</infobox> The Pizza Man is a nameless Revenant that dwells in Jacob's Bell and accompanies the Faceless Woman.

Description

He normally appears boring and unassuming, but under the influence of Molly's Bell his eyes glittered dark and his smile was like he was in on some grand joke, wry, as if he was about to burst into excited laughter at any moment.

He later has severe burns over his face from the siege of Hillglades House.

Personality

A wise revenant who is affable to most non-humans, he appears boring and uninteresting most times and acts as a friend to the Faceless Woman, although he will back away when she's angered. He's wise to the circumstances of being a new Other and understand the way things work.

While not a fan of murder, he understand that it is a method of prolonging his own existence and will do so. He doesn't like to interfere with other's personal missions because he was denied his own and it left a void.

Abilities

• Self-Regeneration: Pizza Man can regenerate from his wounds rather quickly depending on how deep they are and how much fear he has to draw on.<ref>The Revenant ('the pizza man') is a force of revenge. He doesn't need to sleep and doesn't need to eat. He gets nourishment from revenant touchstones - tokens, charms, or rituals of his former life. So his 'three meals a day' would be something akin to visiting a child's grave, checking on the granddaughter of his onetime family member, and taking steps to ensure that his onetime focus of revenge is forever erased from history (gravestone defaced, library records tracked down and scrubbed, house burned down and the remains sorted through for every last trace). The same kinds of things used as touchstones are the things that are used in the summoning of a given revenant. Words, phrases, ideas, or items relevant to what the revenant would 'eat' if they were active and free, etc. Eventually the connections will be too tenuous, he'll start to go. There's a chance something would turn up (a long lost relation of his former revenge target) and he'd go after that with all the fury and power he had earlier on when he was new to the world, and there's also the possibility of reigniting the flame with murder (again, there might be an objective here: people similar by some demographic or distantly tied to the original revenge target, etc), potentially setting up new revenge targets if conditions can be met, perpetuating himself (the violence he commits stirs more violence and his target does something sufficient to create another revenant, but instead that energy renews/spurs this revenant on). There's actually a few other paths, while I'm talking the revenant life cycle, including passing on the mantle and the power.
  
  If he's not able to do any of the above (and it's semi-unlikely), he'd gradually lose strength and power over time. He'll be liable to flame out in a final burst of violence, spending all of his personal power at once (at which point he might be well stronger than usual, but reckless and short lived), but local practitioners know to keep an eye out for this. - What others do all day</ref>
  • Undying consequently he is difficult to kill given his nature. What will kill an ordinary human will only slow him down

Weaknesses

• Fire: Fire has a strong effect on him. Though he is still able to function after being burned.

Chronology

Before

At some point he was killed and kicked and screamed enough that death didn't take him, but by the time he came back to kill the man who murdered him the guy was already dead. After crossing paths with the Faceless Woman he wound up looking for answers, because she really wasn’t doing well, found out some things about her, and gained knowledge.

In-story, he first appeared while trying to lure Blake Thorburn out of the Hillglades House by pretending to be a pizza delivery man, who came under assault by the Faceless Woman.<ref>Bonds 1.6</ref> When he appears later he stops her from attempting to assault another Other because it would make things complicated and tells her and Blake to be patient.<ref>Mala Fide 10.2</ref>

He converses with Blake, telling him about how his bogeyman nature works and about the situation in exchange for information, stating that he didn't want to interfere with whatever he had planned for the residents of the Hillglades House because he didn't want to deny him the pleasure as his own kill had been, before calling for Mags and leaving.

In the Duress Arc he goes back on this because the negativity from the phantom bell and can't stop himself from interfering as there are too few acceptable targets and gets into a fight with Eva, who tries to behead him and fails. He manages to fight her to a standstill, healing from the damage and preventing her from beheading him until Alexis used a rune and Eva kicked him into the television, sparking a fire.

He fled from the fight afterwards and later joined Blake's group of Others, willing to let bygones be bygones because they've noticed something strange going on.
