High Potential

High Potentialseason 1 ended on multiple cliffhangers , but the surprisal antagonist ’s identity is still a developing mystery , and there are several interesting theories about it . David Giuntoli ’s case inHigh Potential(known only by the false name “ David ” ) is the first reference to evade capture by Morgan Gillory ( Kaitlin Olson ) and the rest of the LAPD . accordingly , David has been fix up to be a repeat offender inHigh Potentialseason 2 .

Out ofeveryHigh Potentialseason 1 case , David ’s has to be the most perturbing , despite nobody actually die . From being trapped in a safe to have life - saving medicine withheld , David set traps for his victims that would wipe out them in fourth dimension . While Morgan bested him and his twisted riddles in theHigh Potentialseason 1 last , she ’ll face the mystic human beings again , and hopefully by then , she ’ll finally check his true identity .

5David Is Morgan’s Half-Brother

The Two Are Bonded By Blood

The most popular hypothesis regarding David ’s true identity is that he ’s secretly related to the main character . Thetheory that David is Morgan ’s brother inHigh Potentialstems from Morgan ’s reveal in episode 13 that her father was a HPI as well . Morgan ’s male parent is cruel , and his favorable position complex could have easy bred evil . give how evenly rival Morgan and David seemed , relation is potential .

IfHigh Potentialseason 2 reveals that Morgan ’s father exit and part a Modern family , David could potentially be a one-half - sib she never met .

This theory , however , would require more details from Morgan ’s past . IfHigh Potentialseason 2 reveals that Morgan ’s founder left and started a young family , David could potentially be a half - sib she never meet . Plus , the sophistication of David ’s clew already mean a sort of genius within the baddie . However , it ’s improbable that Morgan would have repress or entirely block having a blood brother .

4David Is Also Roman

High Potential’s Two Biggest Mysteries Overlap

The most outlandish theory by far insinuates that Roman , after disappearing 15 eld prior to the series , fall to Morgan ’s life as David . After dramatically changing his appearance ( and perhaps surgically altering his voice),Roman would have become evil . The unraveling secret surrounding his fade did n’t give any reading that Roman would set about to dispatch people , butHigh Potentialmay take a smarmy turn .

If David had n’t undergo procedures to change his visual aspect , Morgan would have recognized him in a flash .

Whilewhat happened to Roman inHigh Potentialis very much still a arise story , there ’s little to no chance that Morgan ’s X spontaneously became a nonparallel kidnapper . If David had n’t undergone procedures to alter his appearance , Morgan would have acknowledge him instantly . If he had , there would be obvious signboard of all-embracing surgery . While entertain to ponder , this theory holds no H2O .

3David Has A Past With Karadec/The LAPD

The Kidnapper Has A Premeditated Vendetta

Slightly more plausible is a theory that David has a vicious past and some variety of history with the police . Whether he ’s seeking retaliation on a specific police detective like Adam Karadec ( Daniel Sunjata ) or attacking the psychiatric hospital itself , David could be a turkey - character character . reckon as he most killed Lev “ Oz ” Ozdil ( Deniz Akdeniz ) , it is n’t unimaginable to believe .

IfHigh Potentialdecided to give David a backstory that involved him being previously apprehend and using his newfound exemption to go after his halt policeman , it would n’t necessarily be unrealistic . Yet , view David ’s preference for playing game with investigators , it ’s unmanageable to imagine that nobody would remember his stylized M.O. duringHigh Potentialepisode 13.Still , this theory is n’t immoderately farfetched .

2David Is From Morgan’s Childhood

One Story Could Unravel Everything

While not expressly part of her family , this theory indicate thatDavid is a forgotten figure from Morgan ’s puerility . Based on the narration she told Karadec inHigh Potential ’s time of year finale , Morgan short stopped playing with her schoolmates at the behest of her Father-God , lead to her being shun . consort to this theory , David was one of her former playmates , and he hold a grudge .

Kaitlin Olson ’s mellow Potential character , Morgan , is a high possible intellectual , but never really used her gamey IQ to further herself in her career .

Morgan ’s backstory inHigh Potentialis still vague , so it ’s unclear how detrimental her refusing games of knucklebones at recession was to her social standing . High Potentialhas drawn parallel between Morgan and her son , Elliot ( Matthew Lamb ) , suggesting that she was bullied — or at least misunderstood — by her schoolmate . David admit onto his gall for decades would certainly be dramatic , but it ’s not impracticable .

1David Is A Complete Stranger

High Potential Episode 13 Was Truly Their First Meeting

The simplest ( and therefore most likely ) account of David ’s identity is that he was a distinctive criminal forHigh Potentialepisode 13who , after dealing with Morgan , modernise a captivation . It ’s straight that David singled Morgan out by the last of the season finale , but nothing indicates prior knowledge of her . Rather , his sudden interest seemed to be a outcome of the investigation itself .

Most likely , David had no architectural plan of finding a competitor , and seeing Morgan flummox his puzzle simply inspire him . High Potentialseason 2might give the baddie a more complex fictional character , but his true self seems clear at present : David was a run - of - the - mill successive grampus who spiral out of control after finding a suitable adversary . While it would n’t be the most exciting resolution , High Potentialmore than make up for the intrigue in other ways .
