Gareth

Gareth is one of the main antagonists of The Walking Life. He is the leader of the cannibalistic Hunters.

Personality
Gareth is an articulate, philosophical, cunning and devious man with a puckish and sarcastic sense of humor, who is very nihilistic and engages in cannibalism. Gareth is a completely remorseless murderer who lacks empathy for human beings in general however does show care for his family.

Before his transformation into the villainous Hunters leader, Gareth was a good, generous man who was willing to help others however a brutal attack on him and his friends and family caused Gareth to devolve from a good person to a cunning cannibal and killer. Gareth believes that the atrocities that he has committed can be justified due to the severe trauma inflicted on him. Gareth also takes sadistic pleasure in what he does and also enjoys eating children and babies too.

Despite his calm, cunning and sadistic personality, Gareth is somewhat of a coward and a weakling, showing that he is a pathetic and disgraceful person completely blind to the fact that his actions were too cruel for anyone to show the slightest bit of mercy.

Early Life
At some point in his life, Gareth became a chef at a town named Terminus with his brother Alex and mother Mary, being a good man who only wanted to help people and be a good cook for Terminus. However, a gang of violent men arrived at Terminus and murdered some of the residents and imprisoned Gareth and the others in train cars, also raping all the women there.

After weeks of torture and imprisonment, Gareth and the others managed to turn the tables on the gang and overpower them, reclaiming Terminus but their trauma at the hands of the rapists dangerously twisted all of their minds, particularly Gareth's. They killed all of the rapists except for the leader, who they mentally tortured into insanity by locking him up in a train car and leaving him to rot as well as occasionally mutilating him for food, which they ate in front of him. This sudden turn to cannibalism on the man caused Gareth and the others to cannibalize the rapists they killed, further twisting their minds.

After this, Gareth decided that the world has become evil and convinced his fellow cannibals that by being good people, they were only making themselves vulnerable. Thus came Gareth's decision that from that moment forwards, only people who were willing to accept cannibalism would be welcome to Terminus and anyone who came but refused to adapt to this lifestyle was imprisoned, slaughtered and eaten on Gareth's orders.
