Errr'd. I'd have to say Stitch-Face. I still REFUSE to read Alaizabel at night because of the scariness that is Stitch-face ;w;

SPOILERS
Eh, I believe that Pyke deserved it, but I think it opened a new door for Stitch-face. He probably still kills mostly women, but now he's a lot more likely to kill men as well. I mean, who knows, maybe there's something different about killing men than killing women, lol. So I choose to believe Stitch-face no longer worrries about gender too much. ^_^

Still SPOILERS All this given that he doesn't die trying to kill Pyke or that he died soon after killing Pyke. Or maybe he suddenly realized how horrible killing is and stopped being a serial killer. <-- unlikely scenarios. I just had this sudden vision of Stitchy happily walking away, from Pyke's mansion, knowing a job well done, when suddenly he got run over by another carriage. I have these moments, sometimes, sorry. What I think is interesting is that Stitchy considers his murdering women as a piece of art. And is very irritated that someone copies his style. That's artists for you.

LMAO! Maliris, I luve your scenarios. Hmm, Stitch-face needs to realize that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But, you're right, he does have a very temperamental-artist mentality about it. ^_^ He's just such a layered serial killer.

Now I've got an image of Stitch-face as an irate art teacher who disembowels the students I wonder if he does with the "parts" he collects, though. Does he make little collages, or "macaroni art" things? Does he pickle them? Or does he make potpourri out of them? I voted for Blake. I'd take Stitch-face over him any day. I dislike Blake mostly because he's way too much like some of the guys I went to school with (aside from the kidnapping, murder, etc.)

Every artist I know is like that. It goes the exact same for music.

now that I think about it, women have several problems more in this world than men do. *laughs* Actually, you're right . I never even noticed that before. Then again, I guess Chris Wooding made up for that with the badassiness of the women in TBP. What I think is interesting is that Stitchy considers his murdering women as a piece of art. And is very irritated that someone copies his style. That's artists for you. I suddenly have visions of Stitch-Face trying to claim his murders are copyright...

Yeah, I voted Stich-Face 'cause honestly, I'd like to keep my life a little longer, thank-you-very-much. I would have voted for Blake, but he only kills on command, so I think I'm mostly safe there. Anyhow, what with all this Stich-Face contemplations I thought I'd throw something in there. I'm kind of a psychology dork/nut, so his killing women probably comes both from some sort of hatred to women because of his childhood (so he was raised by a crazy mom/female figure) and also is somewhat sexually motivated, so I highly doubt he would go after men. Serial killers almost never change there MO except in rare cases and also sometimes during a psychotic break, making them even crazier then before. I'll stop myself before I keep going and end up boring you all to death. (I just had this thought of a big newspaper headline proclaiming 'Police Baffled by Simultanious Multiple Deaths All Over the World!' and then pictures of everyone here bored to death... there's sleep deprivation for ya)

SPOILERS!!!!!! I've had that theory before as well. But, then, it's hard to form that much of an accurate theory for Stitch-face because there's so much unknown about him. Like many people believed, he may be part-Wych which (haha, wych which ) would make it extremely difficult to develop a theory about his past life. For all we know (assuming he's part-Wych), Stitch-face was a happy child, running along and picking daisies (if they grow in London) and just generally being a happy child. Then, the Vernictung came, and made him psycho. Also, on the Vernictung topic, Pyke says, and I quote, "Because all the hate and guilt and shame has to go somewhere, Thaniel, or it would eat us alive. Keep it in, and we would all be like Stitch-face." So, it may very well be that perhaps Stitch-face's father was the violent/psycho one, and he was afraid of becoming his father. Then, Vernictung comes along, which brings out all the wych-kin, and because that is what Stitchy is afraid of, he becomes that. Granted, the violent/psycho one could be his mother as well, but because we are in the Victorian era, it seems fair more likely that it's the father. And, yes, I am being very sexist there, but I'm basing it on the time period. Those are just other theories, but, of course, all we have is speculation. Maybe setrida is right, because her theory works out fine, but maybe I'm right too. And maybe we're both wrong and Stitch-face will just forever remain an enigma wrapped in a conundrum.

There were just as many violent/psycho women in the Victorian era as there are now, they just weren't suspected as much. You've got to remember that most people didn't live in high society back then any more than they do now, there were plenty of families where women worked, single mothers, abusive mothers and wives etc. The basic nature of humans living crowded together in one place doesn't change very much from era to era.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from, Zemira, but the reason I said mother would be because his whole female victim thing (if he grew up human) would probably stem from a hatred of a strong/ovebearing, quite possibly to the point of abusive, female figure in his life. He is a hedonistic serial killer, but I'm not really sure what demonination, so he also probably was just born with ASPD, which was furthered and developed by an awful childhood, and he became a terrifying serial murderer.
I'm figuring it had to be a mixture of both ASPD and a bad childhood, because not everyone with and abusive childhood grows up to be crazy/violent, and not everyone with ASPD grows up to be a killer either.
[Possible Spoilers] But, honestly, we'll probably never know considering he's a book character and there's no way of actually evaluating his phyche and researching his past and all that jazz. Not to mention that you're right about the possibility of him being part-wych...

I voted for Stitchface, because he is quiet unnerving when reading about him, and plus like it was said above, you would instantly know you were in danger. So bam, you're hit with that brick of panic and terror and most people don't escape.... unless theres a lovely pack of wolves to maul you.
Aside form that, another person I would not like to meet is Rawhead. Don't look back three times? Oh god.... I'd HAVE to if I knew that. It's just one of those instinctive actions.
