    Huntress easily.

    It's vague enough to leave events and details up for debate (unlike newer Killers), but not so vague you have almost no information about her (like older Killers).

    She's also easily the most badass of the Killers through her lore; basically raising herself in an extremely inhospitable environment before going on to singlehandedly massacre entire towns and platoons of heavily armed soldiers.

    Legion :)

    But mostly because I can relate to their story. Not that I have killd someone, but the partys, the relationships... The stuff around them is something most people can understand or have experienced by themself I guess.

    Legion. Out of all the killers, their backstory is the most relatable, and the most grounded in reality. They're not insane like most of the other killers; they're just outcasts who were neglected by their peers, neighbors and families, and rebelled against the authority figures in response, until they finally crossed the line into murder.

    Huntress

    I like Legion's and Huntress' best. Legion because of how the map actually has a really personal connection to them. That and their designs all look cool to me.

    Anna's I find very interesting due to her background, development as a character, and the fact she took on a platoon of german troops and survived.

    Clown

    I like most of them. But the detail provided by Clown is what sells him to me.

    Though I do enjoy both the Plague and Oni's lore as well.

    Huntress

    The reason why Huntresses' really appeals to me is how somber and dark it is.

    She was only a child when her only guardian passed away in her arms. She then had to teach herself how to survive but she was never exposed to proper education.

    She grew up and started killing humans that wandered near her home, mostly soldiers from the war but then she wandered into villages, killing families and taking the little girls. She would always pin the girls by their neck so they wouldn't stray off and get lost, but by doing this she never knew that they needed food and drink and so they would always die which would make her break more and more.

    It's just depressing and that's sorta why I like it. Much more sad and depressing than the others

    Ghostface.

    The guy obsessed with killings. Putting details together for weeks he did his job efficiently and cruel. Not to mention he outsmarted everyone and wrote about himself in the newspapers.

    That's... Thrilling.

    My favourite is definitely Trapper now. That guy had a ######### life and was abused by his father. Now he's a murdering instrument for the entity.

    Doctor

    I believe that doctor's is the best and describe his character the best

    Trapper (including archives)

    Gotta be honest, while Huntress is my favorite and she did have a great backstory, I have to choose the Trapper. Evan McMillan was forced to abuse people and was practically abused himself with his father essentially using him. This unfortunate abuse both from and towards him led to the darkness consuming him. It didn't really help how he was forced to hunt animals like bears and wolves with traps (hence how he got his name).

    Huntress

    Huntress has the most original story IMO. It's pretty simple too. Mother and daughter live in the woods. Mother dies. Daughter grows up to be feral serial killer. It's more believable than any other story.

    Oni has pretty intriguing lore.
