This outside force most likely came into play after the events surrounding the Benefactor. I assumed that from what Lydia assumed, I guess. :P He had his powers from since season 4, at least. Doesn't seem right to know that his powers were always there, but not assume that his behaviour isn't a part of him either. How do we know that's an outside source controlling him?

I assume you posted this before you saw my previous post, so I'll just wait for your answer to that.
