Theory: The Trapper and The Huntress are Siblings

edited October 2018 in Lore

The Trapper’s mother is never mentioned in his backstory. The Huntress’ father is never mentioned in her backstory. What if Anna’s mother married Archie MacMillan and had two children, before having to go back to Russia some reason, mostly likely because of WW1. The ring that Anna wears is most likely her mother’s wedding ring. If her mother kept her wedding ring, then that means her mother didn’t get divorced. When Anna and her mother didn’t return to America, Archie didn’t tell Evan about his sister, to spare him from grief. Anna and Evan don’t remember each other because they were probably very young before being separated. This also explains why Anna’s last name is never mentioned, to hide the fact that she is a MacMillan. They are both ambidextrous and also have a similar interest in hunting. They also have a similar height. Benedict Baker’s journal also says that he was researching the town of Weeks in 1956, after it was abandoned. Which means that Evan grew up, killed all his employees, and was taken by The Entity before 1956. Which means that Evan could have been a child during WW1. Additionally, perhaps Anna was attacking WW2 soldiers in her forest, which means that she grew up, after her mother had to leave because of WW1, and both her and Evan were alive during WW2.

    Interesting theory. Evan's mother could have left the both of them because Archie was raising Evan to be just like him, and maybe she thought he couldn't come back from that. That would put Evan at about 8-12 when his mother left (conservative guess). That's an age where he would remember having a sister, unless his mother left while pregnant.

    Lisa's parents aren't mentioned either, maybe they're all siblings. Or maybe you're grasping at straws.

    Lisa’s last name is mentioned though. She also isn’t similar to any other killer. Evan and Anna have many similarities, and there must be a reason why Anna’s last name is never mentioned.

    It would also explain why that bug that happend last year that spawned usable Trapper bear traps only ever happened with the Huntress...IN FACT IT PROVES IT! BHVR you sneaky son-of-a-guns!

    This theory sounds really forced and unbelievable. Remember, Huntress and her mother are russians, they not just moved to Russia. And Evan is not Russian name, unlike Anna. Why would mother gave her children names with different origin?

    Nope. The Russian empire had fallen in 1917, and WWI ended in 1918. WWII didn't begin until 1939.

    Here is an actual quote from Anna's backstory. "War eventually came to the forest. German soldiers began to pass through, on the march to attack the collapsing Russian Empire."

    Note that it says Russian Empire, not the Soviet Union, which formed in 1922. Plus, they also confirmed that Anna is from WWI in their latest panel thing.

    This also means that her mother was likely DEAD before WWI.

    Sorry if this seems rude, but this seriously annoyed the hell out of me.

    As for Evan and Anna being siblings... As Rattman said, really forced.

    During their stream, the devs confirmed Anna is from WWI, and thus the oldest of the (playable) Killers.

    Of what use is a last name if you and your family have been living somewhere in the midst of a Russian forest for probably generations, shielded from the outside?

    This is the biggest reach....One is in America and the other is from Russia....how do these two connect?

    Would definitely be interesting, but one is from America and the other from Russia, how would it work?

    Traveling overseas? Anna’s mother must’ve needed to go back home when the war started.

    Now show where WWI happened, because that's where Anna lived, and try to explain why Macmillan Sr. was still alive post-WWII.

    Perhaps Archie wasn’t alive post-WWII and Anna’s mother needed to move back because of WWI. Then Evan’s story happened, with Archie dying, and Anna grew up and killed WWII soldiers.

    The names of the Trapper's maps imply that his father was in the steel and coal industry. IIRC, these flourished during and after WWII. Note, however, that Anna is from WWI, according to the devs.

    While this is an interesting read it’s 100% unlikely as others have said there’s massive time gap and your grasping at straws with some of your points. The huntress is the oldest killer her mother died while she was a kid before WW1 and during WW1 she was an adult who murdered any who enter her forset and was taking by the entity some time during WW1 or a little bit after since the story’s about her ended with WW1.
