I love the idea that the mythological hero Ahti Saarelainen one day retires from seafaring adventure and spends his days cleaning up in an eldritch location.
Who knows. Maybe he became Eldritch himself? Ahti (at least in Control) is really not explored much. A great character but shrouded in constant shadow and mystery. So it very well might be. Who the fuck knows. When he talks about wanting to go on vacation he does talk about a beach and how he likes the sounds of the sea…
I specifically want Remedy to not expose his past. Mystery is what keeps the lore interesting. On a tangential note, this is why I will never forgive Chris fucking Chibnall for retconning The Doctor’s origins in Doctor Who’s later seasons.
I don’t care about retconning as long as its done well. Chibnall proceeded to go to Doctor Who and make a mess and a mockery of everything, turning the Doctor into a joke as well as their past, squandering the only female Doctor we’ve had and giving her endlessly shit material for her to waste her talent on.
And none of that was spoilered. Stating that a character is in a movie or a game is not a spoiler. Dumbledore being a part of a harry potter movie is not a spoiler.
Your comparison doesn’t work. Harry Potter movies are all called Harry Potter movies. The game mentioned in question has a completely different name and is not categorically stated to be in the same world on its own. Having the character in both is a spoiler.
You’re just arguing in bad faith. I’m going to block you now and go back to not knowing you exist, a state of being that is far more enjoyable. Goodbye.
Oh wow I love Control and had no idea about this mythology. Didn’t even think to look more into him. Just figured he was the wise old janitor that knew more and was more important than he let on
Unfortunately much of Finnish mythology comes from a single source, the Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot, which was written long after christian missionaries polluted the folklore. It’s an interesting mythology, and very distinct from the surrounding Germanic faiths.

Fuck him.
Fuck the people who hired him. Chibnall was a known quantity.
Ahti shows up in Alan Wake 2, too.
Might want to add a spoiler tag to that, dude.
Hows that a spoiler?
What happens to Ahti and where he might go are pretty damn spoilery given his discussions in Control and things said in the other game in question.
Thought that was kind of obvious.

You would expect him to be in Harry Potter, you wouldn’t expect him to be in an entirely different franchise.
“DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS?” Dumbledore asked calmly.
Control and alan wake are the same universe?!?! Has nobody played the game?

The Canine Kalevela is a fun way to read it to kids. Really fun illustrations.
My headcanon is that he’s the owner bound to the Oldest House.
I wonder if the Astral Plane charges property tax?
