Thomas 'Leatherface' Hewitt

Thomas Brown Hewitt is a cannibal serial killer and a central character featured in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre film franchise. Thomas is very bulky and has a big, boned body; he stands at 6’5 tall. Thomas wears a button-up striped green and red shirt along with a gold and black striped tie. He wears dirty brown trousers under large, bulky black boots. Over everything is a bloodied beige apron. Thomas’ skin is light with blue eyes and black shoulder-length matted hair. He doesn't talk. Thomas wears a dark brown leather muzzle to hide his facial deformities, having had past experience being bullied for them as a child. Thomas Brown Hewitt was born in July 1939 to a beef inspector named Sloane, who had died during childbirth on the floor of the Lee Bros. Meat Processing Plant. The supervisor of the plant, taking note of Thomas' hideous deformities, threw him into a garbage dumpster, where he was then recovered by Luda May Hewitt. Luda May took him as her own son and brought him home, where he was raised along with Charlie Hewitt. As he grew up, Tommy's mental development was abnormal, and he took to wearing a leather mask to hide his facial deformities. As an adult, Charlie got Thomas a job as a butcher. Thomas generally preferred to stay in his work shop beneath the house, but he could monitor activity taking place in the living areas of the home by way of a spy hole in the center of a sliding metal door. When Thomas makes his masks, he cannibalizes the parts he doesn’t need. Thomas has a bracelet with charms from all the victims he’s killed. Thomas is extremely reserved and keeps to himself all the time, not even talking to any of his own family. He doesn’t talk and is reserved and intimidating to be around. He has a scary, threatening, and intimidating aura about him. Thomas stays in the basement of his family's house, occasionally working in his adoptive mother's gas station/butcher store. Thomas’ adoptive mother, Luda May, is the kindest of all the Hewitts. Thomas feels most comfortable around Luda May, as she treats him kindly and lovingly, never mistreating him and being protective over him. Luda May owns and manages a gas station/butcher shop. Thomas’ uncle, Charlie Hewitt (also known as Sheriff Hoyt), uses Thomas as a weapon to massacre and slaughter victims for food and for his own enjoyment. Charlie poses as a sheriff and uses that to lure in victims to kill, torture, and slaughter those who pass by. Charlie is the more abusive of the family, going on to belittle, push around, and manipulate Thomas. The Hewitt family lives in a dead-end part of Texas.
