After rereading Over the Edge #2, I keep wondering was the demon giant Sojourn meant to be another Great Beast?

Shaman even refers to him as Great Beast, and after defeating him comments, "Go back, join your brethern in the Realm of the Beasts"

Was he meant to be one of the REAL Great Beasts? Or one of the Great Beast of Antiquity?

Thoughts? and if no one knows who I'm talking about, I can post scans if need be
