His (her?) name is the Evangelist, and he (she?) is pretty weird. A few weeks ago, Gorillaz creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett invited fans to submit sketches for a new member of the band called the Evangelist, promising that the winning sketch would be redrawn by Hewlett and added to the band. The finalists included everything from a giant squid to a skeleton nun in a gas mask, but now the winning design has been chosen and I'm not quite sure how to describe it...
Creepy! The Evangelist is meant to be the "light" flip-side to the "dark" Boogieman (who already exists in the Gorillaz universe). No word yet on what role the new character will play in the band, but it probably won't matter because that conceit has pretty much disappeared anyway.
