The Intruder

The Intruder, also known as Stanley or 6, is the secondary antagonist of the analog horror web series The Mandela Catalogue.

He is an anomalous entity who, despite not being an Alternate himself, closely works with them. He is most known for kidnapping 3,426 children across four separate counties at the same time, prompting the government to outlaw most analog-based technology devices and mirrors by 2009, and also being the host of the The Might of the Subconscious program in order to manipulate children into presumably making Tulpa Alternates.

He has been voiced by an Online Microsoft Sam text-to-speech program in all appearances up to "The Mandela Catalogue: Volume 4", with Leon Rodriguez voicing him in all subsequent appearances.

The Intruder, much like the Alternates, seems to be strategic and calculated when it comes to attacking victims. An example of this is when he causes conflict to make Adam distrust Jonah in order for them to separate from each other in order to kill them easily via M.A.D. He is also implied to be the one tampering with the USDTP's PSAs to spread misinformation about the Alternates through a reliable source in order for people to be more likely to fall victim to them.

He is also shown to be incredibly sadistic, as shown when he smiles on a mother's face after he stole (and likely killed) her child in "Intruder Alert". This is expanded upon on Volume 2, where he reminds Adam of his fate when he was left alone by Jonah, and how he repeatedly torments Jonah with the fact he left his best friend to die.

The Intruder seems to have gained a twisted sense of paternity towards Adam Murray, who he calls his "sweet boy." Becoming enraged should Adam ignore, not acknowledge or forget about his existence. When Adam suggests that there's likely nothing in the Ghost Cat case's house, the video glitches for a second, and when Adam asks the Intruder about his identity, he becomes enraged with the words "you don't remember me" appearing in the close captions. Despite this, the intruder is still determined to dissolve Adam's paranormal society, likely because of the alternates.

He wears a black hoodie, and adidas track pants that are not visible unless he's face to face with you.
