Once a small-town doctor with a passion for camping and anything outdoorsy, he was driven insane from anxiety after accidentally killing a patient and was able to evade the authorities for years.

## Biography

Maxwell always loved camping, hiking, kayaking, and anything else that would get him off the grid and out in the wild. He also had a knack for the medical sciences, and decided that he could save his enjoyment of the outdoors for a hobby as he would be much more successful as a doctor. It is implied that Suture had also had experience as an army medic before becoming a doctor. To be honest, he wasn't the best doctor in the country, he wasn't even close, and he hated his job after a few months of it. One day, his boredom and grueling caused him to inadvertently kill his patient. The anxiety of wondering just what to do drove him insane and he fled back to his house to gather whatever supplies he could before running off into the forest, never to be seen again for over two years. Suture was able to evade and throw off any sort of authorities or search party. He became the subject of ghost stories all over the state, no child dared to play in woods with rumors of him having built a cabin where he lives and displays his victims. He was finally captured after over two years of hiding, and from there he was recruited to the crew.

## Appearance

He is of average height and weight. He has curly, greying auburn hair green eyes, and sports heavy unkempt stubble . He appears to be in his 50s, and he wears a pale tan spring jacket over a green dress shirt, and tan khakis. He wears white and green sneakers caked with mud, black rubber gloves and a green circular sticker that reads "I got my flu shot today". He dons an olive green camping pack.
