The Mail Carrier

It is said that if one were to write a diary or journal while within the Backrooms, once they are deceased, a mysterious entity called "The Mail Carrier" would retrieve their memoir and deliver it to the victim's close ones.
== Description ==
Entity 133, AKA The Mail Carrier, is an entity that, unlike the mail carriers of the Frontrooms, delivers the diaries and journals of those who have unfortunately succumbed to the horrors of the Backrooms.
== Behaviors ==
There are very few reports on how The Mail Carrier behaves, but it is well known that it is somewhat shy, and is unwilling to show itself to wanderers.
== Casualties Caused by The Mail Carrier ==
Though The Mail Carrier isn't hostile to wanderers, it can still indirectly have negative effects on those who are unlucky enough to experience them. Some of them being,
* Feeling of paranoia when stalked by The Mail Carrier for holding onto a lost diary.
* Disappearing within a week after reading The Mail (Lost diaries mailed by The Mail Carrier).
* Odd behaviors when reading and subsequent to reading The Mail given by the entity.
== Appearance ==
All descriptions of The Mail Carrier's appearance within the Backrooms are different. There have been multiple sights of this entity being an animal, human, or even an object. Despite this, all of the wanderers who have claimed to see it had one detail in common—its tall, slim figure approximately 1.5 times the height of the average human.
In its most common form, it wears a butler outfit and a top hat, protectively carrying a brown leather briefcase as it strides across levels. The briefcase is believed to possess four-dimensional properties, making it easier for The Mail Carrier to hold a large number of diaries.
== Seen in ==
Because of all the places The Mail Carrier goes to collect lost diaries, his creature is believed to possess the ability to traverse all levels in the Backrooms. How it does this, however, is unknown. 
There is one level that The Mail Carrier never enters — Level 26. The Mail Carrier cannot retrieve lost diaries in Level 338, keeping away from partygoers at all times. 
The Mail Carrier can be seen in the Backrooms retrieving lost diaries. When a wanderer holds onto a lost diary, The Mail Carrier may stalk them for extended periods of time, leading weak-minded wanderers to suffer symptoms of paranoia. When in this situation, one of three outcomes will happen.
・The Mail Carrier will eventually lose interest in the lost diary and leave it in the hands of the wanderer.
・ If the diary is placed on the floor and left behind, The Mail Carrier can and will retrieve it.
・ In rare cases, it will be stolen while one is asleep. In such cases, the wanderer will find a sticky note on their belongings that says "Sorry."
One can sometimes catch glimpses of The Mail Carrier retreating in long, smooth strides if they were to open their front door fast enough when receiving mail from it.
== The "Mail" ==
The people who receive mail from The Mail Carrier will always lock themselves in their rooms and proceed to read the mail without stopping. They will not do anything except read the mail until it is finished. One person kept reading for 4 days straight, which lead to severe sleep deprivation and dehydration.
Any attempt to enter the closed room will result in the person screaming at them, telling them to not come in. If one were to barge into the room regardless, they would find that the person has disappeared. Trying to make contact with people that have disappeared in this way has not yielded any results.
After they have finished reading the mail, they will immediately erase the mail by any means necessary, usually by burning it. Since the room is closed, smoke inhalation may cause the person to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. When burning it isn't an option, they will rip the mail into shreds using tools, teeth, bare hands, and other methods. Once shredded, they will proceed to swallow the remnants of the mail.
When the person comes out of the room, they will have no recollection of most of these actions. Even when confronted with solid proof, they will deny it and say that they only remember reading the diary that was mailed to them, claiming to not know its current whereabouts.
Most people who have finished reading the mail will go missing in a week. This has been proven to be avoidable. If a person who has read the mail were to be watched for a week, they will be safe from disappearance.
== Motives/Objectives ==
Though the objective of The Mail Carrier is not clear, there are many theories as the why The Mail Carrier goes out of it's way to collect and return the lost diaries.
Here are some of the most popular theories.
・The Mail Carrier was once a wanderer themselves, hence the unknown author hard case journal without a title (Also known as log 5) found by Ace in "(Placeholder)". As a result of their deaths, it wanted the family and friends of other victims to find closure where its own could not. This theory also backs up the discussion of there only being one Mail Carrier.
・The Mail Carrier feels sympathy for those who had to endure the despair the Backroom caused, only ending in an uneventful death that no one will ever know about, urging The Mail Carrier to at least give those who have written their story to those they care about.
・The Mail Carrier is an entity that works for someone or something else, hence the butler clothes. (Objective Unknown)
There are also theories that The Mail Carrier has malicious intent in it's actions, the most popular one being "The Cycle Theory"
=== The Cycle Theory ===
This theorizes The Mail Carrier understands the bond between those who already know the victim is much stronger than the bond of strangers. By mailing the diary to the unfortunate wanderer's close ones, it urges them to enter the Backrooms for some unknown reason. This theory is evidenced by the disappearances of those who recently received mail from The Mail Carrier. Nobody knows if The Mail Carrier has tampered with the diaries, but it is most likely, hence the abnormal things that happen when reading one.
== Possible Masters? ==
There have been many guesses as to who it serves, the top 3 being:
* The Storyteller
* Hubris
* Humble
Because of The Mail Carrier's actions, its master will most likely be somewhat interested in either the wanderers or their tales. It may also be best to think that the master of The Mail Carrier is non-hostile towards wanderers (unless The Cycle Theory is true). If one were to think about it, The Mail Carrier has the ability to travel through all but one level, so it could be an easy task to dominate all of the Backrooms. At the same time, The Mail Carrier's master may not have full control over it, hence the sticky notes that it sometimes gives to people, proving that The Mail Carrier has some sort of autonomy.
== Do's ==
* Ignore it. It minds its own business and is shy, but polite when approached.
* Help it collect lost diaries from partygoers.
== Don't ==
* Give it a reason to stalk you. Keep possession of lost diaries only when absolutely necessary.
* Try to follow it. Following The Mail Carrier has left many wanderers astray.
