Arlo Thacker

Thacker is a former member of the Pine Guard who had gone to Sylvain to study it but never returned. Years later he is discovered in a feral state and brought back to Amnesty Lodge by Mama. For his safety (and everyone else's) he is kept in a kitchen alcove in the cellar of the lodge. The area is covered by a large net, which is made up of threads described as "shimmering."

Physical Description
Thacker is described as "an older man with unkempt wild gray hair and [a] ratty-looking beard." He is said to be wearing a tattered button down shirt and khakis, and is described as having a black sheen of sorts over his eyes.

Personality
Thacker, post-Sylvain, is almost entirely feral, exhibiting aggressive behavior and animal-like traits. While captive, he sits folded over his knees, head lowered, staring at the floor. However, when the net is removed, he begins to climb onto the ceiling and rotate his head almost 180 degrees.

He appears to be possessed in some manner by an unknown entity.
