#Yorick is too useful to just be another convenient lantern

Yorick is so interesting to me. Just like first of all its thing seems to be it can see through people's eyes? And John is Arthur's eyes.
Yorick's vast knowledge combined with its mechanics gives a bit of a sassy vibe. It definitely gives me a "greater picture character" with it telling them about the talisman and saying (or implying) that it will indirectly help with finding the black thingy and then literally leading, to what Yorick atleast seems to believe to be an unavoidable, doom fate for arthur (he'll get better ๐) We definitely already saw some od the dangers of trying to use it this episode but it's helpful.
Its definitely a pushingly devoted servand type character, referring to Arthur as "my master' and John as "my king" and insisting on a name for an identity perfectly fitted to be what they want. It has Arthur and John on pretty equal footing in terms of loyalty instead of only serving one of them, saying it serves "the dies irae" their "combined force"
"Gently please" when arthur had to put it down was pretty cute.
I think Yorick is vying for a top three spot in my favorite malevolent characters with Kellin rn. His skeleton charm and um actually personality have captivated me
#(I do not count Arthur or John as part of that list that'd be unfair)#Obviously we know the vanguard is a powerful entity but I'm curious as to what (serious) danger is actually elicited by it#Yorick is too useful to just be another convenient lantern#but I'd bet on him somehow drawing the attention of something else when he gets information as the risk associated with using him#What I want to know is why when Yorick was Samantha it only addressed Arthur#It's firstly weird that it was addressing Arthur as 'master' then but at that point the head was theirs so fair enough#but John couldn't even hear the vanguard#Who was it serving? Kellin ??#Does giving it a mouth change the entity its serving?#And did that entity change from Arthur to the Dies Irae or *something else* to the Dies Irae#Is he still serving someone else now?
