Role In The Story
"The Mystery Murderer". He kills almost everybody in the film. The antagonist and the villain is his intended role, but he is also the donor because he leaves clues behind after each murder.

Age And Description
The age and many other qualities of this character remain unknown throughout the film. He is only seen dressed in all black with a full, billowing cloak. Only at the end do we briefly see him. He is Amanda’s father, middle aged, greying hair, tanned tough skin and looks “rough”.

Core Traits
Crazy with killing and cares for no-one. Well, he was loving, kind and caring up until his daughter was so mercilessly taken from him.

Character Subtext
He now enjoys murdering people to avenge his daughter. He loved her very much and she was all he had. He works part time in a supermarket and he literally scrapes by, living on near to nothing. But he doesn't care, he has nothing left to live for without his daughter.
Flaw
The death of his daughter has sent him on a murdering rampage.

Character Arc
The characters viewpoint throughout the film remains the same. At the start he wants everyone dead. At the end he wants everyone dead.

Want/Need
To punish every single person even slightly involved with his daughter’s death by taking their lives.

Motto
“They are dead to me.”

Mission/Agenda
To kill absolutely everyone who had anything to do with his daughter because they, in his mind, could have saved her. But they didn’t.

He has become mentally unstable by a major life event and it has sent him over the edge.
