Just thought of something, Andrew pointed out a similarity between Lord English and that pirate who hates the Squiddles. Perhaps LE is opposed to the Horrorterrors in some way? Maybe the Horrorterrors really are the good guys. The Condesce supposedly doesn't like LE, and she had a Horrorterror pet. Maybe there's some good in the condesce? Of course, that's a pretty lengthy chain of assumptions.
Perhaps LE hunts the Horrorterrors?
