| ~ Trinh about her deal with Spencer. |
Dr. Persephone Trinh, also known as The Gentleman is the main antagonist in the fourth season of the horror anthology series Slasher, titled Flesh and Blood. She is an end-of-life specialist with a notable love for bloodlust and slaughter, traits that caused her to commit several malpractices on her career. She was blackmailed by millionaire Spencer Galloway and hired to kill every member of his family who lost a game on which his fortune was on play, hiding her identity with a disguise of the family ghost, ''The Gentleman''.
To hide her identity as The Gentleman, she wears a modified Venetian Bauta mask, a black top hat, and a black balaclava underneath. She also wears a black frock coat, a black puff tie, a black velvet vest accompanied by a silver pocket chain, a white high-collar dress shirt, black dress trousers, black zip-up boots, black ruched leather gloves, and a leather belt.
She was portrayed by Jeananne Goossen. In-costume scenes as The Gentleman were portrayed by Sebastian Buitrago, who also portrayed Baphomet, Andy Lecavalier, and Floyd Dantree in-costume.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Not much is known about Trinh's life. It is only known that she is an end-of-life specialist, which means she works in performing assisted suicides and creating wills. However, she is secretly a sadistic psychopath that enjoys to painfully kill some of her patients. Many rumors have spread throughout her career about several medical malpractices that caused her patients to die horribly.
Shipping millionaire Spencer Galloway discovered these rumors. Spencer was a horrible man who despised his family and viewed them as disappointments that were not worth of inheriting his fortune, but he needed a successor. So he created a game in which his family would fight for his fortune, but to the expense that a masked killer would hunt down the losers, only leaving the winner alive.
Spencer blackmailed Trinh about her malpractices and used her to carry out his master plan. Spencer ordered her to murder his son-in-law, an artist named Reycraft, as a form of test to see if she was suitable for the work. Trinh interrupted in Reycraft's gallery and crushed his head with a machine. To have her fully controlled, he also paid her and promised that this experience would please her urge for slaughter.
Spencer was dying of lung cancer and asked Trinh for her end-of-life services. Spencer wanted to die without pain, but Trinh ultimately betrays him and injects his heart with acid. With Spencer gone, she disguised herself as “The Gentleman,” a family legend about a ghost that lurks in The Galloway mansion, and goes out on a killing spree, viciously murdering losers and non-participants alike.
Motive[]
Trinh has the most straightforward motives from all the killers of the show. She is devoid of any sympathetic traits and doesn't perform her acts out of revenge, mental illness, jealousy, or twisted morals. Instead, she does it purely out of sadistic enjoyment. It is presumed that she had been killing her patients in painful ways throughout her career as an end of life specialist, which show that these traits had always been with her even before the events of the series.
When Spencer discovered all of this, he sought to use her as his personal hitman against his family. She was tasked to murder Reycraft as some sort of test. When Trinh crushed his head with a machine, she only showed sadistic glee on what she did and even plays with the bashed brains of her new victim. This reaction may show that this was the first time Trinh actually personally murdered someone in such a bloody way.
She was also being paid for performing these acts even if she enjoyed doing so. She wouldn't get completely paid unless she actually left one heir standing. This didn't stop her from brutally killing people who weren't participating in the game, like Merle and Birgit, as she saw it as ''juicy opportunities.”
There's also a little bit of self-preservation on what she did, as she was being blackmailed by Spencer and his lawyers if she didn't perform these acts. This however was not the main reason that pushed her in commiting the killings, as she greatly enjoyed what she was doing. Trinh is currently the only killer of the show to be motivated by explicit sadism and can be considered the worst of the villains in the series.
