History
Childhood
The Mountain Man was a child born with a birthmark covering one of his eyes. For four hours after his birth, he was considered stillborn, with a death certificate even being made for him. When he suddenly started breathing, he didn’t even cry, he just lay silently. He lived with his parents, who owned and ran a hotel high in the mountains. His father, Gunnar often abused him (most likely because of his deformity) and didn’t even consider him his son. The boy’s mother, Sigrid showed great affection towards her son but did not attempt to stop the abuse caused by her husband. One day, Gunnar decided to get rid of his son and chased him into a ditch in the snow before he started to bury him alive. Sigrid just cried beside her husband as he attempted to kill their child. Several days later, after they had reported their son missing, both parents were murdered by the boy in revenge, he first stabbed Sigrid repeatedly in the stomach as she attempted to embrace him and then stabbed his father in the back of the neck after he leaned down next to his wife’s body. After their deaths, the boy wandered around in the cold until he was taken in by a hermit named Jon, whose brother Einar was a police officer. Jon helped the boy cover up the murders by getting rid of the bodies and hiding him from the police.
