#deerstalker lore

so this post is just a small bit of lore of deerstalkers mask, which for is in shape of a deer's head, but also is only half deerskin the other half is human skin, after a few weeks after he murder his family he saw a decay deer with no skin and the body was left the meat was left to rot so he would followed foot steps of a hunter seeing the man at his camp, and invite him over to his cabin (was the families cabin but its just him) he was very persistent about it until the hunter final went with him and then Hartford tried to kill the man where the man called him many things like animal and before Hartford had chopped the guys head off with an axe he called him a monster which Hartford took very personally, because Hartford doesn't see himself as an evil man he "saved his family" so he took the hunters skin and the deer's coat to make his mask

which also kind of means the mask and when he puts it on, its like a separate persona, he acts like a psycho when he has it on because to him its gonna be the monster people are gonna see him as so he might as well show people that he can be that person
