Sounds like the entity.  Hm, so maybe the entity is a wizard.

A wizard, eh? Well, I think that gives us just enough information to deduce exactly what the entity looks like, then.

sorry about the poor quality; I'm not at my home computer, so I am reduced to MS Paint for photo editing.

That looks about right, although I always pictured it with a flamboyant hat or foreboding hood...but I could be wrong with that.

Um, I just used Sarda because he's "The Wizard That Did It", which in turn references the common game concept of using "A wizard did it" as a way to explain away plot holes & inconsistencies...plus, yeah, I noticed they both got that 'stache going...

Maybe the gurus are merely the human manifestation of the entity.

How did this turn into a talk about the entity? xD

Simple, my dear Fan Project Leader. Lucca's Red Gate has no explanation and is odd enough to make any theory regarding it little more than ethereal speculation. And when there is no plausible explanation, "the Entity Did it" is the only avenue of discussion that is really left (or so it would seem).

Gates, as we know them, only come from two sources: the Entity and Lavos. It's perfectly logical then to assume that the Entity is also the cause of this Gate (as assuming it's Lavos makes pretty much no sense at all).

Unless Lavos isn't the evil being that we all think it is.  Just misunderstood really.

We don't all think he is an evil being. Personally, I'd claim that Lavos is amoral, along the lines of Galactus.

Yeah, that's more or less how I see it as well, Thought...though Galactus was a pain in the butt a lot of times...especially what he did to Norrin Radd...he was more evil than you give him credit, I think...but I understand what you mean, I think...anyways!...

It doesn't really make sense for Lavos to randomly help someone...especially if Lavos has any inkling what-so-ever as to the significance of who Lucca is and what Lucca & Co. (doesn't have the same ring as Crono & Co, does it? lol)'s ultimate goal is...The Entity, at least, has motive.

Yeah, Galactus is a punk. But I figured people could see him as being amoral moreso than other infamous extra terrestrial threats, like Cthulu.

And Lucca Ltd. still doesn't have the same ring, but I think it might work a bit better than "Lucca & Co."

Lucca Ltd has a better flow.

As for Lavos, if he was in a PD and could see all timelines, maybe it happened to notice this event and it couldn't stop watching and kept seeing that poor lady lose her legs every moment of its existance..."Man, that is depressing, how can I possibly feed off this planet with that always happening.  It is distracting." and opened up a gate for Lucca to fix it already, so it can concentrate on absorbing DNA and such.  Pure speculation of course.  8)

Lavos was depressed by that? man, he caused the destruction of a floating civilization,
killed humanity's future and created widespread suffering on its remnants, then he just gets depressed
by a single lady losing her legs?

the Entity being the cause of the Red Gate is still more plausible, but then,
it's still up for debate..

Observing/causing a destructive event that happens to a large mass of people is different than observing/causing that event to a single person.
