Tim is a level-headed, cautious person, but he is not afraid enough of his advisories for them to disable him. He has a good sense of humor, which he uses often to make light of certain situations; he seems to be a calm individual on the outside, hiding the fact that he is a scared man who only wants to escape from the hell he is in. He appears to be very distressed and extremely upset over his condition, having huge blackouts and being unable to awaken for long periods of time, with no recollection. When Tim experiences blackouts, he assumes the persona known as the Masked Man, a separate entity that manifests primarily when exposed to the Operator. This transformation explains why Tim has no recollection of his actions during these periods. Masky, characterized by his silence and the mask he always wears, displays violent and animalistic behavior, often acting as an “attack dog” when working alongside the Hooded Man. Tim is known to be secretly sensitive to things; it is unknown whether the Masked Man is the same, but as he wears the mask, it is difficult to tell, although he may have similar feelings over his condition and everything he and Tim go through. References throughout the series suggest that Tim may suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), a disorder that could account for the distinct separation between his calm, reserved personality and Masky’s volatile, predatory nature. However, it could also be the influence of the Operator, which is left for speculation. Throughout Marble Hornets and in the tapes, it as implied that Tim may have been stalked by the Operator since his childhood. His connection to the Operator may have been the domino effect of the series where everyone indirectly got involved. Tim was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child. Tim smokes cigarettes. Tim showed signs of health problems (e.g., coughing, headaches). He has his fair share of mental problems. He has the inability to feel happiness. But he’s one of the best people to be friends with.
