Hello, it is just as the title says, i'm having a hard coming up a good name and title for for character whom is a dreaded cannibal. For now this character has a place holder name of "Man-eater Ichabod" . Does anyone has a good suggestion?

"Maneater" can actually work as a title. So could other variants like "Hunter of Men" or the like.

When it comes to titles, you've got plenty to choose from. Off the top of my head, there's:

  • Scavenger, Devourer, Reaper, Shearer, Grinder
  • The Dread Fang, The Hunter, The Devil's Maw, The Scarlet Terror
  • Blood-Reaver, Bone-Breaker, Skull-Crusher
  • Mad Wolf, Saber Tooth, Vulture

Names are a bit tougher to come up with, though I'd wager that a couple of those listed above could be used as a name instead. In any case, Craven is the first one that comes to mind, and Bishop is a close second. There are probably some bands or band members you could crib off of too, like Kamelot or Manson, respectively. But if you're going for a cannibal and want something with a bit more context and/or menace, it might be worth it to use Beelzebub (or an abbreviation of it). Failing that, you might be able to find a name in the Ars Goetia.

Lots of choices, so just keep your story's context in mind and look for options in some off-the-wall places. How many of the names I listed here are from Marvel Comics? Enough, I'd say.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions, those examples make for a fine title.

Now, I wonder what will be a name fitting for such a character? For note, the name is given to the character by his enemies(those that are lucky not to be eaten anyways). This character also has a has white hair and wears something similar to a priest's coat, and wields one saber and a broken blade.
