Scarecrow Halloween Variant
Scarecrow Artwork and Bio.
The Scarecrow, also known by his real name Kenneth Jesperson, is a removed character from Manhunt.
He was the former leader of The Smileys, before falling out of favour with Lionel Starkweather, due to him (Kenneth) being responsible for the Piggsy debacle and has since become a tramp. Considering this, it is possible he was once an inmate of Darkwoods Penitentiary.
However, his persona of a tramp suddenly changes whenever he puts on his mask and he becomes violent suddenly, wielding a home-made axe, assuming he could suffer from split personality disorder. During Halloween, Scarecrow puts a pumpkin on his head.
In-game bio
The following was taken from the bio included with the Scarecrow artwork.
Bio - Formerly the head hunter amongst the Smileys, Kenneth Jesperson was stripped of his mask and rank for being responsible for the Piggsy debacle. Now chastised and long past simple derangement, he sleeps rough in the streets of the areas, desperately hoping to find and kill Piggsy and redeem himself in the eyes of the commander and his sponsor..... Dressed in rags he resembles any other derelict until he dons the mask and weapon of his scarecrow persona.
Weaponry - Jesperson has a crude yet deadly home-made axe wielding it with savage intensity.
Audio - If encountered as a tramp, Jesperson just makes indistinct mumblings and typical drunken rants, however when transformed into the scarecrow his past as a Smiley comes to the fore and he descends into maniacal tittering and sibilant hissing.
Trivia
- The Tramp has the same features as Scarecrow, indicating that the Tramp is possibly the Scarecrow. However, Tramp's name is different and he appears to be a different person all together.
- His last name is a reference to Keith Jesperson, also known as the "Smiley Face Killer" fittingly enough, considered that Scarecrow was the leader of the Smileys.
- He appears to be based upon the famous Scarecrow from the DC Universe series.
