Daniel Lamb

Six years prior to the events in the game Daniel worked as a top-tier scientist on a top secret drugs based weapons program for 'The Project'. After the government revoked the funding of the Project and as a means to further his work Daniel volunteered himself as a test subject, as a result of this Daniel now suffers from blackouts with no memory of who he is or his past. While working for ‘The Project’ Daniel created a drug by the name of ‘Cortexa’ which temporarily restrains the work of ‘The Project’ and allows the subject to regain consciousness and gives them a few moments of coherent thought, because of this Daniel has recurring memories of his family and his past.

Much like Daniel, Leo is also an inmate at the 'Dixmor Hospital for the Criminally Insane'. Leo aids Daniel in his escape from the asylum, Leo is a trained assassin as such Leo is far more aggressive than Daniel and urges Daniel along the way to recovering his memories. Leo is considered a threat to 'The Project' due to his anomalistic ways of dealing with things; he is also responsible for strangling Dr. Deborah to death.

Judy works at the local brothel, 'Bees Honey Pot', the brothel acts as a recruitment front for 'The Project'. As well as working at the brothel Judy also serves as a 'technician' for 'The Project'. Daniel seeks out Judy as he believes that she is able to help him remember his past.

Michael is a former friend and co-worker of Daniel, like Daniel he also worked for the ‘The Project’. Michael aided in the implementation of the Projects experiments and is a high ranking scientist.

Dr. Deborah acted as the project doctor for patients Daniel Lamb and Leo Kasper. Not much is known about Dr. Deborah beyond her working for the project, her predecessor, Dr. Whyte is known to be a clinical psychologist so it can be assumed that Dr. Deborah was also of the same pedigree. Through a patient therapy session between Dr. Whyte and Leo it is revealed that Leo killed Dr. Deborah prior to the events in the game. Leo says that he broke free from the chains that restrained him and strangled her to death just as she was about to ask him about his actions, primarily concerning the death of an un-named character, Dr. Whyte informs Daniel that Deborah has taken a ‘leave of absence.

Dr. Whyte works as an on-site clinical psychologist for 'The Project' within Dixmor Hospital. Under her command the inmates Daniel Lamb and Leo Kasper are to be apprehended immediately as they pose a potential threat to ‘The Project’.

Dr. Pickman is the founding professor of 'The Project' and as such the full title of the project is 'The Pickman Project'. Like Dr. Whyte, Pickman is also a regular within the Dixmor facility. Not much else is known of Pickman beyond the knowledge that he is the highest ranking scientist on the project.

Not much is revealed about Daniels wife. From observing the in-game material it appears as though she is just a regular suburban house wife living at home with their (her and Daniels) two children.

What is known is that she doesn’t approve of Daniel subjecting himself to his own studies and is distraught over the situation.

The asylum nurses and orderlies oversee the inmates of the Dixmor Hospital, of which include Daniel and Leo. Their motives are clearly twisted; they are likely motivated by money. Their way of dealing with difficult patients appears to revolve primarily around abusing, beating and overmedicating the inmates. They can be seen regularly abusing the inmates of the hospital. They don’t appear to exhibit any form of excessive hunt skill retorting to hand to hand combat. They are also the first grouping of foes that you come across.

The Bloodhounds are a group of paid-off bounty hunters that are brought in by the Project to bring Daniel and Leo to adjourn.

They are motivated by money but do seem to enjoy their job perhaps a little more than your average-joe. The hounds are outfitted with air and ground support and are heavily armed, they hunt as a pack and are efficient hunters.

The civilians that you come across range from residents of the nearby neighbourhood, truck drivers, repairmen and store clerks. They have no affiliation with any group or the Project and only get involved in the hunt if they feel threatened or provoked. They pose little threat and can (for the most part) be avoided.

The security guards are a bunch of rent-a-cops brought in by the Project to protect the Project facilities that may be vulnerable to non Project personnel. They are under orders to secure their positions by the Project and are motivated by money.

There are also cops that you come across that appear to be straight laced and have little or no affiliation to the Project and are merely trying to do their job.

The Dixmor inmates are a bunch of over medicated loonies. Serving no use beyond being human guinea pigs, they are detained in the Dixmor asylum after being experimented on by the project. They now serve no purpose beyond being failed experiments left with no objective beyond regular abuse at the hand of the orderlies.

Thanks to the power-outage they now roam the halls of Dixmor asylum creating pandemonium for Daniel and the Project.

The Legion are a mysterious gang, not much is known of them and most of what is known is through observing the words they speak and their physical appearance. The gang appears to be made up of failed experiments of the Project and past inmates of Dixmor insane asylum.

Their motivation likely resides somewhere between salvation and revenge. They appear to represent Daniels own dread and can often by heard saying biblical phrases.

During the initiation of the Project, the Pervs primary role was in recruiting potential test subjects of the promiscuous variety situated around the red light district for the Project. The gang is made up of sexual deviants motivated by sadomasochistic desires, taking pleasure from hunting down their victims and inflicting sadistic violence on them. They don’t have any particular hunting skill but what they lack in hunting skills they more than make up for in sadism, choosing to taunt their victims rather than flat out kill them.

The Pimps run and operate around Bees Honey Pot brothel. Motivated by money and sexual desires rather than the thrill of the hunt, they appear to be little more than hired hands, possibly made up of members of ex street gangs. They don’t appear to have any sort of ranking within the Project and are seemingly unaware of the recent mishaps to have happened to the Project.

The Militia are motivated by money and loyalty to the Project. The members of the Militia are said to be born of the same genesis as James Early Cash from the first Manhunt. They are nothing more than a bunch of career criminals recruited by the Project and for this they owe the Project their live, as for not for them then their very existence would have been halted. As they are proclaimed dead, they have no records or identity and all forms of identifying features have been removed, making them little more than ghosts that live to serve the Project. The Militia act as the Projects own private army, as a faction the Project Militia have the aid of helicopter support, travel in packs and are heavily armed.

Although they do not participate in the hunt themselves the project scientists are just as unethical as the hunters themselves. Instead the scientists express themselves through ruining the lives of others via ‘medical’ experiments and subjecting them to vile medications.

The Red Kings are a street gang that have taken refuge in the streets surrounding the red light district after overturning a rival pack of hunters. They also like to hang out around the Bees Honey Pot brothel and highly territorial. They don’t have any affiliation with the Project; in fact they are in the Projects way.

The involvement of SWAT appears to be purely coincidental; there is no apparent connection between the SWAT team and the project. The SWAT members are heavily armed and wear body armour as well as having an eye in the sky with helicopter aid.

The Watchdogs are under orders from the Project to detain Daniel and Leo. They are presumably hooked on the 'Cortexa' drug that Daniel helped create for 'The Project'.

Their motivation lays squarely in their devotion to the Project; they do not appear to have alternate motives. They like to hunt in formation, often appearing in groups at a time before splitting up to scout the area. They are highly trained, highly educated killers, nothing more nothing less.
