Could Frank Stone really be Dead by Daylight’s Trapper?<\/strong> Following the announcement of Supermassive Games’ and Behaviour Interactive’s new game set in the DBD universe, The Casting of Frank Stone<\/a>, some speculate that this new character might actually be a killer we know very well, The Trapper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So why do people think The Trapper is Frank Stone?<\/p>\n

The Trapper is one of Dead by Daylight’s most iconic original killers, and was the game’s first; he’s the face (or should we say the “mask”?) of Dead by Daylight, on the game’s cover and in nearly all of its promotional materials. While visually iconic, he also plays a major role in the game’s lore. With the real name Evan MacMillan, The Trapper is part of the deadly MacMillan family, a wealthy family who has killed for their riches. After finding this out, Evan snapped.<\/p>\n

Some speculate that Frank Stone is actually The Trapper. (Picture: Behaviour Interactive)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Evan MacMillan and Frank Stone bear some physical similarities<\/strong>, with Frank Stone’s (assuming that’s him on the game’s cover) mask having sharp openings around the mouth, reminiscent of Trapper’s mask.<\/p>\n

Also, both have families with a history of terror and murder<\/strong>. In The Casting of Frank Stone’s game description, Stone is described as “loom[ing] over Cedar Hills, a town forever altered by his violent past.” This brings to mind The Trapper’s violent past, though it was hardly MacMillan’s choice.<\/p>\n

But why do the two have different names? The Trapper’s official name is Evan MacMillan, as we’ve mentioned – with no mention of the Stones, much less any Frank Stone, in his existing lore. Perhaps Frank Stone could be his alias, or just someone related to him.<\/p>\n

For now, there’s no word on whether Frank Stone is actually The Trapper, but either Dead by Daylight or The Casting of Frank Stone could provide a little more insight to this possibility in their lore. If Frank Stone isn’t actually Evan MacMillan, and instead a different individual altogether, it’s possible that Stone could be added to Dead by Daylight as a killer<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
