**Keith Williams**, also known as **Slaw**, is the main antagonist in *Rewind Or Die*.

## Description

### Appearance

Keith Williams is an overweight, half naked middle-aged Caucasian male with short dark brown hair and a beard. He wears a black T-shirt with a man wearing a dog hide over his head printed on it and has a large thorned rose tattoo on his right arm.

As his killer alter ego Slaw, he is entirely naked, wearing only a pair of extra long stimulation elbow gloves, white boxers, a pair of knee-high boots and a decapitated pig's head as a mask. A vertical, poorly sutured surgical scar can be seen on his chest. In his right hand, he carries his weapon of choice, a large meat hook.

Despite being half naked and wearing no body armor, he seems to possess inhuman durability as he was able to withstand many gunshots and keep fighting.

He runs a Video 2 Go rental store where he specifically targets people who had a Video 2 Go account.

### Personality

Keith is a sadistic, deranged psychopath and a murderer who kidnaps people, and takes them to his hideout where he tortures and kills them for his own amusement. He also seems to find amusement in torturing animals he kidnapped. He seems to see himself as a predator hunting prey and revels in watching his victims struggle for life.

Even in his public identity as Keith Williams, he was lazy, mean-spirited, and inconsiderate of those around him, especially his employees, belittling them at any opportunity, limiting things such as break times and days-off, as well as putting the blame on them for anything that happened during their shift, no matter the control they had over the situation.

### History

Keith is the manager of Video-2-Go, a VHS rental store in Greater London, where he was viewed as a bad boss, almost never actually showing up to work in person and treating his subordinates as beneath notice. Unknown to most, this part of him was only a fraction of the man's psyche, as he was secretly a serial killer who was abducting and murdering of several people in the area, all of whom he chose through his position at the video store, evidenced by the fact that all known victims had accounts at Video-2-Go. He would transport them inside a white Chop Shop company van and take them to his hideout, a large slaughterhouse and meatpacking plant that he took over after killing its workers and security staff. Newspaper articles in the secret room inside the store indicate that Keith is responsible for at least 10 murders, but his true body count is undoubtedly higher, judging by the amounts of viscera found in his hideout.

As part of his body disposal, he had a side-business with Chop Shop, a butchery/meat supplier, selliing "Slaw's Mystery Meats", which was advertised as "genuine local produce", euphemistically hiding the true origins of its contents.

In the week *Rewind Or Die* takes place, Keith had already abducted an additional three victims.

## *Rewind Or Die*

In the intro, Slaw is seen killing a captive on a conveyor belt, gruesomely shoving them into a meat grinder.

### Chapter 1

At the start of the game Keith contacts Tony to tell him that a coworker, Michelle, couldn't come to work so he will have to cover for her. He later sends Tony and Dave an e-mail containing instructions to closing down the shop before the end of their shift.

Shortly before 9 o'clock, now dressed as Slaw, Keith crashes a van into a pole to gain the attention of Timothy, a reporter who had just left the store after failing to get any information from the present clerks. He ambushes the reporter while he is surveying the wreckage and takes him to his hideout. Keith returns just after Dave bails on Tony and leaves him to close down the store by himself, appearing outside the store and banging on the window while Tony is sorting movies. Tony tells him to come back tomorrow, but after remaining unresponsive, he is impatiently told to "fuck off", to which Keith finally replies, walking away after saying "I'll be back". He then to proceeds smash the store window in with a cinder block, at which point Tony calls Keith to tell him what happened. Keith, though holding Tony responsible, tells him to board up the window and that he'd come to the store to assess the damage. Keith arrives at the back of the shop and, using his Slaw voice, calls Tony to announce his presence, killing a hobo and barricading the emergency exit before takin dog Zakk and the Captain to his van. He enters the store just after Tony crawled into the ventilation system to escape and stabs through the ducts with his meat hook from below, miraculously missing the target each time. In the exiting alleyway, Keith surprises Tony when he is distracted by the dimembered remains of the hobo, but lets his victim go to allow him a head start in order to make things more exciting. Tony is able to block of the alley path behind him, but Keith shows up again from a garage to continue his pursuit. Tony is caught when the metal platform he is running on collapses, at which point Keith appears to laugh at him before stomping him unconscious.

### Chapter 2

The next day at 13:35, Keith is brought into the police station where he is interrogated by Detectives Harry Johnson and Brian Davis about Tony's disappearance. He is uncooperative with the authorities and acts frustrated at their line of questioning, where he tells them that after receiving Tony's call, he went to the shop at around 10 o'clock and found the interior trashed with his worker missing. After insisting that he had no clue to Tony's whereabouts, Keith is let go due to lack of suspicion.

He returns to the warehouse in time to greet Tony as he awakes from his slumber and tells the newest addition to his "playthings" that he was held up and needs time to prepare the "game" he had in store for him before leaving. He returns shortly after to retrieve and kill Timothy from the adjoining cell, unaware that Tony had escaped from his prison. He does catch on when he hears Tony activate the shutters in the basement activate and accidentally sets off the car alarm of his van, but does not act until he finds Tony searching the inside of a freezer. He locks Tony inside to freeze to death, but he ends up escaping when the ground collapses. Upon noticing this, Keith jumps into the hole after him and chases after Tony as he tries to find a way out.

He encounters Tony again shortly after he retrieved a gun Keith had taken from one of his victims and fights Tony. In the end, Keith is shot at least 15 times, with the hail of bullets causing him to drop to the ground, seemingly dead. When Tony goes for the exit, the still-living Keith reappears and critically injures Tony with his meat hook, but Tony is able to stab him in the stomach with a crowbar. Dazed, Keith falls over the railing, right into the oversized meat grinder he had used to execute and process many of his previous victims. As Tony walks outside, Keith's intact arm can be seen popping out of the grinder's chute, followed by the arm's exposed bone and several ground-up chunks of flesh.

* Slaw was named by COMP-3 Interactive's mom.
* A newspaper article can be found next to the dumpster outside about an abandoned apartment complex known as Eden Heights, which burned down on March 11 after a fire that claimed 22 lives. Its significance to the murders, if any, is uncertain.

* Keith's number given in-game is 555-8113.
