If enough of a human remained of William Black, some may even pity him. A mix of his own beastly appetite, behavior and appearance only allow people to see a monster. The "Hookman" is even somewhat of an urban legend to some who've seen him skulking around Mud Trench. When he can, he'll follow Rex and Mort, although it's a hard call whether he's hunting them or jus following the only company he knos. And, just like Mort and Rex, the hookman spends most days endlessly searching for Wayne.
