Carl Anderson

"God, please. I can't take this any more. How can he - do this to me? My ears - my hands."

- Carl Anderson is getting the taste of his own medicine

Carl "Torturer" Anderson is one of the nine Metro City serial killers from 2005 survival horror game for Xbox 360 and PC Condemned: Criminal Origins. The main protagonist of the game, FBI agent Ethan Thomas, never meets Carl in person, but has been investigating his case hor a long time. His Modus Operandi is the cruelest among all serial killers terrorizing Metro City - he abducts his victims, tortures them through mutilating their bodies in horrible ways and releases them into the hallways of abandoned St. Joseph's Secondary School for the Severely Troubled - his former school and current hideout. Carl continues to torment his victims by stalking them and not letting them escape from his lair until their sanity shatters, thus bringing them to commiting suicide, which still counts as a murder. During the events of the game, Carl becomes a next target of the Serial Killer X Leland Vanhorn.

Appearance
Carl Anderson is a white male with messy dark brown hair, thin body built and average height. He wears a mud green jacket, discolored pants and black boots.

Personality
Judging by the fact that he was admitted to the St. Joseph's school for the Severely Troubled, Carl was a mentally desturbed youngster with violent tendencies.

He shows no comprehension of how atrocious his acts were, being clueless as to why  Leland is torturing him. It reveals him as an ultimate hypocrite, also making him seem pretty naive and even psychopathic, given the fact that he was okay with inflicting suffering upon others without any empathy or remorse. Same can be said about the fact that he described his twisted fantasies to his PE teacher Samuel Tibbits, which could potentially sabotage Carl's goals. Carl later paid Samuel back for revealing his secret by making him his last victim.

Carl is possibly a skilled stalker and has enough strength and weapon proficiency to grotesquelly harm people of different sexes and ages, nevertheless he loses to Leland Vanhorn after being kidnapped, beaten and tortured by him. His hideout being the abandoned school implies he was most likely living in poverty.

Carl is suicidal as well, having enough will and courage to impale himself on a fire poker after not being able to endure the pain of Leland Vanhorn's torture.
