Thomas Hewitt

In this continuity, Leatherface's mother Sloane dies giving birth to him on August 7, 1939 at the Blair Meat Co., a slaughterhouse where she works, and her uncaring boss leaves the infant to die in a dumpster. Luda Mae Hewitt finds him and takes him home to raise him.

Leatherface suffers from a facial disfigurement and a skin disease that caused severe deformities and tumors to his face. Due to this disfigurement, his muteness and mental retardation (carried over from the first series), other children bullied the boy. He wore a small leather mask to cover up his deformity, and worked at the same meat factory where he was born, for the same boss as his mother, the same man who had left him for dead. He also had a tendency toward self-mutilation, and a doctor diagnosed him as suffering from a type of neurodegeneration at age twelve.

Thomas is seen to have a very bulky and big boned body, he is believed to stand at 6’5. Throughout the prequel, Thomas wears a button up striped green and red shirt along with a gold and black striped tie. He wears what looks to be dirty brown trousers under large bulky black boots. Over everything is a bloodied beige apron, Thomas’s skin is light with a tint of pink with blue eyes and black shoulder length matted hair. In the original 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Thomas wears the face of most likely someone he skinned and cannibalized, the face is white and lumpy and has been stitched together to fit Thomas’s face. The head has messy brown hair growing out of it and looks as though the victim had been slightly scalped or the hair began to fall out due to decay, Thomas seems to be wearing the same outfit as he did in the prequel except his tie is loose and his outfit is very tattered, a new addition is the strong plates that he wears on his arms most likely to protect himself from his chainsaw.
