The Mayor

The Mayor is an NPC and a hostile encounter in Fear and Hunger: Termina.

Lore
The current and former Mayor of Prehevil or at least you're told. He was a new arrival and the town doesn't hold elections, so his rise to mayorhood is quite suspicious.

Since he's a new arrival he could have arrived with the rest of the participants or perhaps he had arrived weeks earlier to Prehevil to drastically change in appearance.

Despite all this he still behaves in the most formal way. He's touchy about his antlers, best not mention them to him.

He doesn't seem to want to be involved in the Termina festival itself or just doesn't want to get on the Bremen Kaiser's bad side.

While burnt by Rher's moonlight, he doesn't seem to go insane like the rest of the villagers. However, his form of insanity is different, as he seems to interpret his 'foodstuffs' as something completely different and like forms of art, while player sees them as mutilated pieces of genitals and flesh from others beings that might have angered the mayor, and some other foodstuff that are shaped like genitalia.

Strategy
Depending on the player's answers to the questions he asked while sitting with him, he will be either hostile or friendly. Just one important thing: do not say that you are on the side with the Bremen army.

And do not mention his antlers. He is sensitive about them.

If you do fight him, he does a lot of damage with his weapons. His fork can attack two times in a row though.
