Burnt Man

"You're too little to understand, but I've seen to it that this will be sent to you long after I'm gone so that you might learn who your family was and who killed them and that you might know that your father loved you. Goodbye my son."

- The Burnt Man's final film message to his son, William Lambert

The Burnt Man is the posthumous villain of the reality show (blended with murder mystery fiction) "Murder In Small Town X". He was the biological father of the show's main antagonist, William Lambert.

History
When he was a little boy, he was a member of the DuChamps family who were enslaved by the Order of the Scarlet Lupine who were smuggling tobacco and liquor from Canada to Sunrise, Maine. But in 1941, when the OSL panicked upon the crackdown of the smuggling by the government, they locked him and the rest of the family in a vault alongside the smuggled tobacco and liquor and lit a match set the vault on fire. Luckily, the boy was able to escape although he had burns on the left side of his face. He left Sunrise on foot to avoid being caught by the OSL.

Within a span of the next 30 years, he had dated with an unnamed woman before she gave birth to William Lambert at the age of 15 in 1955. A few years later, their relationship ended.

In 1971, he returned to Sunrise, bent on revenge. He murdered the OSL's founding member, Oscar Blodgett. But he could not bring himself to kill the other members and fled. Isolating himself in a cabin, he filmed his last will and testament to William and committed suicide by hanging himself.

Posthumous
Within a span of another 30 years, William's mother died and he found the film his father made and in 2001, he decided to finish what his father started, by killing the descendants of the OSL in Sunrise. His last intended victim was Sam Larabee, but she was rescued and Lambert was shot down by Chief Dudley Duncan. Angel Juarbee Jr, the investigator who found Sam at Lamert's house then finds a letter written by Lambert to his father.
