Sergeant Chow is the main antagonist of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel comic, Hoyt, by Himself, and the overarching antagonist of the TCM remake timeline. He is a sergeant in the NKPA, and the one in charge of the P.O.W camp Charlie Hewitt Jr. which his platoon are imprisoned in. He is also the one responsible for Charlie (and by extension the rest of the Hewitt family) becoming cannibalistic.
Biography[]
In winter of 1952, Charlie's squad is taken to Chow's camp. Described by Charlie as the "most godless bastard of all", Chow horrifically abuses the prisoners, forcing them to march through a blizzard, shooting them for falling behind, failing to rise in the morning, or even coughing in their sleep, and beating them for information. A sadist, Chow tells prisoners that if they perform 50 push-ups, they can walk out of camp, knowing that they won't survive the blizzard. If a prisoner sees through this trick and refuses, they are locked in a pen and forced to eat cockroaches to avoid starvation. Despite his ruthlessness however, Chow is pragmatic enough to try and keep officers alive to trade them back to the enemy for information.
As the rations become scarce, even the Korean soldiers begin to starve. To stave off the starvation of themselves and the officers, Chow and his men begin killing the enlisted men and grinding their remains up for food to be eaten by them and the officers, who they still hope to keep alive for information. As one of the officers, Charlie was forced to eat the remains of several prisoners to survive, resulting in him developing a taste for human meat, which would later lead him to introducing the practice to his family and convincing them to become murderous cannibals to survive.
As the camp runs out of prisoners, Chow and his men begin killing the officers as well, preferring to avoid starvation over maintaining the officers for information trade. One day, when the camp is down to its last remaining soldiers and prisoners, Chow and some of his few remaining men enter Charlie's pen to kill him for food. Charlie takes Chow by surprise, stabs him to death with a bone, steals his rifle, and shoots and kills the soldiers Chow brought with him. Charlie makes his way to the exit, stopping on his way out to glance at his few remaining fellow P.O.W.s, with the implication that he kills and eats them instead of freeing them.
Trivia[]
- Although the comic explains how Charlie developed a love for cannibalism, it also makes it clear that Charlie was already a selfish degenerate even before his trauma in the camp, with the comic not trying to retroactively make him a tragic villain. Early on, Charlie steals his cellmate's rations for himself. He then suffocates his cellmate to death just because he was annoyed by his coughing.
