Hatty? Nah. But let’s have some fun. What do you think this guy’s name really is? He does have a name and it’s not something that I totally made up (like Saint Dane). Think of it more as a title. If somebody guesses it, I’ll let you know. (If you’ve read the advance copy, don’t post the name, okay? That’s cheating.)
The guy on the Morpheus Road cover.

I’m going to go with ghost stalker or mabey zombie hitler!!
just kding I don’t know I’m going with D.J. (haha)
Michael Thomas says:
Death?
Stephon-gcb says:
I like that you know what about the angel of deat OR the merchant of deat?!?!?!
Ashley (DFC/Traveler) says:
It’s… not… Hatty? *tears up*
Hm… Lucifer? That One Guy on the Cover of Morpheus Road? D.J. MacHale? …
I got nothing…
Stephon-gcb says:
Hahahaha I like lucifer but that can’t be it I bet it has something to do with something in D.J.’s life or is related to smeone in the pendragon books
Ela says:
“Death” or the Grim Reaper? Oooh maybe the Sandman. Haha. But the Grim Reaper seems more fitting for the theme of the novel…
Human Torch 2 says:
At first, I thought it might be Saint Dane, or maybe The Undertaker (from the WWE) , but the Grim Reaper does make sense. But if it IS the Reaper, where’s his scythe?
RMB says:
Hmm… let me think, what can it be… I got nothing.
I’m just gonna have to try and get the advance copy =)
PS
Grim Reaper, not so sure about that…
RMB says:
My mind is blank… I’ll just have to try and get the advanced copy and find out myself.
PS
Grim Reaper? I’m not so sure.
Swiffy says:
It would be hilarious if it was something non-threatening like “Tom” or “Snookums”. But Lucifer seems like an appropriate name. How about Lars?
Random High Schooler says:
The Punisher.
That just sounded so cool, I had to put it down. 😀
Matthew The Traveler says:
Is It Morpheus The God Of Dreams?
D.J. MacHale says:
Human Torch 2 has come the closest so far.
But I think Swiffy’s is pretty good. I should have just called him “Bill” or something bland like that.
Matthew The Traveler says:
Hades???
Swiffy says:
How about “The Bad Guy”?
Swiffy says:
“Mr. Man-in-the-Hat” (like Cat-in-the-Hat)
Thanks D.J. for liking my idea!
You said Human Torch 2 was close… Does that mean it’s close to “the Undertaker” like “the Underminer”? Or does it mean it’s a WWE wrestler like Finley? John Cena? Ray Mysterio?
Mike says:
Hee hee. I made the name “Hatty” up! I’m glad that theres a post about this, just so you know!
But back on topic, I think his name is going to be something like “The Keeper”, as in he keeps their souls, “The Grave Keeper”, “Death Keeper”, “Soul Stealer”, or maybe even “Soul Keeper”, or “The Dark Reaper”, “The Reaper”.
Nope. I’m lost now if it’s none of them! I wonder if I’m anywhere near the mark… 🙂
Mike says:
By the way, I thought they stopped doing advanced copies of your books, since Pendragon eight, was it, and people were ruining it by posting exactly that – spoilers? I remember a post about it on the old forums. I wonder…
Clark says:
Marsh Seaver??? Maybe he turns into that guy. That would be pretty cool. But the guy on the cover would be a better villain than hero. That’s kind of obvious isn’t it?
Robert says:
I think it’s The Hater. Or the Demon Flame. Or maybe The Demon Torch. OR The Demon King.
Robert says:
The Overtaker?
The Soul Reaper?
I am new to this series so I’m just guessing.
I love the series though!
Robert says:
I got nothing… Sorry i guess I won’t be getting it early… Darn that would have been cool.
Ramon says:
On the cover, it looks like he has wings or something, so I’m guessing he is some famous angel, lucifer hasn’t been confirmed by DJ, so I’m gonna go in the opposite direction and say… Gabriel?
just a guess, cant wait to read the book though
wato4756 says:
I think the name of the guy on the cover might be Reaper. Probably not. But It’s not like you guys got the answer right. Serioulsy.
D.J. MacHale says:
So close…so close…
Emily says:
Hmmmm…Kreaper or Creaper…sounds menacing.lol
Colin says:
Other names for the Grim Reaper maybe?
Googled a few:
Death, El Muerte, The Fourth Horseman of the Apocolypse and He Who Rides the Pale Horse…
Ty says:
Creeper
Ty says:
mayb Michael
sam says:
ripper like jack the ripper
chaz says:
grim
chaz says:
i say marshall or grim
Ashley (DFC/Traveler) says:
Just thought of one… determined that it’s not it, but I thought it was worth posting…
The Hatter Gone Mad
Other appropriate names (since I’m going to stick with the Angel of Death theory until proven otherwise):
~Azrael
~Sammael
~Iblis
~Osiris
~Seker
~Charon
~Grey Walker
Eh, I give up… for now!
Stephon-gcb says:
Since undertaker was close mabey something like taker or slayer or sli cer
Sicarius says:
The Gatekeeper
The Saint
Death’s Saint
D.J. MacHale says:
Getting colder, though you’re all dancing around it. I’ll give it another week and then give it up.
Swiffy says:
Those are all really good ideas. I wish I could come up with something…
…but I got nothing.
Charly says:
The closest I have found to something with wings related to a personification of death is the Mothman
Mike says:
Death Reaper? The Reaper of Death? The Reaper? Death?
Ela says:
I’m just gonna throw this one out there: is it Skeletor?
Ela says:
No wait! The Soultaker! (Or maybe the Taker of Souls?)
Spartan 118 says:
Morpheus?
Spartan 118 says:
Jesus?
Spartan 118 says:
Moses?
Stephon-gcb says:
Life Death. Jose. Bob. Or the skull
Mongo says:
Could it be scarecrow.
Thomas Howe says:
Is it The Light?
D.J. MacHale says:
I’ll give you a small, yet probably more confusing, hint. It would be a lot easier to guess his name if the illustration showed an item that he always carries. (How’s that for a tease?) If nobody guess es by next week, I’ll tell you what the item is. (Hey, what the heck? There’s nothing else to talk about with this book until it comes out.)
Ela says:
The Ghost Reaper? The Scyther?
Mike says:
A scythe? A sword? A knife? Uh…a hat? A chessboard? A staff? Who knows? Excited to find out what the object is, though!
