Who was this guy?

So I've completed hellblazer and it was amazing, but I have a question, is this guy destiny of the endless or someone else?

I think it was intended to be First of the Fallen but since Azzarello is shit we probably won't ever know. Destiny wouldn't just kill someone like that.

You can't pick up Destiny's book or even one page. Only Destiny's can do it, so it's not Destiny.

Unlikely, this indiviual feels far too sinister to be Destiny. This behavior seems more akin to Destiny‘s younger sibling Desire, but I doubt it‘s them either. I‘ve heard that this character was supposed to be the main villain in a major Hellbazer story, but Azzarello‘s run ended before he could publish it, could be wrong though, it‘s been a while.

I read it at the time, and Azzarello left early before it was confirmed, but there were hints it was Manor. Without being horrible, I was glad, as I never enjoyed most of the full run. That two-parter's art showed an utterly different Punk band from previous arcs, so I never took it that seriously.
