Yeah, although that was Adlet's old theory that didn't manage to save his skin. I reckon at that point he also thought the 8th would be working willingly, but in the end that doesn't make much difference. Just like it's doubtful the false soldiers who gave the incorrect instructions were really working for the demons because they wanted to.Originally Posted by MasterOfMoogles
Although I said the opposite before, but thinking about it more carefully, there's one critical factor we don't know: Is the Seventh working willingly for the demons or being forced to? If it's the former, it would make sense it's somebody like Maura or Chamot who's actively seeking to slay the others. If it's the latter, it's like Goldov or Hans who would do the absolute minimum but would be willing to stop the slaughter as well because it's not really what they wanted. After all, the deal probably only included trapping the braves in. They are isolated now, so nothing much makes a difference anymore. Ever since the most vocal ones became obsessed with killing Adlet, they haven't done anything at all to get out of the barrier.
All that doesn't matter if the Sevent doesn't know they're the Sevent, which is why it's my favourite theory. But it would explain Goldov's recent actions even if he was knowingly the Seventh. He might not want to see a slaughter even if he was the ultimate cause of it. It would still count as a minor resistance against the fiends, to soothe his conscience.
