{{Quote|There is a vast monster of a man with a hideous grin torn across the mask that keeps stalking my every move. Similar to a hunter, he tracks us, priming devastating traps amongst the greenery. Extreme vigilance and a light step is essential in avoiding the blood-curdling clench of a bear trap or the clutches of what I've taken to calling "The Miserable Smiling Killer". I have but many times managed to get caught in one of these traps. I have nothing but a fear for the feeling of blunt trap spikes grinding against my bones or for the heavy and deliberate footsteps which always inevitably reveal a plastered, sadistic grin. With the traps and the Trapper, it has so far been a constant battle between looking up and looking down. | [[Benedict Baker]]'s Journal, Nov. 1896|The Trapper|Dbd-journal-chuckles.png}}

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' or '''"The Trapper"''' is one of '''{{clr|2|{{#Invoke:Killers|getCountOfKillers}}}}''' {{IconLink|Killers}} currently featured in ''{{IconLink|Dead by Daylight}}''.

He was introduced as a member of the original Killer Trio that released with the Game on 14 June 2016.


== Overview ==
'''The Trapper''' is an area-control Killer, able to apply pressure across the Map by placing deadly '''Bear Traps''' for Survivors to step into.

His personal Perks, {{IconLink|Unnerving Presence}}, {{IconLink|Brutal Strength}}, and {{IconLink|Agitation}}, allow him to chase and carry Survivors more effectively.

He is focused on physical attributes and making use of his strength and the Survivors' fear.

Difficulty Rating: '''{{clr|3|Easy}}'''<br>
''(based on the amount of time and effort that is required to properly learn to play him and use his Power effectively)''


== Lore ==
[[File:TR_charPreview.png|frameless|left|150x385px]]
:Additional Lore can be found in ''Tome I - Awakening'': [[Blood, Brass and Grit]].
''Evan MacMillan idolised his father. It wasn't just that he was heir to a great fortune, it was the way he ran the estate. Raised under his firm hand, Evan had taken to running the workforce with an iron hand. Production was always high and the MacMillan Estate prospered under father and son.

''As Archie MacMillan's mental health slowly disintegrated, Evan protected him from the herd who wanted a piece of the fortune. No matter what his father asked of him, Evan would do.''

''When Archie MacMillan finally snapped, Evan became his enforcer in what would become known as the worst mass murder in modern history. They never proved that Evan lead over a hundred men into those dark tunnels before detonating the explosives and sealing them to their fate. The tale of the MacMillan Estate is a tale of wealth and power gone very wrong.''

''How many victims fell to the hands of father and son is unknown. No record is ever made of what became of Evan MacMillan. His father is another unsolved puzzle, found trapped in the locked basement of his own warehouse - starved and abandoned.''{{-}}
