| ~ Thatcher Davis talking about the alternate. |
Thatcher Davis is the main protagonist of The Mandela Catalogue, a Lieutenant from the Mandela County Police department who has been around since the start of the alternate invasion.
He is portrayed by Thorne Baker.
Personality[]
He initially appears as a benevolent, brave, and honorable man, determined to protect Mandela County from the Alternates and their invasion. However, after being manipulated by the Unnamed Alternate and witnessing the deaths of Ruth and Dave, he becomes increasingly angry, fearless, and vindictive, yet slightly cowardly and insecure due to his inability to defeat the Unnamed Alternate responsible for Ruth’s death.
Despite these changes, he retains a strong sense of honor and intelligence. His resolve to avenge the deaths of Ruth and Dave against the malevolent mind-breakers remains unwavering, showcasing his commitment to justice and protection for Mandela County.
Biography[]
Intruder Alert[]
Davis issued a directive to withhold any evidence of The Intruder from public release, emphasizing the need to prevent widespread panic.
Exhibition[]
As the on-site officer, Davis was responsible for collecting Mark Heathcliff's personal camcorder. He meticulously presented the footage, showcasing his commitment to thorough investigation despite the grim findings.
My Movie.mp4[]
The Mandela County Police Department was inundated with emails containing a video labeled "My Movie.mp4." Davis, taking the threat seriously, suggested it as genuine evidence. His proposition, however, was met with ridicule from his peers, highlighting the tension within the department.
The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 333[]
During a live broadcast from the Mandela County Police Department, the promotion of Sergeant Ruth Weaver and Lieutenant Thatcher Davis was commemorated. In the midst of this, Thatcher received a call from a school receptionist, concerned about a missing student, Mark Heathcliff. Tasked with checking on Mark, Thatcher proceeded to his home.
Upon arrival, Thatcher repeatedly knocked on Mark's door, receiving no response. Deciding to force entry, he discovered a grim scene inside. The analogue television in Mark's room caught his attention first, followed by the sight of Mark's lifeless body beside multiple .50 caliber casings. Thatcher’s thorough investigation led him to find a cassette player, a Holy Bible, and a notebook on top of the television.
Footage from inside the MCPD captured Ruth advising Thatcher to drop what she considered a fruitless case, urging him to take a break post-promotion. However, Thatcher was resolute, stating he had critical evidence to review.
A video tape from MandelaTECH representative Dave Lee was then shown, where Dave reported being able to recover only two minutes of a film named "The Might of the Subconscious" from the tapes Thatcher had sent him.
In a subsequent emergency call, Jude Murray frantically reported an intruder in his house, despite all doors and windows being securely locked. Thatcher, attempting to calm Jude, inquired if the intruder posed a threat. Jude, in a panic, described the intruder as simply staring from the corner, not taking anything, and expressed fears for his wife's safety. Thatcher instructed Jude to stay on the line, promising to send an officer to assist.
Thatcher then contacted Ruth Weaver, requesting her assistance. Ruth mentioned she had just dealt with a 10-15 (prisoner in custody/message delivered) and was heading to Jude's location, which slightly frustrated Thatcher. After informing Jude that an officer was en route, Ruth called back, requesting backup. Thatcher, puzzled by the lack of available officers, learned that the officer at Jude’s house had fled almost immediately.
Thatcher and Ruth proceeded to conduct an in-home inspection. As they explored the house, the hymn "Ave Maria" eerily filled the air. Thatcher, flashlight in hand, led the way, instructing Ruth to stay behind him. The investigation led them to a static television in a bedroom, where they discovered a hanging body. Ruth questioned if there were any personnel to handle the situation, to which an annoyed Thatcher responded negatively, apologizing before calling in a 10-56 (suicide).
Thatcher's body camera began malfunctioning, and upon attempting to inform Ruth, he discovered her missing. The sound of footsteps approached, and Thatcher called out, receiving his own voice in reply. The intruder mimicked Thatcher’s commands and the earlier conversation with Jude, heightening the tension. As Thatcher demanded identification, the entity began to sing "Amazing Grace" in a deep, breathless voice, its arm reaching ominously around a corner. In a desperate attempt to escape, Thatcher jumped out a closed window and ran, instructing Ruth to meet him at the station if she was still there.
Calling in a 10-78 (requesting backup) to all available units, including those in surrounding counties, Thatcher's situation became increasingly dire. Security footage showed "Amazing Grace" playing in select rooms, getting closer to Thatcher's office.
From Thatcher's chest camera, the supposed alternate, a "Friend" created by Stanley based on infant Adam Murray’s imagination, was seen approaching. The "Friend" Alternate mocked the humans it encountered, including Ruth. As it floated toward Thatcher, he threatened to shoot. A busy signal tone played, displaying the message "uh oh! bad decision, thatcher!" The names of victims, "Cesar Torres", "Ruth Weaver", and "Mark Heathcliff," appeared on the screen. The Friend Alternate, its face distorted, forced a smile and laughed. Thatcher's attempts to shoot it were futile, as the entity taunted, "THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE TWO OF US, LIEUTENANT."
every day gets brighter[]
Thatcher recorded a personal rant, expressing the immense struggle and pain experienced by him and others in Mandela County. He acknowledged that the MCPD would likely be blamed when more people eventually went missing. He revealed that the Friend Alternate featured in "The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 333" had stolen his identity but left him unharmed. Thatcher vowed to kill it, despite his partial regret at surviving the encounter.
The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 4[]
Thatcher Davis made his live-action debut in Vol. 4, portrayed by Thorne Baker. The chapter titled "Remembrance" began with a peculiar version of Thatcher stating, "This is Lieutenant Thatcher Davis. It seems like I made a mistake. Everything's clear here at the station. Calling off all units. Over." The figure then smiled unnervingly and taunted Thatcher with, "Afraid of your own reflection, lieutenant? Dead or alive, you're no use to these people. A man without a purpose in a world that doesn't need him. A scared boy with a gun. Sound familiar?" An image of Mark's house followed.
Later, Thatcher wrote to Ruth Weaver, watching footage from 1992 and expressing regret over her death. This emotional reflection revealed the depth of his turmoil and his longing to make things right.
Dave Lee promised to "put in a good word" for Evelin to join the Mandela County Police Department, though it’s unclear if this ever happened as Dave died shortly after.
Mandela Catalyst[]
Thatcher Davis, driven by the need to uncover the truth behind the increasing anomalies in Mandela County, made his way to Adam Murray’s house. As he approached, he noticed the Bythorne Paranormal Society van parked outside, its presence indicating Adam's involvement in the unfolding mystery. Entering the house, Thatcher was immediately engulfed by an eerie atmosphere. The lights, which had been on when he entered, suddenly flickered and turned off, plunging the house into darkness and heightening his sense of unease.
As he navigated through the dimly lit corridors, the haunting melody of "The Fate of the Jester" played in the background, adding to the tense atmosphere. Thatcher's steps were cautious, every creak of the floorboards echoing ominously in the silent house. The unsettling music seemed to be coming from deep within the house, drawing him further inside.
Thatcher soon encountered Adam, whose presence brought a fleeting sense of relief. However, this relief was quickly replaced by alarm as an inverted image of Adam from Vol. 2 flashed before him, accompanied by the message: "SUSPECT IDENTIFIED." The cryptic nature of this warning, combined with Adam’s sudden and terrified screams, sent a jolt of fear through Thatcher. Overwhelmed by the intensity of the situation, he instinctively dropped his camera and fled the house in a state of panic.
Outside, Thatcher’s mind raced, attempting to process the terrifying encounter. The experience had left him visibly shaken, his thoughts a chaotic mix of fear and determination. Despite the harrowing ordeal, Thatcher's resolve began to solidify. He understood that the events he had witnessed were not isolated incidents but part of a larger, more sinister phenomenon that demanded further investigation.
Determined to uncover the truth and protect Mandela County from the malevolent forces at play, Thatcher vowed to press on with his investigation. He knew that confronting the darkness would require courage and resilience, but he was prepared to face whatever horrors lay ahead. The encounter at Adam’s house had reinforced his commitment to his duty, making it clear that the safety of his community depended on his actions.
As Thatcher prepared to continue his quest for answers, the memory of the eerie music and Adam’s screams lingered in his mind, serving as a constant reminder of the dangers that lay in wait. The journey ahead was fraught with peril, but Thatcher’s unwavering determination to bring light to the darkness would guide him through the challenges to come.
