The problem with any Gino theory is that it doesn't explain why he would do it. Why would he want to hurt Shroud and Stoic, who are his friends and customers? Why would he want to work for Kovak, who threatens his business as an independent weapons maker?
I think Kovak is a big possibility. The scene where Sparrow and Shroud debate Equipment King during the horse chase is pretty important. Sparrow sounds defensive, but why would he be if fighting Shroud is just a job? Maybe he has something invested in EK. Don't forget that Kovak was randomly "tired" after the Pearlton trip. From what? Walking around a lot?
I also vaguely remember Volrath mentioning something about how he loves Hobgoblin and Hobgoblin was a crooked business man like Kovak is

I don't think Kovak has the ability to be sparrow, he's an out of shape old man, It just doesn't seem logical.
I think the possibilities for Sparrow are:Vec, Barry or maybe Cade's older brother? (dun dun dun! plot twist!)
I'm not really sure who it is, I just don't think it's Kovak.

Cant be kovak. When him and vec are deciding what to do with shroud/stoic he says 'i think you know who is best equipped to deal with him...' or something, and vec says 'indeed'. I dont think itd make much sense if he was talking about himself... Could be emma? shes learnin earth magic off vec, but because shes just started learning it she wouldn't be heavy or anything. Dunno, just an idea
nah, if Emma was just learning, she would be somewhat unskilled, and Sparrow is ultimately skilled XD He's a trained assassin.
Also, for the theory that it's Barry, I don't think it is, but of course that was the very first theory, I don't think it can be him because he had been running his store before Equipment King bought his shop. I don't think that he would have been a trained assassin working for Kovak during that period of time. Remember, Sparrow has worked for Kovak for a long time.
I personaly think it's Cade's older brother myself.

The game has quite a few cliches. Thing is the story is done so well it is hardly noticeable.
Edit: Meh, that sounded kind of arrogant on my part. My intentions here are good, so let me justify my words a little. A cliche isn't a bad thing if its executed correctly. =P The game is wonderful

You mean Auburn? Nah. The way Sparrow uses his/her split-magic, it has no effect on his/her body. Remember what Baron said about that guy that Sparrow killed (I forget his name)? If he had mastered lightning magic, he would have been able to see in the dark, and also his fire magic would have had no effect in the watery cave. Learning to schools of magic has no effect on your body.
Auburn, however, has had effects on her body. She can walk around Boreal in a skirt without feeling cold.

He means Emma. I doubt that. She doesn't seem the fighter type, and now she is with Vec - it seems pretty unlikely given that she seems to have just met him.
As for Violet, somehow I doubt that. Maybe its the voice or something. I'm not ruling out the possibility, but still. . .
Hmm....as I've said, I don't endorse or deny any Sparrow theories, but I feel like I should talk a bit about the magic element of the game...to help widen the field of candidates...I like the mystery to have as many possibilities as I can.
Magic in Solest is a lot like languages in public school systems. Most people learn at least one school of magic as they grow up, though they may never use it for anything and gradually lose their skills. Since elemental spells are the most basic sort, most people go with that, leaving things like dark and light for the more ambitious students. The "fringe" magic (i.e. teleportation, illusions, telepathy, transformation, necromancy) is only for the seriously dedicated sorcerer/sorceress.
But what of this new technique which has yet to be named? This ability to copy the magic spells of others simply through intense concentration? Well...hard to say, not much is known about it. Can someone have this ability and learn some magic in the traditional way? Impossible to say one way or another.
Just trying to broaden the debate. By all means, continue.

Sparrow's fast. Wind mages are fast. Mina Lolian is a wind mage. Violet is her niece. Violet learns wind magic the traditional way from her aunt, then goes on to copy various other schools of magic from people and becomes Sparrow. Just one out of many possibilities.
If Violet ends up not being Sparrow, I still think she'll end up being an antagonist. According to her bio on the MOTW website, she has a lot in common with Shroud. That means she might also be a wind mage (and may possibly wield spears like her aunt). However, Violet and Shroud have different ideals, which may lead to a duel between the two (assumed) wind mages. I don't think Violet will end up being evil, but someone with a different sense of justice than the protagonist. But maybe this is just me rambling because I'm very suspicious of Violet.

She does seem suspicious, i'll give her that. But I think, at the same time, what Volrath just said - can someone learn a traditional form of magic and copy? It points to Rayne more because he sought after this power, and Violet we don't know much about besides Mina is related to her. Could she NOT know wind magic? And for that matter, does Rayne for sure know wind magic? Sparrow IS agile, after all.Bean;255978 said:
I didn't read Volrath's fiction, so someone correct me.
We haven't seen Violet do anything. We don't know for a fact if she really went to visit her family or if she really has a job.
@Korin: We can't really say anything for sure about Violet or Rayne. I'm rooting for Violet simply because I dislike the idea of Rayne being Sparrow. =P And it's been implied that Violet's a wind mage like Shroud. Just implied, though.
I'm rooting for either Violet or Spider. I'm waiting eagerly for Arc IV, though.

Does Violet not work for Blue Tide Estates? I mean sure we've never seen her at work, but I'm pretty sure Emma said it rather than Violet saying it herself so I don't think it's untrue. The chance of her living a double life like the heroes is pretty slim also since Sparrow has to move around a lot, more than she could do as well as keeping a job. It's not said how long she's been at Port Arianna, I suppose.
