Baker

* Main Canon
* Secondary Canon

Baker was a cameraman for his friend, Ben's YouTube channel and clown hunter in Sydney, Nova Scotia in 2016. He was super close with his friends Ben, Josh, Kaliber, and his sister Taylor just as an epidemic of clown sightings swept the world and made its way to the small town of Sydney.

His fame was made on YouTube when Ben took him on as a cameraman to document all of their killer clown encounters from November to December of 2016, a little over a month of the town being terrorized. After having killed the Killer Clown, Ben abandoned his YouTube channel and friends, being unheard from again and living a quiet life alone, leaving the past behind him, thus Baker's friendship ending with him as Baker moved on from everything that had happened.

## Biography (Main Canon)

### Early Life

Baker was born sometime in 2008 and had an older sister named Taylor. During his childhood, Baker became friends with others in the neighbourhood such as Ben, Josh, Kaliber, Cody, and Jayden.

### First Clown Encounter

On November 6, 2016, Baker accompanied his friend Ben who was kicking off his new "Vlog" series on his YouTube channel. They walked along a dark trail with Baker's sister Taylor filming while Baker stayed behind the camera. Ben talked about how he was planning to do new videos on the channel in the form of adventure and exploration type content. As he's talking, a glowing symbol of a hoodie can be spotted in the distance. Ben stops and questions it to his friends while Baker wonders what it could be before Ben addressed the person with a simple "Hey". They hear no response and the person gets closer, revealing themselves to be who became known as the Killer Clown, swinging a baseball bat towards the camera.

Ben immediately takes off running with Baker and Taylor following close behind, however the Clown stays on Taylor's tail. Turning the corner onto Fairview Street, Ben confronts the clown head-on who takes a swing at him with his bat, but Ben is able to grab it and hits the clown in the knee, taking him out of the fight. They continue running and the video cuts off.

### In Search

The following night, Baker returns to the trail with Ben and Taylor to locate the Killer Clown and teach him a lesson. Ben searches around with a small flashlight but can't find anything that points to the Clown still being out there. As Ben opts to turn around, he tells Baker, who's filming, to look around the bushes as they head back. Just when they do so, an unsettling laugh is heard in the distance, startling them all. They argue whether or not they can see anything just as the Clown makes his presence known, standing in front of them with his metal baseball bat. Everyone starts running, but Ben turns around and starts telling the Clown to drop the bat and take him in a fight. The Clown ignores this and keeps swinging his weapon, but he eventually slams it to the ground when Baker and Taylor join in. The Killer Clown grabs Ben and the two scuffle, grabbing at each other and moving into the shrubbery as Ben knees him in the stomach. Ben soon gets the upper-hand and shoves the masked person to the ground and they run off once again.

### Kidnapped

The next day, Ben takes to the local park to make an update video and discuss what has been happening for his YouTube audience. As he talks and Baker films, the cameraman notices the Clown enter the park and stand alongside the corner of the building. Baker has a shocked reaction and Ben thinks his friend his messing with him. Kaliber, a friend of the group, also enters the park and calls out to them, but he's struck in the face with the Clown's metal baseball bat, knocking him out cold as he's dragged away. Ben calls out for Baker to stop recording, which he does.

Ben soon finds his friend laying against a small hill with his face covered in blood from the hit. Ben runs out of the area to call 911, and when he returns with Baker and Taylor, Kaliber is gone. All that remains is his blood scattered across the area and the Clown's signature weapon. While Ben investigates, a cry for help is heard, causing Baker to run off with the others in its direction towards the park.

Hours later in the night, Baker still searches for his friend alongside Ben who says that the police couldn't find him and his parents had been notified. Another cry from Kaliber is soon heard in the distance, so Baker, Ben, and Taylor follow it down the dark trail. Despite not being able to see anything, they follow Kaliber's voice which eventually leads them to both him and the Clown who takes off running. Kaliber comes over to them and Ben checks him over for any cuts or lacerations, but Kaliber insists he's fine. Suddenly, the Clown turns around and starts charging at them all.

### Death Of A Clown?

Returning the next night, November 9, 2016, Baker tagged along with Ben, Taylor, and two new friends to help: Josh and Cody. Josh is the neighbour of Baker and longtime friend of Ben. Josh remarks that he's been studying the clown in hopes to uncover his identity as they all begin walking down the dark trail the Clown typically lurks at. Everything is kept lighthearted just when Josh turns around and goes into the shrubbery of the trail, telling everyone that he's found "fresh tracks," but then claims nothing is there. They continue searching around the immediate area and don't find much as Josh tells the audience about a trail that's behind a nearby company called "Midland" right when Ben notices something on the ground up ahead. Getting closer, it's revealed to be a piece of paper. Ben picks it up and notes that it's wet and reads, "Rip From: Klown" with a drawing of the Killer Clown on it. Josh then picks up another artifact, the Killer Clown's mask and Ben picks up the baseball bat and sweater of the Clown.

Returning with a flashlight, Ben and Josh show the items off more and notice details such as dirt on the Clown's mask. An idea is tossed out that there might be more than one clown, something Ben agrees is a possibility. But in the end, their final decision is to leave the items there and return the next morning to see if they've been taken or not, closing out the night and their video.

### Stalked

Letting a few days pass, Baker, Ben, and Taylor re-embark once again with newcomer, Jayden, on November 13, 2016, to see if the Clown took his mask, bat, and sweater or not. As Ben is introducing the focus of the video, Baker notices something on the fence of the park behind Ben and drives towards it on his bike. Ben turns around and notices the Clown's mask and baseball bat positioned on the fence. Ben immediately urges they get onto the trail to see if they can catch the Killer Clown without his mask on if he's lurking nearby. However, before he can finish his sentence, Ben hears and turns around to see the Killer Clown coming up on them, bat in hand. They all start preparing to flee and Ben tells them to go, but the Clown approaches too quickly, much more hostile than before. As Ben speaks to him, the Killer Clown takes off after Jayden, and Ben tries to grab him but fails, chasing the Clown down the trail. The Clown is able to grab Jayden and throws him into the shrubbery, spraining the young boy's wrist. Baker quickly rides off on his bike to avoid the danger. Ben gets ready to fight the masked killer, but he's hit with the baseball bat and runs off because of his injury, telling Taylor to cut the video.

### Attempt

A full week with no clown sightings, Baker continued helping film videos, but Ben is hopeless in seeing the Clown again as he walks down Heartwood Drive with Baker, Taylor, and childhood friend and cameraman, Vengeful. Ben says he'll have to cut most of their footage right when he notices what looks to be someone breaking into a house. The person jumps over the front step of the house and runs off when he wears this, leaving behind a screwdriver, baseball bat, and flashlight. Freaked out and assuming it could have been the Killer Clown, they all turn around and go back the way they came, avoiding trouble. Ben says he thought he saw patterns similar to the Killer Clown's mask on the person's mask, along with the bat saying what he believed to be the same thing the Clown's bat says on it. Just as they turn the corner onto another street, the Killer Clown walks out of a backyard and ambushes the group, grabbing Ben and grappling with him. Ben is able to knock him down and prepares to leave, but the Clown tackles Baker and begins hitting him. Baker suffers some hard hits to the head, yet Ben also saves him but the Clown holds his leg, not letting him go. When finally breaking free, Ben runs off with Baker and Vengeful, but Taylor gets grabbed by the Clown and their video for that day ends.

### Hunting

Two days later, Baker assists Ben with his plans to catch the Clown on his dirt bike, accompanied Josh, and Taylor. Josh joined them with his personal dirt bike and Baker filmed from his four-wheeler driven by Taylor. They all drive down on the trail behind Midland and spot the clown towards the end of it. Ben parks his dirt bike and orders Baker and Taylor to get closer as the Clown runs from them. Ben gets off of his bike and pursues him on foot, but he can't keep up due to the amount of gear he's wearing.

### Revelations

Two weeks pass by and on December 5, 2016, Baker goes out with Ben and Taylor. The trail is covered in snow and Taylor quickly realizes a weird face imprint in the snow, with the word "Klown" written below it. Ben is weirded out enough he wants Baker and Taylor to hurry up down the trail. As they continue looking, they soon spot a clown behind them. However, this clown isn't the one they're used to, it's a new one dubbed "the New Killer Clown," carrying a fire extinguisher as a weapon. They all run swiftly but start slipping on ice, giving the New Killer Clown time to catch up to them and almost get them before the video ends.

### Two-Betrayals

Ben assembles a group consisting of himself, Baker, Cody, Josh, and Josh's friend, Max to join him so they outnumber the New Killer Clown and unmask him. As Baker starts recording, the group spot the Clown in the field of the park by himself. All five of them charge the new killer and Josh tackles him, almost ripping off the mask just when Max suddenly and unexpectedly pulls Josh off of the clown, confusing Ben who calls out after Max. Max begins running off and out of the park and Ben gets ready to chase him as the Clown runs in the opposite direction, successfully escaping and cementing the fact Max must be working with the rival group. After the fact in a new clip for the video, Josh discusses an un-uploaded video where the Clown injured Ben and Josh had to fight the Killer Clown off, a scary encounter for them both. As Ben films this, Josh notices Max back in the park and running through the field, so they all go after him, however Max is too fast and Ben ends the video off.

### Discovery

Walking down a snow covered Fairview Street, Ben believes he saw the New Killer Clown walk into the front yard of someone's property. Baker begins recording and follows Ben as he goes to confront the killer. Walking onto the property, Ben realizes it is the Clown and that he's armed with a revolver, something he lays down on the front steps of the house. Ben picks up the weapon and cocks it, pointing it at the New Killer Clown, wanting him to reveal his identity. The Clown tells Ben he wants him to shoot, and after repeating it, Ben pulls the trigger, shooting the New Killer Clown in the chest as he drops into the snow. Ben and Baker flee and Ben starts breaking down over the fact he shot someone. The New Killer Clown, actually Fennett's friend, Kaliber, is left in the yard to bleed to death from his wound.

Mere minutes later on the infamous trail, Baker, Ben, and now Taylor see the Killer Clown. Ben walks towards the Clown with the loaded gun. The Killer Clown says that Ben killed his friend, but Ben says he didn't mean to and that he doesn't want to do this, he just wants to end the terror. He aims the gun at the Clown who says his friends are surrounding the area, but Ben pleads with him anyway to take the mask off before things turn bad. The Clown says don't shoot, but Ben shoots him in the lower-stomach, causing him to grasp at it in pain. Ben orders him to remove the mask one final time, and he does, revealing himself to be Josh the entire time, working an elaborate plan with Kaliber and Max. Shock overcomes Ben as he asks Josh where Max is, and Josh tells him he got others in the organization to kill him. Taylor is ordered by Ben to call an ambulance as Josh tries to tell him one last thing, but before he can, he succumbs to his gunshot wound and passes out, falling into the snow, soon dying. Running, Ben takes the camera from Baker and tells him that no one will ever see him again, ending the video and disappearing from there-on-out, Never being heard from again.
