During gameplay and even the game’s marketing, it’s hard not to notice that the main character of The Evil Within‘s face has been kept a secret. Obscured by strange camera angles or covered in shadow, for the most part Sebastian’s head has only been seen clearly from behind. Well, today on the The Evil Within Facebook page, a close-up, and significantly more detailed look at our tortured hero’s face was revealed, along with his last name: Sebastian Castellanos. To start off with, I think it’s probably more than a coincidence that either Mikami or his localization team decided to give him this last name- Castilian holds a special meaning for Shinji Mikami, as it was a central focus of the majority of Resident Evil 4. It’s probably either a joke, or an easter egg, but I doubt it’s a coincidence.
As to the matter of Sebastian’s face, it’s sort of an interesting mix of Chris Redfield and Alex Shepherd from Silent Hill Homecoming. Overall, a pretty typical survival horror star. Stern looks, dark hair, and stunning fashion sense!
Well, I’m already excited for The Evil Within, and know that I know who it is that I’ll be guiding in and out of his own death, I’m looking forward to some serious gameplay footage. Here’s hoping TGS will unveil more than E3 did, and give us a proper look at the game- without any talking over the ambiance! How about you? Think Sebastian Castellanos looks suited for the job? Will there be any freaky fan-fiction of him and Wesker around the corner? Only time will tell…
