In EverymanHYBRID, the Rake (might be) a Proxy and is generally along the same lines as the literary depictions of it. In the original creepypasta, it's described as ending the lives of others and driving some to suicide, as well as killing the daughter of a man. One thing concerns me, however: where did you find a source that said the Rake hurt its victims for fun? Was there any implications to its Nyarlathotep-esque sentience in EverymanHYBRID or the like? From what I've read of it, the Rake behaves a lot more like a brutal, feral animal, and in a few stories is depicted more like an alien. It's really enigmatic, to boot, so that comparison to Nyarlathotep might be inconsistent with other judgments of its character unless that behavior is generally accepted.

The thing with Creepypastas is that they're free write and very xpanscand that there's a lot of different ways to interpret them. The Rake's a popular CP, and though its character is largely vicious and brutal, it's difficult to firmly set his character.
