*** [[MonsterMisogyny Manny Sherman]] was a small-time SerialKiller who left behind a sinister legacy. Known as the "Beast of Arkansas" who sought to leave his mark on the world after being inspired by H.H. Holmes, Sherman would lure female realtors to abandoned houses near airports so that he could murder them as planes flew over them, happily knowing that nobody would hear their screams no matter how hard they yelled. With thirteen murders under his belt, after being arrested and put on DeathRow by FBI Agent Hector Munday, Sherman [[ManipulativeBastard manipulated]] the mentally deteriorating Munday into [[TheCorrupter becoming a serial killer]] like himself, allowing him to become the dreaded Granthem Du'Met and kill hundreds of people, just as Sherman hoped would happen.
