**Mason Wharton** is the co-founder of Hank's Hotdogs alongside Cecil Darnell, and is the central antagonist of The Hotdog Archives. He is the alleged murderer of three of his children, Tommy, Jane, and Angie Wharton; according to police, he took them all to Hank's Hotdogs where he proceeded to dismember them on August 19th, 1975. He was last seen fleeing his home on August 29th, 1975, wearing "a red and yellow Hawaiian shirt, beige fedora, and silver aviator sunglasses." It is implied in ***The Hotdog Archives II*** that he shot himself in the backstage storage room of his restaurant on September 1st.

## Description

Mason Wharton is a short, stocky man in his early 30's. He has short hair and a fair complexion. So far we have only seen him dressed in a dark business suit, with a matching dark tie. According to the news report in Episode One, he has also been seen dressed in vacation clothes (A Hawaiian shirt, fedora, and sunglasses). This confirms that Mason owns more clothes than just his one suit.

## Personality

Mason Wharton is, by all accounts, a sadistic psychopath. His reversed message in Episode One seems to suggest that he cares very little for his children, thus allowing him to brutally murder three of them and hide their remains in his animatronics. When confronted by police inside the backstage room of his restaurant, Mason lamented that Satan would kill him for screwing up "this time." This seems to suggest Mason killed his children as some form of sacrifice, or at least that he was working for Satan to some degree.

It seems he is also rather manic, or at least used to be, as seen in the advert "A Message From Our Founders" from the video ***Hank's Hotdogs Commercial Reel***. He over-enthusiastically asks viewers to try out his restaurant's hotdog buffet and brand new Kentucky-fried wiener dogs, and offers to reward customers with a discount if they can beat his record of eating 5 of them in 30 minutes. When Cecil walks off to go shut the camera off, Mason runs up and grabs it, shaking it around as he demands the viewer to "get their ass[es] off the couch" and come to the restaurant. This manic behavior heavily contrasts with his quiet, unexpressive demeanor in ***The Hotdog Archives II***.

Mason is also shown to be as cowardly as he is irrational; rather than deal with Satan or the police about to arrest him, he opted to instead shoot himself under the pretense of needing to "go to the bathroom." This would prove to be detrimental, as it seems his spirit became bound to Hank Hotdog.

Overall, pretty bad person, and pretty bad dad, let's be honest.
