Marble Hornets predates the concept of "proxies" in the Slender Man collective. I don't think there is one.

At best, you could say that Alex does the Operator's "bidding" (whatever that may be) and Tim!Masky may or may not be working for him (the Operator, that is).

I think of the Operator's effect on people as being similar to Mass Effect's Reaper indoctrination: The more influence it exherts over people, the more control the Operator has, the tradeoff being the gradual destruction of the target's mind. I think that Tim and the hooded man (who I believe run the totheark channel together) were acting on behalf of the Operator at some point, but as their minds degraded, they were eventually discarded and replaced with Alex. That would explain their odd behavior and agression towards him.

Would be cool if Jay could form some kind of alliance, assuming Tim is still rational enough to do something like that. He can at least pantomime a normal life, clearly, but who knows how superficial it may be. Still not sure how much of Alex's behavior is actually his fault. His actions even within a few months of each other don't match up, and his motives remain a mystery. I'm not convinced he's done what he's done of his own free will, and maybe he can even be saved. Assuming Tim didn't actually kill him.

Think great Slenderman could tell Jay to move on people.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Possible, but the cast isn't all that big as it is. Kinda hoping totheark isn't just the whole cast minus Jay and Alex wearing masks and making creepy vids. Approached the introduction of the hooded guy with cautious optimism.

I like the idea that Slendy's influence is like that of the Reapers from Mass Effect. However, from Entry 53, Tim seems very collected and in a decent state of mind. He may just be acting like he doesn't remember, but he most likely lost his memory from some kind of incident. There's also the theory about Tim and Masky being two separate personalities.
