Forged by the VOID, X is an interdimensional entity with an unclear fascination towards Sonic the Hedgehog. X creates games to draw in new victims purely for its own amusement. An interdimensional entity who hails from the VOID, X is a being whose fascination with humanity and the Sonic franchise created a destructive mix, forming a vessel for an entity whose goal is to spread and cause as much pain and suffering as it can go. It does this by playing various games, some subtle in its sadism, but always rigged to torture and manipulate the players that it forces into these games, using the souls of its new "friends" to fuel the vessels to play its games over and over again. X is a sadistic and cruel monster that possesses an instinctive lust for destruction and pain. It has immense interest in the human race and the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, stealing the souls of people and putting them into the bodies of the franchise's characters. X sees humans as disposable puppets it can manipulate and torture for as long as it likes simply because it wields the power to do so. X's signature trait is his interest in playing games. These games often serve as entertainment for X's sadism, being entirely rigged for the monster to win without a successful escape. X does not savor how inexperienced it is at game design. Similar to that of a young child, it is also extremely short-tempered. X's main appearance looks exactly like Sonic the Hedgehog, having blue fur & quills with peach skin, wearing white gloves & socks with thick cuffs. It noticeably has black eyes, red & white pupils, and grey shoes in place of Sonic's usual red shoes. It consistently cries blood from its eye-sockets at all times, sometimes not at all. It also possesses an unnaturally extended grin across the muzzle, housing yellow fangs that are inconsistent in count. X will rarely show itself, staying in the shadows until the last possible minute. X teases Derek with its presence. Derek doesn't know X exists, but X definitely knows about Derek. And is secretly watching him get closer to an answer, so X can have him for itself.

The main detective for the 2011 murders. This case is the biggest, and most confusing the town, hell, the WORLD has ever seen. All victims found with their jaws ripped off, and no use of weapons. All murders were done with the murderers bare hands. Derek is completely in the dark when it comes to X, he doesn't know what it is. He's only focused on the effects felt in real life. He's reserved, tired, but dedicated.
