Boy in White

The **Boy in White** is a mysterious vision in the Township that traps all those who enter it. He only appears to specific people, and often provides helpful advice.

## Biography

### Background

The Boy in White first appeared to Victor when he was a child in the 1970s, on the day two new cars arrived on the same day. He later reappeared to Victor after everyone else had been killed by the Creatures.

### Season One

After Ethan Matthews and his family settle in at Colony House, Ethan sees the Boy in White outside making a shushing gesture. The next morning, Ethan sees the Boy in White outside his window. Ethan later mentions to Victor that he saw him.

Victor is intrigued, and draws a picture of the Boy in White and asks if it is who Ethan saw. When Ethan confirms that it is, Victor says it means that the Boy was real. Victor and Ethan go in search of the Boy in White in the forest, and he explains to Ethan that it had been so long he thought the Boy in White was a dream, who first appeared after two cars arrived on the same day, just like with Ethan, although long ago. As they talk, Victor reveals that he has been in the Township longer than anyone, but he gets angry and defensive when Ethan asks what happened to his parents. Ethan then reveals that his baby brother, Thomas, died recently. Victor is shocked by this revelation, and Ethan explains that he is telling him because Victor is his friend. Victor then spots the Boy in White and points him out to Ethan, and has them follow.

During the attack on Colony House, Victor helps Julie escape the house, but they are still in danger of getting caught by the Creatures. Victor sees the Boy in White, and follows him into the Forest. They reach a Farway Tree, and both of them climb into the hollow.

Tabitha digs a hole in her basement but the floor collapses and she lands in a cave, where she is found by Victor. Victor says that the Boy in White said she would come, and that he was supposed to wait for her. As tremors shake the house above her, Victor says that it isn’t safe, for the caverns are where the Creatures sleep, and shows her the cave paintings that they make before dragging her off. Meanwhile, Boyd and Sara struggle to make their way through the Forest in search of escape or answers. Boyd collapses in pain due to his spider bites and tells Sara to leave him, saying one of them has to make it back. Sara refuses to abandon Boyd. The Boy in White appears and tells her that Nathan was right and this place and that it is angry now. He tells them to get to safety, and directs her to a Farway Tree. Boyd gets in first, and is transported to the bottom of a dry well.

### Season Two

Tabitha reaches the Lighthouse and climbs the steps, hearing a child’s voice say “anghkooey” from up above. She ascends to the top floor and gazes out at the vast expanse. The Boy in White then apologizes, saying this is the only way before pushing her through the window. Tabitha then wakes up in a hospital, seemingly back in the normal world.
