To add onto what I had already said in my last post, Lovecraftian horrors like Cthulhu, are fully capable of toying with matters of the soul. As Cthulhu is said to consume the souls of our world upon his awakening.

Mirrors could be a reference to Lost Carcosa, something Hastur is intrinsically involved with. Something we can never reach other than by matters of memory, reflections like water or mirrors?

It also explains his similarity to Randall Flagg as it is either confirmed or assumed that Randall Flagg is another shape for another Lovecraftian horror, called Nyarlathotep. An Outer God who is oddly interested with humans and their affairs.

Great Old Ones and the like are beyond concepts such as time and space as they can appear in any time. Even those bound by it is only temporary. "That which is not dead can eternal lie and with strange aeons, even death may die." A reference to Cthulhu stating both how meaningless death and time itself are to the Great Old Ones. Cthulhu himself being rather low on the food chain of the cosmic horrors.

It can also explain his omniscience as they are creatures beyond our very comprehension, simply knowing is something they're very capable of especially with the meaninglessness of time and space to them. They can either just "know" it or witness it for themselves in any fashion they please.
