Butcher, whose full name is never explicitly revealed in the narrative of Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series and spin-off novel Odd Interlude, is a prominent and enigmatic antagonist. He is identified primarily by his imposing physical presence and menacing aura.

Little is definitively known about Butcher's origins or history prior to his appearances. What is apparent is his dedication to a dark, possibly supernatural, agenda. He serves as a formidable henchman to forces that threaten the existence of others, particularly Odd Thomas and those Odd is dedicated to protecting.

Butcher's methods are characterized by brutality and a willingness to inflict pain and suffering. He often displays unwavering loyalty to his mysterious benefactors and carries out their malevolent tasks with grim efficiency. His physical strength and intimidating demeanor make him a significant threat throughout his appearances.

Although his true motives remain largely unexplored, Butcher's primary function is to serve as a physical obstacle and enforcer, embodying the tangible dangers that Odd Thomas must confront in his battles against evil.
