For those theorizing he is a wendigo, I'd like to counter with a different suggestion - Mari Lewyd.

Firstly, the distinctive skull and flowing clothes are very similar to the Mari Lwyd. Secondly, Queen of the Faries, Titania is of Great Britain, along with the references to Shakespear's A Midsummer Nights Dream, and Great Britain is often talked about.

Additionally, with the close ties to the Christian Church, Mari Lwyd has been tied with Christmas tradition in Wales (part of Great Britain), and the folk lore ties of Mari Lwyd fit comfortably, more than the American Wendigo.
