The Quartering Duke

Lexicon Entry
A deranged killer who publicly streamed a live murder on the Internet out of the blue. Self-described as an "entertainer," his modus operandi is two simultaneous victims. In the 6 months since his first homicide, the death toll has climbed to over 100--a scale unreached by any serial killers that came before.

There are few clues to his true identity, as the voice heard on broadcasts is scrambled. The police have investigated diligently, but in vain, failing to so much as uncover the Duke's gender. As if to mock their efforts, there is no consistency to the Duke's ideologies, claims, mannerisms, or even modes of self-address in his irregular broadcasts, making him all the more elusive.
