Get your Warlow On, Speculations!

Even the Fairy Claudine couldn't keep up with the many faces of Warlow.

We first meet Mr. M Warlow on a bridge, in the rain and he's waiting.

He cuts a dashing figure in a long riders type of way in a later promo.

At first he had no fangs, what was Urno to think?.

Then he sort of had them, he could have been a sloppy eater or a vamp, it could go either way at this point.

Then look at this! He's a creeper in Sookie's Bathroom, was he watching while she showered, ewwww! At that point we said this:This apparition makes me think he is stuck in a different realm and can't break through, ie. Fairyland or kept from the earthly plane for some reason like imprisonment.

He's busting out from whatever realm he was in, peeking in Sookie's bathroom wasn't enough I guess. Make no mistake about it, this realm doesn't have dentists or barbers as we see from the newer photos, so we are dubbing him NuWarlow. Voila!

This NuWarlow with long hair and a beard and hat, still in the rain (in the time it took to grow that hair he could have bought a 2.99 umbrella, doncha think?). So he doesn't remotely look like previous Warlows but his outerwear does, I'm rolling! 

At least he sent a Valentine last V-Day, more than anyone else did for Sookie, so let's keep an open mind about him, right? Nah, he's a bloody ripper.

This is what we know about M. Warlow up till now, newer info up top and the older thoughts/speculations below. Photos from HBO, thanks to Skarsgardfans, Tumblr, GIFs IHFS, Darling Sookie, and for doing the video of Warlow for us ImHereforSookie!!!! . 

If you get a migraine after reading the first ideas, then the changed specs, now back to first specs, welcome to my world!

I have some idea on who might be playing Warlow, maybe, it's in Castings.

Oh Mark Hudis, you taunt! From an interview he did with Haverford College Mag- 

True Blood-ophile you all might be interested to know that Sookie and Jason will spend the year searching for Warlow, the vampire that Sookie has been promised to.
Scans for the article via Skarsgardfans. So does this verify Warlow is a vamp, that Claudine and crazy Elder knew him and he wants a part fae Stackhouse so made the pact?  I have to be honest, I like previous ideas so much better because it makes no sense for her parents to have been killed on a bridge. After the killings he gets all patient and waits some 20 odd years for Sookie?
Updating my brain, screeeching halt- ok, this is the new casting call, Via Bookies

TRUE BLOOD, Episode #602, "Here Comes the Sun"

[NIALL'S MOTHER] Female, Caucasian, Mid 20s to early 30s. Seen in flashback to 3500 B.C., she is Young Niall's (Rutger Hauer) protective mother...CO-STAR

So if Rutger is really Niall (Sookie's loving great-grandfather), maybe Warlow is a version of book Breandon, following? Maybe Niall shows up as some Fae using the alias Macklyn (the headache is starting)? Writers, please don't make Niall an evil fae who killed the Stackhouses, that would just be wrong. 
From TVLine's Ausiello
True Blood has made its first major Season 6 hire, and it’s pretty bloody fangtastic. Acting vet Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) is joining the HBO smash as a series regular, TVLine has learned exclusively. True Blood Boss Confirms Hauer will play Macklyn,  a mysterious and sinister figure with deep ties to Sookie and Jason. 
Macklyn Warlow, M. Warlow, oh be still my heart! BUT this makes me think he is one of those evil demony Fae, like a bad Niall. ETA:If Rutger is indeed Niall then (new speculations coming) could Warlow be his nemesis...like Breandon. Back to first speculations, HA! TB writers are breaking my brain, make a hard left turn back to old idea. 
(Breandan is the son of Niall Brigant's older brother, Rogan. He appears in the novel Dead and Gone, his goal being to kill every human with fairy blood because he believes they are the reason for the infertility in the fae world. He is killed by Bill when the fairy war breaks into the human world. He is the leader of the Water Fae. WIKI.)
Some more ideas, thanks to people commenting, it gets the brain action going-
If Andy was just given 4 fae bearing kiddios maybe John William Stackhouse was in the same situation, caught in the woods one night, some light action from a horny Fae and BAM, BAAAABEEZ? Then Warlow came a sniffing with something JWS needed  and a 3rd party Fae (if JWS isn't old school Fae, knowing how to write the old language) wrote up a contract in exchange for this favor? It would make sense as to why the Andy story came out of left field, it was to set up this season 6 scenario.
It seemed to me that Claudine had a familiarity with Warlow, not a fear of him. Considering what Eric did to her wouldn't fear seem more sensible? The thing is everything we've seen so far can be changed, as the commenter said. The scene will be extended, most likely to change the context. They also will make Claudine's appearance to be because she knew Warlow was lurking around Sookie since the bridge incident and was always protecting her since then. We know that isn't true from the near death experiences Sookie has had but she might have had other super secret important fairy missions that kept her away (laughing!), still I have no doubt a lot will be changed from previous seasons. Bill being made this big bad powerful blood clot could also come into play as the only one able to take down Warlow. Is this the way to his redemption on the show in what might be the final season of only 10 measly episodes? Stay tuned.
Putting this here because it's book canon and may be used this season in reference to who Warlow is and what I've been thinking also, from Southern Vampire Mysteries Wiki-
Fae Creatures: As noted above, the world of fairy in this universe includes "fairies, nymphs, water sprites, angels, elves, demons, pixies, goblins, and brownies", with fairies being the majority and base race.

• Demons: Beings that have very sharp teeth and are tricky to kill. They can manipulate fire (referred to in Dead and Gone), they can run faster than any human or animal, and can have a very powerful touch (referred to in Dead as a Doornail). When they die, the earth does not take the body in nor does it decompose, so it has to be burned (referred to inDefinitely Dead). They also possess the power of telepathy (referred to in Dead Reckoning) and they can also shapeshift (referred to in Deadlocked) .
• Elves: Very little is known about these creatures. It is expressed in the short story "Two Blondes" that they have very sharp teeth and that their blood is poisonous to vampires. If elf blood is ingested, it will greatly weaken and disorient a vampire for a short period of time. In "Two Blondes", Sookie shoots Rudy, a half-elf, in the face and chest but he is not mortally wounded. This implies that they are very durable supernaturals and may potentially be more dangerous than others that have been previously introduced.
• Goblins: Little yet strong creatures that have a burning touch to the skin (referred to in Club Dead)
OK, now there's a new Fairy, I'm not buying him as a love interest for Sookie, she can't be  that idiotic in what may be the last season, please no. Aren't her cousins the ones who are helping her? Is he going to be a TV version of book Claude, Colman, Dermot? Here we go again.

From Ausiello,  Move over, Bill. And Eric. And Alcide. There’s a new man in Sookie’s life — and he’s putting down stakes in Bon Temps. True Blood has tapped English actor Rob Kazinsky (EastEnders) to join the Season 6 cast as a series regular, TVLine has learned. Kazinsky will play Ben, a highly charismatic faerie who takes a liking to Sookie (and vice-versa) and helps Sookie and Jason delve deeper into the mystery of their parents’ murders. This marks True Blood‘s second major Season 6 hire. As TVLine reported last month, acting vet Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) has also come on board in the series regular role of Macklyn, a mysterious and sinister figure with deep ties to Sookie and Jason. True Blood‘s sixth season is slated to premiere in June. Deadline confirms he is Ben- British actor Rob Kazinsky has joined the cast of HBO‘s vampire drama True Blood as new regular for the upcoming sixth season. He will play Ben, a highly charismatic faerie who takes a liking to Sookie (and vice-versa) and helps Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Jason (Ryan Kwanten) delve deeper into the mystery of their parents’ murders. 

What do we know about Warlow?From 8/31 Alan Ball's TVGuide interview-The fairy elder said, "There's a reason you give your heart out to every fangster you meet." That's going to be very interesting to find out why.
TV Guide Magazine: That sounds like it has to do with Warlow, the unseen vampire who killed Sookie and Jason's parents and "owns" Sookie? Jason's off to kill him, so will we meet him soon?
Ball: We will definitely see Warlow. Whether or not we have met him already, I will remain mum. There will also be some other characters maybe who we know and love who are pursuing a less than generous agenda.
The sneak peek has a Warlow mention, Nora knows about Warlow, yet most Fae don't. Ol' dried up Claudine just forgot to mention this big bad to Sookie during any of her times with Sookie, and Claude must be lying his butt off too, right? 
Ball also mentioned Warlow in his end of season interview with TVLine
TVLINE | Did you ever consider introducing or unmasking Warlow in the finale? No. We didn’t want to really define Warlow until the next season.
TVLINE | So he’ll definitely figure into Season 6?
I think he’ll be kind of a big part of it. 
TVLINE | Is he someone we’ve met before? 
No comment.
The latest info and some ideas. Sounds like Warlow is indeed a vamp, or something more than just vampire (I will keep him a troll till he is actually outed on the show, the fanfic in my head is awesome.). Crazy Elder Fairie Coco said she did know "Johnny Stackhouse" he was a landowner, very handsome, bit of a creep. So what does that tell us? Not much, but it seems he wasn't fae if he was a landowner. Still, she didn't say in what realm the land was in so we are back to square one on what he was. She also says it's forbidden to speak of these things and there's a reason Sookie finds vampires irresistible, huh? She doesn't find all vamps that way, who can blame her for the 2 that she does? This is a weird scene, saying Sookie sluts herself out and that "you, me, Warlow, our destinies are entwined". "Hold onto your light", ok, but y'all should have held onto your mind because it is g-g-gone. Of course the one moment of clarity she has in answering Sookie is interrupted by Jason outside the club calling for Sookie, so we learn zilch. A riddle wrapped in an enigma, lulz. Speaking of Jason, I would think it'd be kinda cool for Ryan to play Warlow, like a Dermot doppleganger in the books. 

Mel from True-Blood.net said this to add to the mix, "I just rewatched the season 4 premiere and noticed that Queen Mab told Sookie, "We can't have the bearers of the Fae on the human plane any longer." I knew I'd heard that phrase before!"

There's one thing Crazy Fae hinted at with  "there's a reason" line, if they make Sookie a vampire/fae/human hybrid it will just be a stake in fans backs, blech! This isnt Twilight. 

Earlier Warlowian theories-
HBO Connect just posted-Who the $%&! is Warlow? So we have a spelling, like the town in Germany.WARLOW! Still I wanted a Gaelic twistie on it like Oirlo, silly me. I have a new thought (a synapse flares!), what if Warlow is a fairy of the troll variety and his payment was for some crossing, see where I'm going with this? He is on a bridge afterall, maybe John Stackhouse (who might have been part fae or mated with one) needed to escape or be allowed somewhere and Warlow expedited that in some fashion? 
Mr M. Warlow (what do you think the M stands for, Meekus?) entered into a binding pact with John William Stackhouse August 5, 1702, it was written in the signee's (Stackhouse) blood. Maurella is pregnant with what I assume is Andy's child, she is over 500 years old and does some spelly thingee to translate the old language on the vellum the pact is written on. She reads that it grants Mr. M. Worlo (again don't know the spelling) JWS's first Fae bearing female heir. 
In 1702 Louisiana was a new French Territory, so I wonder why a Stackhouse was there at all. There were still many native tribes and yellow fever, malaria was rampant. Maybe it was a deal to save his life or one of his family members, but how did the Fae blood get into the Stackhouse lineage at all? Somebody was getting funky with some Fae, maybe Warlow himself with a Stackhouse or a female fairy that he allowed to do the deed with John William. OOOh found a video of this scene!

This now looks like a completely different actor as Worlo/Oirlo/Warlo/Warlow, but more likely they didn't want bookies to see the resemblance with the nasty fae from the books and Mabe's followers from last season. We read of them in Book 9, Dead and Gone (when they chomp on Bill almost doing him in and capture Sookie). Will Bill or Russell fight with Worlo over Sookie? Will it be the finale or the cliffhanger, will she wear white to the wedding?

The return of the gnarly toof fairies?All rightey now, I watched and wasn't taking notes or distracted, it's Worlow (sp), and it seems like it could be someone of the bad fae persuasion judging by Claudine's knowing them enough to address by name and admonish them to leave. Let alone the fact that he isn't interested in Claudine who is full fae at all. Also Sookie and Claude both say that she shouldn't have been able to see through a vamp's eyes. Claude would be terrified they tracked him down too, and he seemed way scared. Adding more to this: I have to think this is how they are setting up the Fae War from the books, of course changing the hell out of it but still the seed is there. Worlo, Oirlo or however you spell it, is going to be like the book baddy Breandan (Sookie's fairy uncle) imo. 

Aw, old Claude, Neil Hopkins, put a hat and a Long Riders coat on him and he would have  looked like Warlow .
