- Complete Monster: Franklin Rood is a Serial Killer known as the Gryphon. He breaks into women's houses and murders them with a garrote wire, molesting their corpses, claiming their heads as trophies, and leaving a figurine of a gryphon at each crime scene. By the beginning, Rood has already murdered three women, along with a baby. As he scouts the apartment of his next intended victim, he is noticed by her neighbor, who he promptly strangles, beheads, and strips her corpse naked. When his intended target escapes, he follows her to her boyfriend's house, and kills the cops on duty as well as her boyfriend. Later, he takes her to a secluded cabin and tries to rape her, then behead her while she's still alive. On the way to prison, he murders the guards in the bus, and an inmate who was harassing him, before heading to his target's workplace and shooting everybody in sight. Viewing his crimes as works of art, Rood has a severe god complex and is willing to take out as many people as he could just to reach her.
- Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Rood, maybe. The movie only shows that he was bullied by a few kids in the schoolyard. This does nothing to explain his violent, misogynistic tendencies.
