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.
Collectors
After this, Puppet Raine convinces him to play with the three and the Collector does so. Due to his childlike nature, he is quite naïve to the point he will take someone's word that they are telling the truth, a trait that has been exploited by others in getting the Collector to help them. As a result of being taken advantage of, the Collector loathes deception, especially when the person turns back on their promise. Despite their overwhelming powers, when Luz, Eda, and King beat him in all the games, the Collector goes to a corner to sulk instead of retaliating, and opens up to Luz when she approaches him.
Scheming with Belos
Luz realizes she has been hit and becomes covered in the possessed Titan’s moss, causing her to die. The Collector is left confused as to what happened and tries to bring her back, but is left devastated and in tears for the first time in his life when he realizes his magic can't bring her back. A remorseful Collector, having grown fond of Luz in the short time he has known her, finally understands what death means to mortals and is terrified at the fact that he indirectly caused her death and that he might lose Eda and King too. The Collector forces Luz, Eda, and King to play his favorite games, unknowingly endangering their lives, but becomes frustrated when he is beaten in all of them.
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door
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.
Starting a New Game
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.
Powers and Abilities
When Luz helps him and Eda escape the nightmare he has trapped them in, the Collector is worried King might hate him for it. After venturing through the islands and demonstrating to the Collector how King, Eda, and Luz became friends, King realizes he was right all along and that the Collector is just a powerful yet misunderstood kid who only wanted friends and someone who would understand him. After the Boiling Isles is saved, the Collector turns everyone back to normal and decides to return to the stars to reflect and grow up on his own, signifying his adopting a more responsible mindset. With a new appreciation of life, he also becomes open to forming real bonds with the people around him. He is deeply touched when King gifts him Francois before departing and gifts Luz a portal door so she can come and go between the Human and Demon realms as many times as she wants.
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.
Friends / Allies
The Collector quickly befriended all of them, especially the younger ones, but his fun was interrupted when the Archivists became scared of the Titans' power. They started a war against the Titans and won, with there being only one Titan left, who, mistakenly blamed the Collector and, not wanting him to hurt his still-unborn son, used his powers to seal him away in the In-Between Realm for various millions of years. After the Collector pulls King back, he creates the Archive House, a place for him and King to live. King explains "The Owl House" to the Collector, saying it's kind of like playing pretend.
Watching and Dreaming
The Collector is left confused and unable to understand what happened, and tries to bring her back with a snap of his fingers. It doesn’t work, and he can only watch helplessly as Eda and King turn feral and start attacking Belos in grief and anger. At first glance, The Collector appears to be a malevolent and sadistic entity who enjoys the very idea of chaos. However, it's later revealed that this is due to his poor understanding of death and morality. In actuality, he is a lonely child who just wants a genuine connection with someone after being manipulated his entire life. He's shown to be friendly to pretty much everyone he meets, and loves keeping promises and it when people lie.
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.
At an unmarked point in time, the Collector relentlessly pursued a fearsome creature named the Owl Beast, and managed to capture it. Despite the Owl Beast's efforts to escape the Collector, it was bound to a scroll that fell into the sea. Once Belos is finally defeated, an exhausted Collector floats back to the Archives, at first afraid that the Hexsquad will punish him and delighted when Amity helps him up. Afterwards, they all watch as Belos’s infection vanishes, and with the former emperor’s threat finally be over, the Collector starts to turn everyone in the Archives back to normal.

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.
Even after some years have passed, the two of them are still best friends, as shown through King's star sticker, which is implied to be a gift from the Collector himself. When encountering Belos again, now possessing the Titan, the Collector tries Luz's lesson about kindness and forgiveness on Belos, only to backfire when he takes the opportunity to try blasting him when the Collector’s back is turned. When Luz saves the Collector and intercepts the blast, dying in the process, the Collector is left devastated, learning the hard way that some people just can't be redeemed. When Luz is revived and saves them, the Collector leaves her, Eda, and King to deal with Belos while he goes to save everyone from the Archives, finally cutting all ties with the man he helped for so many years almost destroy the entire Boiling Isles. After this, the Collector makes an honest effort to be kind to people, once Luz shows him how she befriended people like Amity and Lilith through kindness and forgiveness and not through forcing them like he initially thought.
The youngest of Collector siblings, he went to the Demon Realm to make friends with the Titans. However, his siblings killed them all and abandoned their younger brother, leading to sole remaining Titan imprisoning him due to mistakenly believing he was at fault for the Titan genocide. The Collector brings Lilith, Amity, and Camila to the Owl House and returns Hooty to normal in front of Lilith. He decides to return to the stars to do some soul searching and King gives him Francois as a parting gift.
