Thornheart, also known as the Mystery Man by fans, is a mysterious man and one of the main antagonists of the House of the Dead series. He is a business suit who walks with a noticeable limp.
While appearing to be set up as the next main antagonist of the House of the Dead series, his identity and intentions remain unknown.
Identity[]
Little is known about the Mystery Man's identity and motives. While fan theories have materialized, all are unconfirmed and many were debunked.
The theory that he was Goldman, who perhaps had survived his suicide in The House of the Dead 2, was disproven in 4; Goldman's death is reaffirmed, and the Mystery Man's voice and appearance suggest that he is another character altogether. Takashi Oda also stated that The House of the Dead III was the Mystery Man's first appearance, debunking theories of Harry Harris from 2 and Papa Caesar from The House of the Dead: Overkill being his identity.
