Question about the Key-Lock Killer
Crimson Throne and Runelords:
There was mention of this serial killer in the Korvosa time line and I was wondering if anyone knows of any additional information about him or added anything into their own campaigns. I would like to add something in my soon to be starting Crimson Throne game, maybe tying it into Runelords somehow. (Maybe having him have some sort of life change when the runewell flared up 6 years before)
Any ideas or experience would be appreciated.

Question about the Key-Lock Killer
** spoiler omitted **
I actually did use him as a plot device in a character's back-story after the EoA.
Runelords and Throne spoilers to follow!:
I didn't directly tie them in but if you wanted to utilize the Runewells to some effect, maybe the Killer came from Sandpoint and got into the Wrath variation. I used him as an orc assassin who favored polearms to strike from a distance but there isn't much of a requirement in so far as who or what the Key-Lock killer is. Alternatively, I could see him as part of the Skinsaw cult in Magnimar who decided to branch out.
I know it's not the request but for his MO, he stabbed his victims in the neck and placed a key inside. Kind of corny, so feel free to come up with something better but my players seem to accept this as feasible. Make sure to include details like favored victims and the like, it usually leads to a more believable story.
