Face-Eater

**Face-Eater** is the founder and leader of the Hellraiders, a brutal and bloodthirsty raider gang dwelling in Hell, Michigan in 2287.

## Background

Face-Eater was once little Billy McGraw, part of the infamous McGraw clan, cannibals who were responsible for terrorizing the outlying farms of the Motor City Wasteland for generations. It was a lean year when Billy was 10 years old, sometimes the family went weeks without finding victims. When Billy's father brought home a radstag to feed his family, Billy and his little sister Becca refused to eat it. Late one night, Billy and Becca killed their parents; the kids ate well for weeks. It wasn't long until the kids were found by some passing travelers. When asked, the kids said their parents were dead. The travelers offered to take the kids with them, to feed and shelter them. But after two days of refusing the nasty food they offered, the kids killed them while they slept and ate them as well.

Several more groups picked the kids up and suffered the same fate before the pair were taken captive by an upstart raider gang. Locked in cages and half starving, they still refused the slop the raiders ate. When one of the raiders entered Billy's cage to beat some obedience into him, Billy pounced on him like a wild animal and devoured the raider's face off in full view of the entire camp. Most were repulsed, some were terrified, but they all agreed it was the coolest, craziest thing they ever seen. They began calling the kid Face-Eater and sent him on raids with the gang, maybe his craziness would strike fear into the wasteland and earn the gang some notoriety.

20 years have passed and Face-Eater now leads the group, calling themselves the Hellraiders after settling in the town of Hell. In that time, the group has left a legacy of blood across the southwestern Motor City Wasteland. People living nearby fear being "dragged to Hell" by the Hellraiders, a fate that always ends with a slow, painful death at the hands of the gleeful group.

Face-Eater still keeps in touch with Becca, who long ago left the gang and settled down to a quiet life of murdering would-be heroes in Detroit. The duo try to get together for a family meal at least once a year.

## Personality

Face-Eater has known nothing but killing since he was young and found a group that taught him to take joy in the killing. Deep down, Face-Eater is an angry child who likes to smash his toys, or "play with his food" one could say. Unlike most Hellraiders, Face-Eater is not a total psychopath. His unique upbringing has led him to see other people as little more than meat, his earliest memories are of his father butchering people for dinner. The one exception is his sister Becca, whom he cares for deeply. Becca shares this worldview; they may be the only two people in the world who understands the other. The only time Face-Eater goes crazy is when the "hunger" sets in, when he's gone too long between meals. But thankfully, business has been good for the Hellraiders and Face-Eater has a constant supply of fresh meat.

## Trivia

* The lean year when Face-Eater was 10 was caused by the end of the Raider Gang Wars. The city of Detroit became safer and people migrated to the city from the outlying areas.
