## About John Hall

John's original name is William. He lived between the 17th and 18th century with his mother and sister Annette. His mother would tell them stories about the Faun. One day, when William returned home, he found out his sister gave their mother herbs to kill her. Annette tried to explain their mother was sick and asked for them. He refused to believe her and wouldn't speak for her for years after her passing.

He was familiar with Pisadeira and The Masked Man. After the death of his mother, he teamed up with them against Annette but later regretted it. They all became cursed after watching her burn at the stake. Now every ten years, he "woke up" and hunted for children to sacrifice to the Faun with whom he had a deal with just so he could see his mother again.
