Who Is the Pale Lurker? - Hollow Knight Lore

I love how hollow knight has so many random background characters that you could totally miss for multiple playthroughs

In the ancient basin, along the route to broken vessel, there is a corpse of a royal retainer that possesses a simple key. The dream nail dialogue of said corpse reveals that this royal retainer had a similar clingingness to their key.

Hollow knight theories be like : The pale Lurker is the Pale King !

It's possible that the Pale Lurker clings to the key because she thinks it is another king's idol, or that it is a gift from the Pale King himself. After all, insanity messes with a person's reality on so many levels. She could easily see that simple key as a gift from her king with how crazy she is.

So far there are 4 siple keys in the game: One Sly probably found around Dirtmouth that opens Jiji's house; One in the City of tears, probably ment to open the sewers as otherwise it wouldn't be left in the storerooms. Then there are two keys: the one that the Pale Lurker has, and the one that a dead royal retainer carries in Deepnest. Also there are two simple locks left: one at the Godseeker's sarcophagus and one locking the entrance to the pleasure house. What i think is, the Godseeker might have reached Hallownest before it's fall, so the Pale King locked them away because they worshipped the Radiance and sent one of his dependents to to hide or destroy the key. That means that the Pale Lurker has found the key from the pleasure house, that was likely washed away to the kingdom's edge through the sewers after Hallownest fell.

The Pale Lurker is a great example of what obsession can do to a person.
