Ever wondered about the story behind the killers? Who is the man behind the mask? Who is The Trapper? Who is Evan MacMillan?

Evan, son of wealthy and renowned business owner, Archie MacMillan was born (1905) on the grounds of his father’s vast estate that held their family name, MacMillan. The estate was situated in a town named Weeks, a short way from the larger Wetherfield, and the even larger, Seattle, Washington. The MacMillan estate was a great hunk of land which contained a coal tower, a large storehouse, an ironworks, a mine, and a sprawling wood. The MacMillan’s had gained their fortune from coal mining, the coal they used to ignite the fires of their ironworks, another source of income. It had drawn the jealous and envious eyes of the most pampered families of Weeks and had caused Archie to have a harsh outer shell.

This is the story of Evan MacMillan AKA the Trapper.

  1. His story is sadder than people give it credit for. Even after killing him, he wasn't freed from his father. His cruelty poisoned Evan and made it inevitable that he too would become a victimizer, right as the Entity gripped it's opportunity for a killer. It's so real too.
