Brendon Dumont

“	So sorry to disturb your slumber, detective! But you know, it’d be a waste to sleep… on such a wondrous night! Ah… it really is a great set! Don’t you agree? All it needs is me standing on the stage, and then… perfection! How do you do, detective? I am… Ahem ...Excuse me! How do you do, detective? I am the Boogie Man! The organizer of this marvelous game soon to begin!	„
	~ Brendon Dumont’s introduction to Keith Baring

Background

Brendon Dumont is a supporting character in The Boogie Man. He is the owner of the Livingston Castle. He is also the true identity of the Boogie Man in the game.

Brendon spent his childhood at the castle. His parents were very strict, since they forbid Brendon from having fun and forced him to study and read the Bible all the time. When he was punished for not obeying, his parents locked him inside a closet. During his punishments, Brendon often daydreamed of becoming a monster and killing his family.

After his parents died, he inherited the place and managed it himself. He did not want to live the rest of his life in the deserted castle and decided to promote it as a tourist destination. He also went to film school and did some work in Hollywood.

Brendon greets the other tourists who arrived to the Livingstone Castle. The tourists are Keith Baring, his wife Helena, Sophie Grundler, her father Richard, David Hoover, Shirley Webber and Lance Kanal. He pretends to be very cordial to them and expresses his desire to turn the castle into a vacation hotspot.

During the night, he takes the persona of the Boogie Man. He fakes the death of himself as Brendon to throw off his true identity, as well as killing Stevie Small and the servants of the mansion and proceeds to taunt Keith into playing a game and find the others on time or else they'll die.

In the Happy End “Come Rain, Come Shine”, Keith confronts the Boogie Man and finds out about his true identity. Brendon mocks Keith for spoiling his fun and stabs him, but he is stopped by Richard and David and captured afterwards. It's revealed Brendon had investigated the background of the tourists in order to mock them while torturing them as the Boogie Man. Also; Richard, David and Shirley were able to see past Brendon's jovial persona, and describe him as an emotionless man with a lack of empathy.

Even though Brendon is captured and brought to justice, he refuses to talk about his motives. But according to the testimonies, Dick Anderson comes to the conclusion that Brendon did it all just for fun (justified by how his parents forbid him of having fun when he was young, the child abuse he went through and his dreams of becoming a monster someday).
