Background[]

Totheark

Totheark, abbreviated TTA, first posted Regards as a response to Entry #9, where Alex yells at the cast of Marble Hornets and doesn't act like himself. According to Jay, he believes that Totheark is the Masked Man, but looking at his responses, he believes that the videos were possibly created by different people who may make up totheark.

Video Responses[]

In their cryptic responses to the entries, Totheark seems to mock Alex and Jay constantly, and refers to an object/idea/location known as the Ark. Totheark's messages even get threatening towards Alex, for in Deluge, it appears to be somekind of ransom note for Alex. Totheark is also the only person in Marble Hornets to refer to the Operator by name. However, it seems like Jay knows what they are talking about, for in one response (Messages) Totheark talks about keeping secrets which leads to Jay revealing that he has been recording himself for a month.

Totheark's responses also show events that weren't caught on footage by Jay or Alex (Return shows where Jay was in the 3 hours he was absent in Entry #19, Addition shows Jay colllasping in Entry #16, etc.) and he appears to be very mocking towards Alex and Jay. (Fragments shows a ripped up picture of Alex, as totheark says that he is broken and cannot be fixed.)

Identity[]

Totheark's identity is one of the biggest mysteries in Marble Hornets. No one exactly knows how they filmed the videos without getting caught or their reasoning for producing the videos. As far as we know, Totheark seems to want to use Jay as a way to get to Alex, who may or may not lead him to this Ark they keep talking about in their responses.

Their stalker like intentions often lead to people believing that the Masked Man and another mysterious character, Hoodie, for he has stalked and even attacked Alex.

The YouTuber Night Mind speculates that totheark is 3 people. Brian, Tim, and Seth. Having Seth would explain why totheark has many secret tapes that a normal person would not have access to, since he was the cameraman. He also has a motive to hate Alex, as Alex became more irrational by the end of shooting, as well as trying to kill him.

The Ark[]

Edward Hicks, American - Noah's Ark - Google Art Project

Noah's Ark (1846), by the American folk painter Edward Hicks.

It is unknown what "The Ark" symbolizes and if it truly exists, as TTA only refers to it as that. "The Ark." But we do know that the ark being referenced is from Noah's Ark.

TTA has referenced religion on many occasions, such as "Program," where they use the stigmata symbol to represent Alex, telling him to "bleed more." Knowing this, it wouldn't be surprising for them to reference a religious story.

In Noah's Ark, God is going to send a flood to wipe out the "impure." God instructs Noah to build an ark to protect two specimens of each species, so they can reproduce and their species can live on. It rains for 40 days and 40 nights, causing the flood God planned earlier.

Many of TTA’s video titles reference the flood in Noah’s Ark. “Deluge,” for example, which literally means a severe flood, and “Impurity,” which mentions the impure in its title and contains imagery of rain. In many of their videos, rain can be seen, growing heavier.

Some theorize that The Ark doesn’t exist, but we don’t know enough about it to say for sure.
