Now with Irene Belserion being introduced in the latest chapter, there's only one Spriggan a complete mystery. These are the ones we know so far:
So up to this point 6 Spriggan's have effectively been beaten while 6 are still at full strength. Now the title of the next chapter is the "Monstrous Six" which can indicate that the last 6 are in another league than the first 6. This however is open to quite subjective interpretations. You can easily form reasons as why August, Irene, Invel, Bradman and the unknown Spriggan to be amongst the 6 strongest ones and why Whal, Azir, Jacob and Neinhart are among the lesser ones. These 4 have already been beaten and their magic was strong, but still not what I could consider monstrous. So then you got three special cases remaining.
Serena. He had quite the hype, amongst others because he defected without stating a reason and that the was the strongest mage of Ishgar on top of being a hybrid dragon slayer. He's someone I could easily label as being a monster, but yeah he got done in by Acnologia in a flash. However because there are so many loose ends with him, I can't imagine him being out of the game.
Dimaria. Because she got beaten alongside Whal, Neinhart, Azir and Jacob, it would be the most logical to think she was a lesser Spriggan. However unlike the others her magic was truly terrifying. If it wasn't for Ultear, Wendy and Shelia would have been done for.
Brandish. She still hasn't been beaten and thus made it to the 6 remaining Spriggan, however she got taken prisoner because of hay fever and has since then familiarized herself with FT. So at this point I find it hard to imagine her as being a part of the Monstrous 6.
And then in regards to the last unknown Spriggan, we do have a silhouette:
Now there are only 11 silhouettes, however Brandish is the one who is thinking about them, so she likely did not include herself, there is also no one who looks like her.
At the center in front you can clearly recognize Azir (labelled with number 5), behind him August (labelled with number 6) and left of him Dimaria (labelled with number 4). All the way on the left it's definitely Serena (labelled with number 1) and all the way on the right in front Inbel (labelled with number 8).
These 6 are nearly a 100% certain, the other 6 are more debatable.
I'm fairly certain that Irene is the one right of Azir and August because of the long strands that are connected with the silhouette (here labelled with number 7). Irene has long braids on top of wearing a headdress with long strands. Only problem is that her cloths seems to have quite a volume in the latest chapter while here it looks rather flat, so it's possible she can also be number 2.
Whal is problematic because he had a proxy that looked completely different from him. His proxy could easily be the large guy behind Inbel (labelled with number 9), in particular because the proxy had that weird pointy antenna on his head. His real body however resembles mostly the silhouette directly right of Serena (here labelled with a question mark). I personally believe the latter option is the correct one because his cloths are quite slim and even tight-fitting. His normal hair is also quite messy and stands up.
Bradman is quite huge, so there are only two possibilities. Or he is the one all the way on the right in the back (labelled with number 9) or he is the one all the way on the left in the back (labelled with number 2). Personally I think it's the former.
Neinhart and Jacob are the most problematic ones as none of the silhouettes fit either of them. The ones that that come the closest are the ones between Dimaria and who I consider Whal (labelled with number 3) and between the latter and Serena (labelled with number 2). Number two seems to rather fit Jacob the most because of the shoes, trousers and the shape of the head, he however seems to have some kind of short wings on him. That would leave number 3 for Neinhart, however there is something weird around the place where the head's supposed to be, something Neinhart doesn't have. I assume that Hiro made some adjustments after these silhouettes already appeared as what Neinhart does have, is a quite prominent and frilly collar that turned outward similar to the silhouette. It's possible Hiro originally made the collar to be much more prominent and larger, but trimmed down on it afterwards.
So that leaves only one silhouette remaining: the one between Inbel and the one I consider to be Irene (labelled also with a question mark). This silhouette doesn't even remotely conform with anyone of the Spriggan. Hence this one has the highest possible chance of being the nameless Spriggan. I also would say it's a woman and the cloths remind me of Gajeel's standard getup and a similar case for her hair. That ponytail with spiky hair reminds me of Gajeel when he had a ponytail at the celebratory feasts after the Grand Magic Games. So she might be connected to him.
August:
Irene/Eileen Belserion:
Invel/Inber:
Bradman/Badman/Bloodman:
Unknown:
Serena:
Brandish μ:
Dimaria Yasta:
Wahl Icht:
Neinhart:
Jacob Lessio:
Ajeel/Azir Ramal:
Considered the be strongest male as the overall strongest of the group.
Irene/Eileen Belserion:
Considered to be the strongest woman of them all and presumably family of Erza Scarlett.
Invel/Inber:
His skills are still a mystery other than that he's an ice mage. He serves as Zeref's right hand man and thus is most likely even amongst the Spriggan very powerful. In the beginning it was also speculated he might be Ul's husband and Ultear's father.
Bradman/Badman/Bloodman:
There's some confusion due to his name as it has been translated differently several times. It's also possible that in the manga itself once a mistake was made in regards to who he was exactly or that the translators screwed up during the translation. Either way there is little doubt now who he is supposed to be; he's the guy who was beating Sabertooth and was referred to as being a grim reaper. He might have been the one who nailed them all to a cross and the most acceptable assumption now is that he uses some kind of blood magic.
Unknown:
There are 12 Spriggans, so we are still one short.
Serena:
The strongest mage of Ishgar who defected to the Alvarez Empire. He has got 8 different dragon lachryma in his body, but got one shotted by Acnologia even before he used half of them.
Brandish μ:
A female mage that has a history with Lucy. She never got really beaten, but still got captured. At this point it seems she's starting to go over to FT's side or in the least take a neutral stance. She was never that pumped up to begin with. She can manipulate the mass of things.
Dimaria Yasta:
She's a descendant of the people of Mildian, which is a reference to Hiro's previous series Rave Master. There it's a special village populated by mages who guard the flow of time and who can be recognized by having strange patterns on their faces. Sieghart was their most prominent member and his character got recycled in the Fairy Tail series as Jellal, hence that symbol on his face. Dimaria can freeze time and take over the soul of Chronos, the god of time. She got beaten by Shelia, Wendy and Ultear.
Wahl Icht:
He's a mecha, though it's not clear whether he was a human that got turned into a mecha or that he always was one. He uses alchemy magic that allows him to transform substances in practically any kind of missile or firearm. On top of that he can create other mecha's that can counter many other types of magic. He got beaten by Laxus.
Neinhart:
Some snobby knight wannabe. He can read people's memories and create duplicates of the people in the memories who have died and who can use the exact same magic as the original one. He got disposed of quickly by Jellal, Erza and Kagura.
Jacob Lessio:
AKA Jason Statham. Jacob's an assassin who uses some dimension-type magic. He was beaten by Lucy, Natsu and Makarov.
Ajeel/Azir Ramal:
A cocky warmongering fighter that itches to pick a fight with anyone. He uses sand magic. He got beaten by Erza and Visca.
So up to this point 6 Spriggan's have effectively been beaten while 6 are still at full strength. Now the title of the next chapter is the "Monstrous Six" which can indicate that the last 6 are in another league than the first 6. This however is open to quite subjective interpretations.
