Thomas Hewitt

Leatherface is depicted as a member of the deranged and cannibalistic Hewitt family, living in rural Texas. The character is often portrayed as a force of pure evil, driven by a twisted sense of duty to his family and a desire to satisfy his insatiable bloodlust. Thomas Brown Hewitt, also known as Leatherface, is the main antagonist of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and the secondary antagonist of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. Leatherface's given name is Thomas Brown. Leatherface in this continuity suffers from facial disfigurement, a skin disease, that caused severe deformities and tumors to his face. Due to this disfigurement, other children bullied the boy. He wore a small leather mask to cover up his deformity, and worked at the same slaughterhouse where he was born, for the same boss as his mother and the same man who had left him for dead. He has a very large build and is believed to stand at 6’7". He also had a tendency toward self-mutilation. Leatherface's given name is Thomas Brown Hewitt and after his mother Sloane died giving birth to him in August 1939 at the Blair Meat Co., a slaughterhouse where she worked, and her uncaring boss leaves the infant to die in a dumpster. A lady named Luda Mae Hewitt found him and took him home to raise him. The Hewitt's worked at and owned the Blair Meat Co., but after losing their jobs they switched to kidnapping people, murdering them (often by chainsaw or meat hook) and butchering their flesh, as family member Charlie Hewitt claims that he got the idea from eating human flesh in the Korean War after he became a prisoner of war.
