I'm getting here late, but has the idea of non-Julia/non-Eugene entity been (as much as possible) conclusively ruled out?
There's been a "green aura" observer since at least the destruction of Girard's gate. I don't know _how_ it could have happened, but I get the feeling one of the Eastern Gods has survived, and the prospect of ending the snarl is _just_ enough to lure them out of hiding.
If so - any guesses on who?
