Yeah it's almost like he's a wild animal, or a beast

His while purpose was surviving. Just live to live another day. No wonder he was such an evil bastard. He probably just was a manifestation of the lost souls in the Unknown which will be reborn as soon as some other souls end up turned into trees again.

I wonder, what/who was the beast originally?

I mean if the only goal was self-preservation and all those faces it was shown to have on its body were of human souls it took, then what WAS the beast at first? a human, another thing?

Probably someone who thought to prolong his life by separating his soul into the lantern, like a lich. The lantern however needs to keep feeding on oil from the adlewood trees.

You were a puppet all along!
