After being cast down by Dacabe when he becomes the New Prince at the end of 6 Days A Sacrifice, the Arrogant Man Calabath was exiled to the World of Technology by Chzo, who sent him back to the point in time right after his past self became the Old Prince. Due to the effect his dethroning and exile had on his mind, a little bit of the Guide Trilby's influence seeped in, causing Calabath's outfit to change from a long black overcoat to a black suit and tie. For the rest of eternity he would be condemned to wander the world, claiming innocent souls--mostly those of children--in the hopes that one day he would gain enough power to cast down the New Prince and return to Chzo's side. Eventually, he would grow to be feared once more by the Men of Technology by their new moniker for him--the Slenderman!

The entire plot was Cabadath's attempt to send Chzo to the scientific realm, either to accomplish what he was trying before he was captured (Bringing Chzo to our world to drive out the Romans) or, if we assume he knows Chzo can't survive without magic, to kill it in an attempt to free himself. When the portal is opened in 6 days, however, it's still to small for Chzo to slip through and the plan fails. Realizing Cabadath has betrayed it, Chzo decides to replace Cabadath as The Prince, grabbing the nearest suitable canditate (Theo).

* [[WordOfGod Trilby's real name]] is [[spoiler: Malcom Somerset]], so pretty much already confirmed.
[[WMG: Chzo could've taken a New Prince from any of the Bridge Events]]
Yes, OBA documents are very specific about when a Bridge opens; but the Order has been very wrong before. Theo was only chosen because he was the only one present at a Bridge Event who had experienced all of the Blessed Agonies, and was therefore most "qualified" for the job. Plus, Theo and the Trilby clone (and maybe [[PutOnABus Jim]]) were the only ones around whose disappearance wouldn't interfere with the "future" Bridge Events.
[[WMG: Malcom's BecauseDestinySaysSo attitude is all an act]]
He ''wants'' things to go more or less how they did. If they don't, he never becomes a RealityWarper. Malcom just wants to keep his superpowers. He claims otherwise, even when he's alone, because he doesn't want to face the fact that he's deliberately allowing people to die/be tortured/etc for his own gain.

According to the chapter of the Books of Chzo quoted at the end of ''Trilby's Notes'', Chzo feels love for every creature and turned Cabadath into the Prince with the power of its love. While it's arguable how well Frehorn understood Chzo, it is at least a possibility that Chzo just doesn't see things the way humans do, and considers its ministrations to be something benevolent.

** The "confirmation" of him killing himself comes when we go back to Theo's timeline. A slip of paper shows up which talks about Frehorn's blade, and states that theoretically one could exploit the "forever in the service of the one who wields it" loophole to become like the Caretaker. The line "none, however, have attempted this" makes sense when you consider that from the author's point of view it was true.
That aside, it's a reasonable theory, particularly when you consider what Trilby's actual name is.

In the entirety of 7 Days, you are first introduced to what the entire crew are in charge of and proceed to toss all that info out the window as you become the only one who is capable of doing everything everyone else was specifically hired to do instead. This is why you have an engineer that insists the psychiatrist on board checks out any bugs in the ship, a logical advisor who has [[InsaneTrollLogic as much logic as a forum troll]], and nearly everyone else only remembering ship protocol if only to nag at you when ''you'' disregard it, among other things. [[spoiler: This is also why nobody calls out Malcom on obviously not being the 65-year-old John Somerset his ID would have revealed, because by drawing attention to him it might risk the chance of the investigation uncovering their own false identities, if they even cared their fellow men were also fakes.

[[WMG: Malcolm Somerset is a Trilby Clone]]
Going to be honest, there isn't a whole lot of evidence for this save for the similar hairstyle and the fact that both of their first names are apparently "Malcolm", but there was one remaining clone in stasis (Chamber D) who could have... somehow... survived the explosion and awoken later with only the memory of his first name. Considering we already know Malcolm has a reputation for identity theft and we don't know much about his past except for the fact that he killed his father because himself from the future told him to, and that he flunked out of Space Psychology School. Also, read that last sentence, and tell me that a theory like this isn't totally plausible in this series.
Trilby is also supposed to be "the guide" but doesn't really guide much, he mainly just randomly stumbles into pan-dimensional serial killers and quips, whereas Malcolm is super floaty wise space prophet man, and arguably goes through all of the blessed agonies as well. Also, we actually see Malcolm stab and kill the Trilby Clone with Frehorn's blade, THEN receive "magical energy", THEN realize he has godlike powers. In that order. We never actually see him kill himself himself, he just opens a door, walks down some stairs gradually becoming bathed in blood and going bald, and then this whole business is implied to be a hallucination taking place while he is actually... you know... killing himself. We do however see the body. This theory could go either way.
