Travis Hackett

Travis Hackett is a 46-year-old man who is the small-town sheriff of North Kill, being elected after Sheriff Hank died in the fire of Harum Scarum. He wears a black police uniform with a tie and sheriff insignia - attached to this is a radio system. He has a cold and collected personality, always trying to just be done with what he's doing in the most unsettling way possible, even though he does it unintentionally. Travis is also intimidating, stern, cautions, and reserved. He doesn't open up so easily and prefers to keep his problems to himself. He does have a soft side of him that he keeps hidden due to not trusting others, besides his family. He is skilled in gunmanship, intimidation, and interrogation. As a member of the Hackett Family, Travis strives to end the werewolf curse so his family can become normal again, however, some may consider his aggressive methods a bit unethical at points. He's also a werewolf hunter and is hunting Silas Vorez, the white werewolf that has cursed his family. The werewolf infected Travis's brother, niece, and nephew

Travis' niece is named Kaylee Hackett and his nefew is Caleb Hackett. Travis' brother is Chris Hackett, his brother is the owner of the Hacketts Quarry Summer camp that is located near town.

Once there was a traveling sideshow, known as "Harum Scarum", that was set on fire by accident. Caleb and Kaylee Hackett, set fire to a few hay bales as a distraction, with the intent of freeing Silas Vorez, as the two felt bad for Silas, thinking that he was imprisoned against his will and forced to perform for the sideshow. However, the fire spread far past the hay bales and set all the traveling wagons ablaze. With many flammable and explosive materials being near or inside the wagons, this caused a tremendous amount of explosions and additional destruction. Silas, in his werewolf form, bit Caleb, then escaped into the woods. Eliza Vorez, Silas' mother, discovered the sideshow on fire, and was horrified that Silas likely died there. Some time later, Caleb bit his father, Chris Hackett and his sister Kaylee, spreading the curse. The Hacketts hunted Silas for years, hoping to kill him and finally end the curse, but to no avail. Killing Silas will finally lift the curse and revert everyone back to normal. If Silas survives, the curse continues. Salis was always a werewolf and only the Hackett family has been cursed.

This is the poem that Travis has with him that gives him a clue how to lift the curse and about the werewolf: "When full the moon above shines first, the beast internal shall outward burst, one by one, leads lambs to slaughter. It stalks your breath but shuns clear water. And should you yourself be cursed, armed with silver, end the first, when moon is full before its wane, rend the beast that cursed you slain, no longer shall you face your blight or fear the dread of the full moon’s light. And if it’s a bite with which you’re faced, cleave limb from torso with great haste, perchance you’ll save your cursed soul, before infection takes its toll."

Keeping with the common folklore of werewolves, they transform once a month during a full moon, are weak to silver, and are able to transmit the curse to others through bites.
