Biography[]
Backstory[]
Nelson Christopher was an inmate at Smith's Grove Sanitarium that Ranbir Sartain used in his experiments with Michael Myers in order to get a reaction. Following numerous tortures at the hands of Sartain, Nelson began seeing Michael as a god and pledged devotion to him. Following a class action lawsuit against the institution, several inmates were released, which included Nelson. With nothing else for him in the outside world, Nelson became a drifter, collecting cans until one day he found himself again worshipping Michael, who was hiding out in the sewers following his killing spree on Halloween Night in 2018. Nelson pledged to serve his "god" once again, bringing him victims and food.
Death[]
In October 2022, Nelson was first seen searching for junk under a bridge that Allyson Nelson was driving over. He was next seen searching the dumpsters at the local mini mart. Later, he was back at his camp under the bridge when Corey Cunningham was thrown over the bridge by Terry Tramer. He looked around and saw Corey being dragged into a sewer tunnel by Michael, but did nothing to help.
In the morning, after Corey emerged from the tunnel, Nelson confronted him and said that every now and then Michael took people into the tunnel, but they never came back out. He took out a knife Corey had dropped earlier and tried to force him him to go back inside the tunnel and get Michael's mask, proclaiming himself to be the true Michael Myers. As he pointed the knife towards him, Corey grabbed it and thrust it into Nelson's abdomen several times, killing him.
