He is seemingly mission-oriented, with the goal of ridding the world of prostitutes, punishing them for their perceived immorality by engaging in fornication and using drugs, attributing the rise of moral corruption, sinful behaviour and homosexuality to their presence, making himself out to be a modern day crusader delivering redemption upon NYC, when he's little more than a chauvinistic moral entrepeneur with an unspoken messiah complex. If true, his motives can be gleaned from his rantings while on air. An unattended radio broadcasting station found within the confines of his territory further cement this theory. It's heavily implied the DJ is the Night Ripper's public alter-ego.

Throughout the game, there's a DJ heard over the radio trying to justify The Night Ripper's actions, describing him as a righteous vigilante and fulfiller of conservative justice. What follows is left purposely unclear, but in the after-credits scene, a window is heard shattering, implying the Night Ripper has forcibly entered the flat, still determined to finish Rachel off. The Ripper murders a hooker he incidentally finds during his search, savagely beating and maiming her with a glass bottle, but loses track of Rachel after she successfully flees into her apartment.

On the 5th of August, 1981, in the midst of the Night Ripper's killing binge, he catches sight of Rachel, an after-hours commuter, and assumes her to be a prostitute on her late-night walk home, and thus relentlessly hunts her in his infamous black sedan, sometimes tailing her on foot, patrolling crack dens and seedy neighbourhoods for Rachel and other potential victims. Some went as far as moving out of the city in wake of the crimes, but a number of natives to the area remain out of pride and refusal to give in to the newly created climate of fear. His gruesome deeds have garnered a significant amount of attention since his discovery some five weeks back, although recent findings suggest that the span of murders may have already began in August last year and his hunting grounds could reach as far north as Greene County, having becoming a high-profile case, leading to an, as of yet, unsuccessful manhunt by the city's entire police force, all the while leaving notes and photos as clues and catty derision for the NYPD to find. He is known to imitate a duck's quacking during the attacks, in reference to his mask. His modus operandi consists of tracking down viable targets, which have been exclusively female, primarily sex workers, in a black sedan in the dead of night, viciously assaulting them once close, usually killing via stabbing using either a knife or other sharp weapon, then peforming in violent necrophilic intercourse with the corpses before dumping their bodies in secluded, but public locations like dumpsters or back alleys.
#NIGHT CALL WIKI SERIAL#
He's a misogynistic Jack the Ripper-esque serial killer who preys on the population of New York City's slums in 1981. A particular mangled corpse found in the later stages of the game indicate that failing to immediately take Rachel out has hurt his pride and thus made her death a matter of personal principle for him, even devolving by skipping over his usual methods and rites to let out his frustrations through a marked increase in brutality. He still seems to hold a considerable sense of self-preservation, unseen with the majority of other killers, as a single gunshot aimed in his direction will send him running, but will remain persistent in his pursuit of her all the same, showing that, while he can be dissuaded momentarily, he is obstinate about his objective.

Coupled with his targeting of Rachel, despite there being no indication of her being a call girl, imply a sexist stance on women. Unlike most killers, who have no preference in victim and murder indiscriminately, the Night Ripper fixates on prostitutes. He wields a flashlight in one hand and a switchblade in his other to slash his victims. The Night Ripper is a slim, reasonably tall man, who wears an all black outfit consisting of a buttoned-up long coat, shoes, gloves and a Homburg hat, as well as a yellow duck mask. 3.4 "ANOTHER WEEK HAS PASSED, YET THE NIGHT RIPPER HASN'T BEEN CAUGHT".3.3 "SERIAL KILLER SUSPECTED IN BRUTAL SLAYINGS OF MULTIPLE SEX WORKERS".3.2 "GRIM ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES AS THE "NIGHT RIPPER" CONTINUES HIS ONSLAUGHT".3.1 "PANDEMONIUM SPREADS AS THE BODIES OF SEVERAL PROSTITUTES ARE FOUND".
