Biography
Though, very little is known about Mr. Slausen, he himself tells some things of his past. Slausen was born with telekinetic abilities, which his brother made him suppress by wearing a mask. Sometime, Slausen joined the Navy, but for unknown reasons, he was let go. He met a woman and married her, but she cheated on him with his brother. In a presumably psychotic rage, Slausen murdered them both and immediately regretted it afterwards. Remorseful, Slausen tried to put them back together by making them into sculptures. It can be assumed that Slausen developed the split personality disorder from the trauma of this incident.

One of the boys goes to get a tire, getting distracted by Slausen's house, he goes inside and is killed by Slausen using his telekinesis.
