Theodore Saunders is the late father of Grace Saunders and husband of Gabriella Saunders. He appears as a minor unseen character in Alone in the Dark (2024).
Biography[]
Theodore Saunders, at some point in time, married Gabriella and together had a daughter who they named Grace and lived a healthy married life of modest wealth and status. However, life became miserable for Theodore and Grace due to Gabriella's strange obsession over a painting (by Jeremy Hartwood).
Theodore took Grace to run away from Gabriella, and stole the painting so he could sell it to fund his escape. He took the painting to Thornhill and stayed at the St. George Hotel under the fake name of Ted Stryker. He left the day after.
Theodore was eventually tracked down by Private Investigator Edward Carnby, hired by his former wife Gabriella to retrieve her painting and take Grace back home. He would soon catch up to Theodore in a car chase, leading to his car accidentally rammed him off Pearl River Bridge. Carnby got a boat and rescued Grace but left Theodore in the car to drown.
Theodore's death left Grace Saunders mentally damaged, which lead Gabriella to have her daughter committed in Derceto, and his legacy forever tarnished as a mad man who kidnapped his daughter.
Trivia[]
- After remembering when he read Theodore's fake name (Ted Stryker), Edward Carnby says he thought the name was familiar to him, making a nod to Ted Striker from Alone in the Dark 2, although the name is misspelled.
- Like in Ted Striker's story, Theodore's ultimate purpose was to rescue Grace, but would eventually perish in his attempt. Both died of suffocation.
- Theodore's face in the photograph is taken from a portrait, with edited features, of a farm worker by documentary photographer August Sander. To see the original photo, click here.
