Todd Burton

"I saved him. I saved him..."

Todd Burton is the delusional accomplice and older brother of serial killer Cormac Burton. He appeared in Keeper.

Background
Todd and his younger brother Cormac were abused by their father Curtis. Their mother Amy was also a target of abuse, and she eventually drank herself to death as a result. Curtis would often force the brothers to wear dog muzzles and take them to a slaughterhouse belonging to his cousin. There, Curtis would force them to watch him as he slaughtered pigs, all the while claiming they would be next. One day, Cormac found a dog and tried to keep it, but Curtis found out and forced Todd to help him abandon it. Realizing how traumatized Cormac was from that incident, Todd became guilty ever since. As an adult, Todd became homeless and slowly began to lose his mind, but continued faithfully following Cormac around. He followed Cormac back to their hometown when the latter learned that Curtis died of a heart attack, and subsequently became a serial killer. Still wracked with guilt over helping Curtis abandon the dog, Todd began helping Cormac in covering his tracks by dismembering his victims' bodies and scattering of the body parts around the trail. Over time, he developed a delusion in which he believed Cormac to be his dog.

Modus Operandi
Todd spent most of Cormac's murders by crudely dismembering the victims' bodies with a hatchet, carrying the body parts around in bags, and scattering them across the trail, believing them to be food that would lure out his "dog". When he attempted to kill Lewis, he tried to strangle her with his bare hands.
