Patriarch of Durst Family, husband of Elizabeth Durst and father of baby Walter, Rose, and Thorn.

He was also the co-leader of a terrible cult with cannibalistic sacrifices. His acts were abominable, and he committed suicide after the discovery of the murder of the nursemaid Margaret and the sacrifice of his youngest child, Walter Durst. He, along with his wife, transformed into ghasts that haunted the hidden basement beneath the Durst Manor.
