He's huge (bench presses ~500lbs), has a glass eye and did five years in jail for killing someone. By punching them. Once.
From MHI -
"Supposedly he'd killed a couple of people in prison" (...) "The other fighter really was a bad dude. Meanest I had ever dealt with. (...) They managed to stitch his skull back together, but he lost an eye, and I've heard he's still messed up..."
It would certainly be an interesting reunion...
- Monster Hunter Legion confirms this. Their reunion was not pleasant at all.
After all, Myers did say "Turns out your descendants can use the Elixir" (which would kill any ordinary mortal).
Pitt is the only human known to have ever survived being bitten and infected by the undead (and likely a werewolf as well) without becoming one, and according to Mordechai he's immune to vampire bites as well. Since Franks is established in Nemesis to be immune to vampire, werewolf and undead bites, it stands to reason that Pitt may have inherited this from his ancestor Franks. Since Franks has been travelling the world for centuries and Pitt is of mixed race (including German, very close to Franks' original stomping grounds) it's not hard to conceive that Franks could be somewhere in Pitt's family tree. Additionally, the Pitts tend to be physically similar to Franks in that they are unusually tall and strong men and natural monster hunters. Finally, when Pitt overcame the undead infection, it was right after the cultists injected him with an unknown drug or potion which had the effects of purifying him from the infection and temporarily supercharging him, but at the same time causing intense, burning pain. These are the same effects that Franks experiences when taking the Elixir of Life. If this potion was in fact the Elixir, and only Franks' descendants can survive taking the Elixir, than Owen has to be one of those descendants.
He's a bit short for a human, burly, bearded, and a dab hand with either a weapon or a machine shop. We've seen Elves, Orcs, and Gnomes so far, so odd takes on classic fantasy races aren't unknown. Given the redneck Elves and gangsta Gnomes, would Latter Day Saint Dwarves from Idaho really be all that much of a stretch? Of course, it's equally likely that Larry is yanking our chain with red herrings or we're just jumping at shadows.
