Eddie Low has many average traits of a serial killer.

He is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_killer#Disorganized.2Fasocial_offenders disorganized-asocial] killer, characterized by low intelligence, acts on impulse and leaves bodies out in the open.

Description==


Eddie Low and his story are partially based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Berkowitz David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz], New York City's most infamous serial killer during 1976-77, including Eddie's online manifestos based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Berkowitz#Son_of_Sam_letter Son of Sam letter], and the investigators' plans to turn their search for him into a book or movie (the movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_the_Darkness_(1985_television_movie) Out of the Darkness]). Son of Sam insists that his neighbor's dog telepathically communicated to him that he should kill, while Eddie has a neglected cat at his home that he is constantly annoyed by, though he shows self-control for once and says he would "never hurt Boo Boo Wilkins". Son of Sam targeted couples that showed public displays of affection, and while Eddie targets lone joggers much more often, this peaks his interests as shown on his comments on the "What they do not want you to know" website.


====Childhood====


From his early childhood, Eddie was always different. Eddie writes online that his father would force him to wear girl's clothes and grow his hair out (even sending him to school dressed that way), as well as forcing Eddie to perform sexual acts on him. Eddie later killed him out of spite. He loved his mother very much, perhaps even in a romantic or sexual way (paired with hatred of his father, it's an extreme [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedipus_complex Oedipus complex]), but accidentally killed her by putting her head under the sand. Much different from his father, this was an honest mistake on Eddie's part and he says that he wishes he "could have married my mommy". He once had a little brother, but killed him and hid his body in a pond.

He would touch his friends in places and ways that worried his friends' parents as well as his own - other than that, he would not play with other children at all. In his later childhood, he would torture and kill some of his classmates. Their pleas for Eddie to cease continue to echo in his head, tormenting him because he continued his sexual escapades as he matured into adulthood, which further developed into homicidal behavior.


He also talks about going to many mental institutions throughout his childhood. Coinciding with this, he was arrested at the ages of nine (for torturing an animal), fourteen (for indecent exposure) and nineteen ("public lewdness").

Childhood====


[[Niko Bellic]] meets him across the street from the [[Auto Eroticar]] dealership in northern [[Alderney City]]. He's only there late at night, from 10 P.M. to 4 A.M. Eddie first asks for a ride to the docks so he can 'drop off his friend' (presumed to be the head(s) of one or more of his victims, concealed in a gym bag). His next port of call is [[Westminster]], [[Algonquin]], as he has heard enough screams of the people of Alderney, and wants to the screams of Algonquin people.


He appears for a second time in an alleyway in West [[Berchem]] and attempts to make small talk. Niko is taken aback by Low's strange and disturbing comments, including asking Niko if he enjoys being spanked. He tells Eddie to 'fuck off,' and that his behavior is not cool. An enraged Eddie launches into a tirade about how exactly he killed some of his victims. For example, he says that he once kidnapped a mother's quarterback and then conducted anal rape and "strangled him into knots". This prompts Niko to respond with, "You need to get laid or something!" Eddie says that he already did; "A little jogger down by the water!" Low then takes out a [[knife]] and starts to attack Niko, quickly resulting in his own death.

Eddie Low is a strange and highly unstable serial killer in Liberty City, and a random character in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Serial killer profile====


Eddie Low has many average traits of a serial killer. Family background usually consists of an unstable family, abandoned by their father and raised by a domineering mother, and abused by a family member - Eddie's childhood manages to incorporate all these elements. He also holds true to the Macdonald triad of firesetting, animal cruelty and bedwetting past twelve. He is a disorganized-asocial killer, characterized by low intelligence, acts on impulse and leaves bodies out in the open. His motives (sorted into four categories for all serial killers) are hedonistic for the most part, with elements of visionary (he lists his gender as "god" on MyRoom) and power-control.


Eddie Low and his story are partially based on David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz, New York City's most infamous serial killer during 1976-77, including Eddie's online manifestos based on the Son of Sam letter, and the investigators' plans to turn their search for him into a book or movie (the movie Out of the Darkness). Son of Sam insists that his neighbor's dog telepathically communicated to him that he should kill, while Eddie has a neglected cat at his home that he is constantly annoyed by, though he shows self-control for once and says he would "never hurt Boo Boo Wilkins". Son of Sam targeted couples that showed public displays of affection, and while Eddie targets lone joggers much more often, this peaks his interests as shown on his comments on the "What they do not want you to know" website.

Much different from his father, this was an honest mistake on Eddie's part and he says that he wishes he "could have married my mommy".

Early 2008====


Eddie is now a socially awkward, bisexual necrophiliac. He says he likes Westminster due to the abundance of boys, and he refers to this as is "hunting ground".

He is notorious for killing his victims late at night, such as joggers. During a conversation he states that he loved a woman but later found out she was a "whore".

Killed by Niko Bellic====




Niko Bellic meets him across the street from the Auto Eroticar dealership in northern Alderney City. He's only there late at night, from 10 P.M. to 4 A.M. Eddie first asks for a ride to the docks so he can 'drop off his friend' (presumed to be the head(s) of one or more of his victims, concealed in a gym bag). His next port of call is Westminster, Algonquin, as he has heard enough screams of the people of Alderney, and wants to the screams of Algonquin people.
