Biography
Early life
Frost was abused as a child by his alcoholic father, who threw him out onto the streets when he was 15. He spent his adolescence in and out of jail and psychiatric institutions, eventually getting a job as a clerk at a flower shop in Great Falls, Montana. Here, he met Francis Goehring, a serial killer who he became obsessed with and became his accomplice. He helped Goehring kidnap women and videotaped him torturing and murdering them, then burying the victims in the garden plot of Goehring's house, using them as fertilizer to grow roses.
"Identity"
After Goehring commits suicide to escape being captured by the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), Frost loses all sense of his own identity, having been totally dependent upon Goehring. He kills Angela Miller, whom he and Goehring had recently abducted, and destroys the torture videos and all other links to his past. He then changes his appearance until he is Goehring's spitting image, down to a self-inflicted scar on his cheek. Frost kidnaps a woman at a gas station and starts to torture her, but is frustrated to find that he cannot derive any satisfaction from hurting her.
Meanwhile, the BAU tracks Frost down, having profiled him as Goehring's submissive killing partner and traced his movements from the gas station. Supervisory Agent Aaron Hotchner tries to negotiate with him, to no avail; Frost's own personality has by now become completely submerged, to the point that, in his mind, he has "become" Goehring, who would never have surrendered to law enforcement.
When Frost refuses to back down, the BAU reluctantly deputizes local militia leader and former Special Forces sniper Harris Townsend, who had earlier helped them find Frost, and tell him to shoot Frost if he tries to kill his hostage. In a final act of defiance, Frost pushes his hostage away and takes aim at Hotchner, forcing Townsend to shoot him in the back, killing him.
