Dan Barrows

Background

Dan Barrows is the tertiary antagonist and Bobby Barrows' twin brother and the son of Mary Barrows in Clock Tower: The First Fear, and presumably Simon Barrows (unless the theory that Mary was impregnated by a demon is true).

He uses supernatural powers like telekinesis to haunt the Barrows Mansion. He resides in a giant bed in the caverns underneath the mansion. His bed is referred to by Simon Barrows and Walter Simpson as the "Cradle under the Star".

He reappears in Clock Tower as the main antagonist becoming the new Scissorman under the pseudonym "Edward".

Powers and Techniques

Aquatic Breathing (Like his brother he should be able to stay completely submerged underwater long enough to the point where Ann eventually drowned yet Bobby was completely fine), Self-Sustenance (Respiratory Self-Sustenance, Nutritional Self-Sustenance, & Restful Self-Sustenance; Dan has no need for any form of sustenance as he is an immortal being whose body is outside the flow of time thereby making him unaffected by anything within time’s flow, even with his ill-deformed body he is capable of staying alive due to time having no adherence to him, this is shown with the fact that the only way to defeat him is turning the clock tower back on, thus any means of hunger, breathing, sleep etcetera will not affect him), Immortality (Ageless, Life & Death Immunity, & Reliance [On Object]; Dan is an immortal being whose body is outside the flow of time thereby making him unaffected by anything within time’s flow, even with his ill-deformed body he is capable of staying alive due to time having no adherence to him, this is shown with the fact that the only way to defeat him is turning the clock tower back on), Reality Separation (Chronolock; Dan is an immortal being whose body is outside the flow of time thereby making him unaffected by anything within time’s flow, even with his ill-deformed body he is capable of staying alive due to time having no adherence to him, this is shown with the fact that the only way to defeat him is turning the clock tower back on), Invulnerability (Metaphysical Invulnerability; Dan is completely immune to attacks as his body is outside the flow of time thereby making him unaffected by anything within time’s flow, with his ill-deformed body not meaning anything as he is capable of staying alive due to time having no adherence to him, where the only way to defeat him is to turn on the clock in the clock tower).

Resistance to Time Manipulation (Dan is an immortal being whose body is outside the flow of time thereby making him unaffected by anything within time’s flow, even with his ill-deformed body he is capable of staying alive due to time having no adherence to him)

Loses his Immortality and the abilities he gained through being in a state of stopped time due to the Clock Tower starting again, Stealth Mastery (Like his brother, he can sneak around and hide undetected from Jennifer and Helen), Weapon Usage (Can use gigantic scissors like his brother), Extrasensory Perception (Could see Kay Satterwhite’s pedophillic tendencies that were suppressed towards him through his demonic powers), Hell Manipulation (Has demonic powers), Mind Manipulation (Using his “beautiful face” and demonic sense he drew out and fostered Kay Satterwhite’s pedophillic desires towards him, making her mentally and physically inseparable from him Barton stated he was drawn in by Edward’s evil soul), Possession (In the novelization, Kay tries to warn Helen Maxwell that Scissorman is coming after Jennifer. Immediately after this, it is implied Edward telepathically possesses Kay, causing Kay to bleed from her mouth), Necromancy (In the novelization, Kay is decapitated by Scissorman. Later, Helen finds a zombified Kay in the church when Jennifer is about to be crucified. Kay is sewing her stomach area with her intestines hanging out with needle and thread. Kay says, "It's so fun! To be dead and yet alive. Edward's killed me so many times. But I suppose you can't understand how good dying feels until you've experienced it yourself.”), Teleportation (Has displayed teleportation capabilities throughout the course of the game, noted by the creator that the “warp” ability for Scissorman became possible by the ability of Dan)

Equipment

Nothing notable in Clock Tower: The First Fear, Scissors in Clock Tower

Other

Standard Tactics: Dan’s shell will attempt to chase after the opponent and kill them, meanwhile Dan will attempt to use his shell to create the perfect human body. | Edward is a master manipulator using his demonic powers to either possess to mind control someone through their desires. He will also dress as the scissorman and attempt to stab them with giant scissors.

Weaknesses: If the Clock Tower is started again Dan would instantly die due to the state of his body which was noted by Walter to be so deformed he should be dead. Though he counteracted this by making a new body within his shell that wasn’t deformed.

Note: Despite it being implied Dan’s time flow is only within the mansion, this is shown incorrect as one of the ending’s of the game has Jennifer driving far away from the mansion and Bobby (who has the same stopped time flow) teleports into the car with her, if he was no longer under time’s flow he would be dead instantly due to his deformed body.

Note 2: Dan did not die in Clock Tower, his shell was what was destroyed, he was able to make a body to suit him and come out as an amnesiac survivor after the Clock Tower’s time started again, though it’s heavily unlikely that his immortality still remains thus it is removed for the Edward section of his profile.
