* WhatAnIdiot: Go to the location of multiple murders with a guy who knows an absurd amount of detail about the serial killer responsible for said murders, ''and'' looks and sounds just like him? Sounds like a great idea! Hey, just for good measure, why don't you insult the creepy guy to his face? Repeatedly?

[[quoteright:266:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adrianhookskiller_4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:266:The Adrian Tamil incarnation of The Hooks Killer.]]
->'''Played By:''' [=DeathlyLogic=]
->'''Appears In:''' [=handprintsofthedead=]
A powerful and mysterious SerialKiller, with a very strange past.
----
* DealWithTheDevil: He's implied to have made a deal with The Carver, likely on the say
* DemonicPossession: Surprisingly subverted: while Hooks ''appears'' to be a possessing entity, he's actually a glitched human "program" who's able to move between the different timelines (and versions of himself) at will.
* DimensionalTraveller: He's the original Barnabelt Kinnard of the Fearful Four, moving between the various timelines of .Reality at will (by exploiting the Debigrath Effect).
* EatsBabies: He has eaten at least one infant victim (which may or may not have been [[spoiler: his own child]]).
* EvilSoundsRaspy: His voice is consistently rough and gravelly. (However, the reason behind it varies from timeline to timeline; in one version, he allegedly acquired both his nickname and his gravelly voice after [[{{Squick}} consuming human flesh laced with fishhooks]].)
* IHaveManyNames: He's lived under many names in many different timelines. His known identities include Barnabelt Kinnard, King Comshine Orok, Adam Spirit (multiple versions), and Adrian Tamil.
* ImAHumanitarian: He has consumed the flesh of his victims on multiple occasions.
* InSeriesNickname: Quite a few. He's primarily referred to as "Hooks", but he's also been known as The Hook, War, The Killer, the New Comshine Killer, and Copycat King Orok.
* LegacyCharacter: To King Comshine Orok (though Barnabelt Kinnard was his first incarnation).
* NiceHat: He occasionally sports a rather nice top hat. It's another hint about his ties to [[spoiler: the Carver (and De’ebo, by extension)]].
* OccultBlueEyes: He sports them during his [[MissingEpisode livestream finale videos]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Allegedly, he [[{{Squick}} sexually assaulted]] [[UpToEleven several]] ''[[UpToEleven infants]]''.
* SerialKiller: In 2015, he admits to having murdered over 300 people in the New Comshine area alone. And this is just ''one'' of his incarnations...
* SoulFragment: He possesses a shard of The Carver's soul (which, according to WordOfGod, instilled in him his murderous skills and abilities and essentially helped him become "a perfect killer"). Said shard is transferred into the vessel of Luke Anton on May 15th, allowing Carver to enter .Reality.
* WouldHurtAChild: He has canonically [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped]], killed, and eaten at least one infant.

!!Lucifer Anton
-->'''Appears In:''' ''Handprints of the Dead''.
-->'''Played By:''' Zayne V.
A college kid who is working on a documentary about The Hooks Killer.
----
* AssholeVictim: Luke’s a rude, lazy, obnoxious, self-centered kid who has zero regard for the feelings of others. The video opens with him bragging about sexually humiliating a female acquaintance (“a bitch”) during a drug and booze-fueled [[WildTeenParty retreat]], and he repeatedly insults his filming partner (who happens to be The Hooks Killer himself) to his face. He's so unlikable that it's hard to feel bad for him when [[spoiler: Hooks cuts him open]].
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Every time he appears on camera, he's wearing something with red in it -- [[spoiler: {{Foreshadowing}} his future connection to The Carver]].
* DemonicPossession: He ends up becoming a (temporary) meat suit for [[spoiler: The Carver]]. Would count as a LivingBodySuit...if Hooks hadn’t [[spoiler: cut open his chest and played with his internal organs]] before he [[spoiler: channeled The Carver]] into his body. (Of course, [[FridgeHorror it’s possible he was still alive after that...]])
* FusionDance: While it isn't stated, it's heavily implied that [[spoiler: The Carver became bound to Luke's body, Arknza-style, after he was summoned into it]].
* IdiotBall: He agrees to work with a strange man who looks like, calls himself, and knows a disturbing amount of information about The Hooks Killer -- and then goes with him alone to a pseudo-isolated location where ''multiple notorious murders took place''. All for the possibility of getting a good grade on a school project. Even if [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Luke doesn't believe the man with him to be the real Hooks Killer]], it's still not a very bright idea to hang around a weird loner who names himself after a serial killer and wears a mask that looks like human skin!
* KilledOffForReal: If [[spoiler: Hooks cutting open his chest and playing with his innards]] didn't do the trick, he's later [[spoiler: shot in the head by Azrael's revolver, killing his vessel and sending The Carver (who is bound to it) to the Infernous]]. There, The Carver [[spoiler: remains bound to Luke's (still mortal) form, which becomes wounded in a fight with Ellpagg and dies in the Infernous -- [[DeaderThanDead effectively destroying anything that still remains]] of Luke Anton.]]
* MeaningfulName: His first name, Luke, is short for [[TheDevil Lucifer]] -- a reference to the fact that he's destined to [[spoiler: become the vessel for The Carver, one of the beings hinted to be the inspiration for the Devil]]. His surname, similarly, is a reference to [[UsefulNotes/{{Satanism}} Anton Lavey]]
* TheSlacker: He constantly goofs off and is perpetually lazy, putting little effort into anything he does. He only agrees to work with "Hooks" because he thinks it will land him an easy A on his psychology project (and a ride to the medical school his father wants him to attend) -- and he doesn’t even put any work into ''that''. Lampshaded by Hooks, who points out that he doesn’t even make the effort to wear the same shirt between videos.
* WhatAnIdiot: Go to the location of multiple murders with a guy who knows an absurd amount of detail about the serial killer responsible for said murders, ''and'' looks and sounds just like him? Sounds like a great idea! Hey, just for good measure, why don't you insult the creepy guy to his face? Repeatedly?
