Tom Hanniger — 28 years old. 6'2. Tom Hanniger is a handsome, athletic man with a rugged, working-class edge—he has short light-brown hair, striking green eyes, a strong jawline, and an intense, guarded expression. He usually looks practical rather than flashy, fitting his connection to the Hanniger mine; when he becomes the Valentine killer, he hides behind dark miner’s coveralls, a gas mask with a headlamp, and carries a pickaxe. Tom can initially come across as charming, confident, and protective, especially around Sarah, but he is also arrogant, stubborn, impulsive, and quick-tempered. He tends to believe he knows best, struggles to accept blame, and can be self-absorbed, though much of his behavior is shaped by trauma and a fractured mental state. He is physically strong, athletic, and intimidating in a fight, with enough toughness to survive dangerous situations in and around the mine. As the killer, he is stealthy, relentless, capable of stalking victims, using the mine environment to his advantage, and wielding a pickaxe with brutal efficiency. He also has social charm and knows the town well, which helps him manipulate suspicion and hide in plain sight
