He also wears dark slippers with white buds and a yellow necklace with a white tag of a black smiling crescent moon attached to it. As a shadow, he appears as a two-dimensional being with a half-split design; again, with one side black with three sun symbols, and the other grey with three crescent moon symbols. The Collector hails from a race of celestial beings who seek to archive and catalog all life in the Demon Realm. Although little is known about his nature, it is shown that the Collector's child-like interests stood out from other collectors, whose ways he held in disdain and went as far as to omit them in a Collector guidebook. At an unknown point in time, the collectors encountered another magical race, the titans.

Additionally, he wears a light pink pendant with a purple crescent moon face around his neck. With a new outlook on life, the Collector chooses to return to the stars for some growing and soul searching, and is deeply touched when King gifts him his precious plus Francois and a hug, finally considering him a real friend. Before departing, the Collector gifts Luz a portal door so she can come and go between the Human and Demon realms whenever she likes, and they both pinky swear to keep doing their best. The Collector hails from a race of celestial beings which seeks to archive and catalogue all life in the Demon Realm. He was the younger brother of a group known as the Archivists, and his childlike interests stood out from his siblings. One day, the Archivists told him that they will play hide and seek, and that he needs to visit a magical race known as the Titans to see if they will join.
Eda's Requiem
Slowly realizing how death works for mortals, a remorseful Collector begs Eda and King to run away, not wanting anyone else to die and apologizing for everything, shedding tears for the first time in his life and not understanding what they are. Before Belos can finish them off, Luz returns as a human-Titan hybrid courtesy of King’s father, and gets them all out of harm’s way. Realizing that the Archives are about to fall from the Titan’s skull, the Collector volunteers to keep it afloat, managing to do so despite being hit by part of Belos’s blast and weakened. While Luz and her friends are celebrating for her new palisman, the Collector is observing them from above with Belos (still posing as Raine) by his side.
Scheming with Belos
In an attempt to get him to see the error of his ways, Luz, Eda, and King takes him on a tour of places that helped them bond and teach him how great kindness and forgiveness can be. At the Knee, their tour comes to an abrupt end when the Collector hears breathing in the distance and the group realizes Belos has possessed the titan. However, Belos reveals that he won't be releasing him, both because he's only using the Titan's Blood from the key to activate the Portal and because he doesn't want anyone else learning about their powerful spells, and instead drops his mirror down a pit in the Titan's skull. Later in the episode, while Luz and her allies battle Belos, an equally betrayed Kikimora brings King down to the pit. There, he makes a deal with the Collector, who recognized King as the Titan's son, to free them and play a game of "Owl House" in exchange for ending Belos' Draining Spell.
The First Day
After being beaten in each of the summoned games, instead of retaliating, the Collector goes to sulk in a corner, unable to understand why his new playmates are hurting him. Although he easily could’ve punished them, the fact that the Collector never did anything to the trio as revenge for beating him in the games further demonstrates how he never meant any genuine harm to anybody. The Collector sees Eda as a laid-back mentor figure, referring to her as a "cool aunt". He knows most about Eda from King, so his prior perceptions of her likely come from him.
O Titan, Where Art Thou
When King eventually turns off the lamp, the Collector asks King if he could sleep with Francois, but King is hesitant, as he only lets one other person hold him. The Collector realizes whom he refers to and exhibits brief envy toward the human girl, before asking King if Francois could at least be left on the nightstand to watch over him, as he doesn't like being alone. The Titans were deemed a threat and the Archivists launched a subtle campaign of genocide of the Titans, eliminating all Titans alike from the young to the adults, until one was left. The lone survivor furious about the disappearances of his kind blamed the Collector child, hiding his sole remaining egg and then dragging the Collector into the Space Between. Eventually, the Archivists managed to wipe out all Titans until there was only one left. Enraged, he mistakenly blamed the young Collector who befriended the baby Titans, for the genocide, and trapped him in the In-Between Realm before dying from unknown reasons.
In order to get their junior out of their way, they sent him to a primordial world where another god-like race known as the Titan dwelled, so that he could "play". Their sibling found happiness their among the Titans, finding joy in playing with their children, however when the Archivists discovered that the Titans had the ability to cancel out Collector magic, they grew fearful. The Collector captures Hunter, Camila, Willow, Gus, and Amity, turning them and Lilith into puppets and traps Luz, Eda, and King in nightmares to teach them a ‘lesson’ through Puppet Raine’s suggestion. He innocently reveals to the possessed puppet that King is a titan and that the Boiling Isles titan is still alive. “Raine” convinces him to play with the three of them and The Collector takes the advice.
The trio swiftly escape the island, but not before King makes a psychic connection with the Collector in a botched ritual sacrifice by the Trappers. A moon-emblazoned mirror, the key to freeing the Collector from his prison, was kept in the Titan's skull, guarded by a beast named the Stonesleeper. However, in this desire for attachment, the Collector becomes bitter and resentful when those he befriends hold their own relationships with other people. This is displayed by his initial belief that King was his friend and would never turn against him, but after coming to believe King was planning to stop him, he became vengeful of King's double-cross and decided to take matters into his own hands. Though the Collector has an underdeveloped and warped sense of morality, he is not completely amoral.
However, the Collector took the lesson too much by heart and tried to do the same to Belos, naively assuming anyone could be forgiven. The revelation sees a change in the Collector, as he cries at the fact he hurt many people so carelessly that he shows sadness and empathy for the first time and is devastated for indirectly causing Luz’s death. Furthermore, he reacts in befuddlement to what tears are after his eyes begin producing them, completely at a loss of words for what the feelings mean, never feeling that kind of grief before. The Collector's spies were blue star-shaped entities deployed by the Collector during his rise to power in order to cast puppet spells on every inhabitant of the Boiling Isles. The Collectors are first revealed in the second episode of the show's third season, "For the Future".
The Collector also values what King has to say, and King seems to be the only being he listens to. He also displays some affability with Odalia Blight, whom he sees as a maternal figure, despite making her his servant to his whims. On some occasions, usually, if he is using magic whilst experiencing strong emotions, such as anger or excitement, his eyes emit a bright glow. They were worshipped as the patron god of the Titan Trappers, a warrior clan of witches dedicated to finding the last Titans and killing them.
He captures Eda, and stores her in a room guarded by puppets, under the impression that she's in Owl Beast form and can't change back, despite this not being the case. During his takeover, the Collector resided in the Archive House with King, together partaking in a game with the transformed citizens acting out the adventures of King's life. After Luz helps him understand his wrongdoings, he helps protect the citizens during Belos' attack and helps bring the Boiling Isles back to usual, including reversing the effects of the Puppet Spell on citizens of the Boiling Isles. He chooses to return to his home among the stars for introspection, occasionally returning to the Isles to visit his new friends. The Collector is a former antagonist of The Owl House, acting as the secondary antagonist of the second season and one of two central antagonists of the third season. A mysterious, god-like entity known as a "collector", he[note 1] was originally trapped inside the In Between Realm where he spent centuries awaiting his release.
This casual indifference caused him to see others as toys for his amusement, such as viewing the catastrophic events the Day of Unity would unfold as a fun activity or casually killing Belos by likening his payback for Belos' double-cross as a game of tag. Despite his god-like power, the Collector understood little about mortals, failing to grasp that his warped perception of fun has dire consequences and thinks little of the lives of others. When King tried to show him how harmful turning people into puppets was at one point, the Collector innocently reasoned everything was still a game of pretend, dismissing the people as little more than part of his game. He wants friendship so much that he’s willing to befriend even Luz, despite being manipulated into thinking she’s there to stop him and take King away. Upon a new suggestion, the Collector goes to play with her, Eda, and King, wanting to show them how much fun he can be and blissfully unaware of how dangerous and potentially deadly his games are. He's unable to understand why his new playmates are hurting him when they start to defend themselves from the mortal games.
They are a mysterious entity imprisoned within the Boiling Isles that has come in league with Emperor Belos, intent on gaining freedom on the Day of Unity and taking revenge by wreaking havoc upon the Demon Realm. They are also the figurehead of the Titan Trappers and are responsible for turning the Owl Beast into Eda Clawthorne's curse. In "Clouds on the Horizon", the Collector accompanies Belos as the latter sets up the functioning Portal Door in the Titan's skull, exactly where he found the Collector centuries ago. The Collector sadistically asks Belos if he's nervous to return home, bringing up the facts that the Human Realm must've changed drastically over the four centuries he's been gone, and that Philip himself has changed in the measures taken to extend his lifespan. Centuries later in the present, Eda's apprentice, Luz Noceda, and Philip/Belos' grimwalker subordinate, Hunter, temporarily find themselves in the emperor's mind in the episode, "Hollow Mind", where they discover of the Collector's existence and allegiance with Belos. After escaping, Luz, King, and Hooty travel to Titan Trapper Island in "Edge of the World" for help against Belos, only to discover both King's Titan lineage and that the trappers worship the Collector.
After the Collector pulls King back, he creates the Archive House from the Titan's skull, a place for him and King to live. King explains the "Owl House" game to the Collector, saying it's kind of like playing pretend. He starts turning people into puppets, much to King's dismay, to help with the game and creates spies to help with this.
