His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He has killed 171 gangsters and runaways, ranging from ages 20 to 50, having abducted them and vivisected them while they are awake. He also puts mirrors around the place so they could watch their mutilation. When the BAU comes to his workshop, a disturbing amount of blood and chunk is found, showing his brutality. After taking their rib bones, he makes them into chimes and hangs them around his barn.
- Kidnapped Jane Harty and when she showed no fear on her death bed, he spared her and started sending rib bones from his victims to Jane. This moment caused her to become extremely delusional.
- Murdered Reno Rodriguez (a gang member) and Katherine Hale (a runaway), dumping the gang member's rib cage and the runaway's right arm in the same place he killed a man in 1997.
- Attacks Georgia Davis in her home, violently injecting her with ketamine and torturing her at his lair.
- He taunts Jason Gideon by saying that he would feel no care if a woman committed suicide and coldly threatens the husband of Georgia Davis about where he took her.
- Murdered a bus driver and teacher before abducting 15 children and leaving them in a desert.
- Disguised as Gideon, he killed Gideon's girlfriend Sarah Jacobs and placed a piece of her rib bone in her hand.
- He manipulates his way into the house of Rebecca Bryant, the daughter of Randall Garner, and kills her.
- Abducted Tracy Belle, who was nearly killed by Jeffrey Charles, and psychologically tortured her by calling Gideon in front of her.
- In his final moments, he holds hands with Jane and jumps in front of an oncoming train, which causes Gideon gain PTSD.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He cares for two people:
- Despite the possibility that he killed his mother, he still cares for her as he gets angry at Hotch when he talks about her death.
- No matter how twisted it may come, he genuinely wants to love Jane, deciding to stop his killing spree if they are able to stay with each other. Despite trying to kill her a few years before, he stopped himself, showing that despite being a sexual sadist, he has the capacity to feel love.
- He also has genuine standards since he mentions never killing children and mentioned to Gideon that despite his actions, he ultimately would not kill one.
Trivia[]
- Ironically enough, despite playing a serial killer hunted by the FBI, Keith Carradine would later portray FBI Agent Frank Lundy in Seasons 2 and 4 of Dexter, with him investigating the Trinity Killer (another prolific serial killer) in Season 4.
