Haacker was a soldier of the German Army during WWI.[1]

History[]

In 1915, Haacker was part of the German battalion led by Eric Murnau. He participated in the Second Battle of Ypres and moved in to kill the Allied soldiers affected by chlorine gas. When Henrik Veidt gave chase to John Locke who escaped back to Keyhouse Manor with the Anywhere Key, Haacker followed his squad into the cottage, bewildered by their new surroundings.[1]

Haacker was granted permission by Murnau to hunt John down and followed the trail of blood to the parlor, where he found John being helped into the Mending Cabinet by Mary. John goaded Haacker toward him, and Haacker stuck his bayonet's knife slowly into John as a taunt. However, Mary, who activated the Dollhouse placed nearby with the Small World Key while he was distracted, stuck a pencil into the parlor where Haacker was, and Haacker was brutally impaled by a giant-sized version of the pencil, killing him.[2]

After his death, Haacker's soul was condemned to Hell, where he had to write out every crime he committed on an endless list, using a pencil that was still embedded in his abdomen, deaf as a result of the war's bombardments. In 1927, more than twelve years into his sentence, Haacker spotted the grown-up Mary with Fiddler's Green and Etrigan the Demon. Although Mary expresses remorse for Haacker's state, Haacker started cursing at Mary for making him this way and promising she will regret it as Mary's party continued on their way. Haacker later takes part of Hell's army against Mary for John's soul. When Mary plays the Music Box, Haacker, the only damned soul who is unaffected, charges on horseback, only for Fiddler's Green to intercede and slice Haacker and horse permanently in two with the Locke sword.[3]

Trivia[]

  • Judging from his misaligned left eye, Haacker possessed amblyopia, or lazy eye.
