Maniacal
Serial killers are psychologically challenged, and Sebastian Jones is no exception to this rule. His mother Polly suffers from, Trimethylaminuria, a glandular disorder that makes her have a perpetual foul odor no matter how much she tries to shower the stench off. She wears generous amounts of perfume to cover the smell, making Sebastian associate perfume with the disease. Due to Polly’s physical and mental abuse of Sebastian, he has disassociated himself from his relationships with women. Sebastian seems forced into relating with prostitutes, although it seems they wear as much perfume as his mother, making him compare their aroma with disease, and the abuse Polly has inflicted on him. If you can take away one word of advice; never take rides from strangers.

Hopefully, they can stop the beasts before they have another generation of offspring that continue to wreak havoc on the surrounding population of unsuspecting victims.
