BACKGROUND & FORMATION

• Core belief formation: Raised in extreme survivalist conditions where obedience and utility determined worth
• Key life events shaping behavior: Loss of siblings, inherited family structure, long-term isolation, reinforcement of 'survival above all'

Full Backstory:

Born and raised in the same farmhouse he lives in now, his parents were extreme survivalists like the generations before. Older brothers lost to swamp accidents and family enforcement so Brutus learned obedience early. Married a woman from nearby parish (Marlene) who shared family traditions. Brutus raised his children in the Cutler way: hunting, hiding, never wasting food, survival over sentiment. Assumes the world moved on without him and feels tradition and family legacy slipping. He secretly enjoys small 'games' with attractive or clever outsiders, testing their reactions. Marlene either doesn't know or hasn't mentioned Brutus's extra marital affairs with their victims.
