbidden cities, the one that killed Kenric. No one felt a change from Fintans mind or emotions. Why would Shannon include this? To show Fintan didn’t start the fires. And no, I don’t think Alden is a secret pyrokinetic. Remember when Sophie bottled everblaze? Yeah. Alden could have easily kept the bottled everblaze or stolen it back, everyone was too frantic about Sophie and Dexs kidnapping anyway. At the healing Alden could have easily opened the bottle and started everblaze, killing Kenric, and allowing Fintan to escape so no one could probe his mind. Also, Aldens middle name is Dedrick *mic drop*

    I also think that because Alvar is the oldest, maybe he knows about the neverseen because he and Alden had both been working with them before Biana and Fitz were born, but they also somehow kept it a secret from Della. I don't know its really just something random I thought of LOL

    okay i did watch the video but i commented before i did lol anyways- YES alden is evil. think about it, he asks sophie to come to him with her black swan issues, he worked with alvar to find her in the first place, his whole “talk” with keefe might have a deeper meaning, like to make him feel guilty and join the neverseen again. it just makes so much sense!

    Omg ok so the first time the memory of the boy who disappeared was mentioned and it said that he seemed to be someone who put a lot of work into their appearance and whatever else it was (I can't remember) but it kinda seemed like maybe it were a Vacker (and it ended up being so anyway) but my mind went to Alden. I don't know why that's who I thought of but also I thought he was too nice and I'm always suspicious of characters that are too nice. And since my friend had already finished all of them I would always talk to her about my theories and thoughts and I was like "I don't know why but I feel like Alden might be evil." Ive never thought of some of these things but I never knew how I felt about Alden but I CERTAINLY knew that any respect that I had for him was gone after telling Keefe to back off

    I'm not going to count my chickens before they hatch, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. I wonder... why did Alden go to Havenfield in Lodestar, when Keefe warned them that the Neverseen were going to attack (and Wylie got attacked) was it because he knew the Neverseen weren't going there? So he wouldn't actually have to face them. I just feel like there is a reason, that could perhaps tie in with your theory.

    What if Quinlin actually thought that the mind break was a good but then Alden only did it because of something else. (like the council ordering it) the reason alden couldn't get along with Tiergan was bc Quinlin and Alden where cognates and quinlin was evil. that could also explain a bit more about quinlin and livvy. also in the deleted preface for the first book Quinlin was like: You won't be able to find sophie. what if he did that because he wanted the neverseen to find her first. Gonna do more digging on it.

    Omg 😱 i agree on the last theory but i think you should add another one ☝️ So did you notice that Alden broke in exile and many people said that his mind is still way too fragile for other assignments like healing? BUT I think the reason his mind broke is that not only Wylie is an orphan (when Prentice is broken), his mind could have been broken BECAUSE he was in the Neverseen and he betrayed Sophie.

    With the one about Prantice I can't really agree, since in exile when Sophie talked about Wylie his mind broke from guilt.
    Why would he be guilty if he was bad (I mean, I'm pretty sure everyone will a bit guilty for being bad, but that's not my point). It says that he's guilty for being a friend of Prantice and letting his mind break, so I don't know what I think about this theory

    Second- it was very suspicious when he let Alvar live with him and was like fully trusting him.
    Third - I was also very suspicious of him when he wanted to to search for Sophie. I don't know why but it is just too suspicious.
    Fourth - the Vacker legacy could be this , maybe Alden has told Alvar about everything and told him to follow the legacy.

    Also so sorry this is off topic but I have a really solid theory for who Sophie’s biological dad is (beware this’ll be long) and I really wanted to share it with some people:
    A HUMAN!! It makes sense if you think about it. So in nightfall they experimented on humans. I think it was to figure out how humans have unbreakable minds.
    So the black swan got the idea that they could have a human and elf child and tweak their genes to make them ultra powerful AND unbreakable. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN WHY SOPHIE FOUND IT EASY TO USE WEAPONS IN THE BEGINNING OF FLASHBACK! BECAUSE HER MIND IS STRONGER THAN NORMAL ELVES’!!!!
    This could also explain her brown eyes. I know the black swan said it was because her dna was based slightly on alicorn but maybe that was so she’d not suspect who her parent was!!
    So now for the question, which human? I think it was that Ethan Benedict guy!!! We don’t know what a human would have to do with the never seen. So maybe the information got leaked that a human was Sophie’s biological dad and that’s why the neverseen killed him!
    Ok that’s it lol. Hope you liked my theory
