Description
PRE03 is capable of using multiple appearances, all of which are identical to those of deceased individuals. Known examples include a priest dressed in white, a World War I soldier wearing a gas mask, and a young adult male wearing a gas mask and black jacket and armed with a rifle and baseball bat. The latter two forms, particularly the last, are commonly referred to as "Gas Mask."
PRE03 may also manifest as a deceased friend, relative, or other associate of its current target.
Regardless of its current appearance, PRE03 is capable of superhuman acts of strength, particularly when using melee weapons, meaning it is advisable to attempt to exit the area by any means necessary if you believe it may be present.
Similarly to PRE01, PRE03's behavior and apparent motives vary between accounts. Some sources describe it as aggressive, using weapons corresponding to its current appearance (e.g., a rifle and trench raiding club when using the aforementioned "WWI soldier" appearance), while others describe it as passively observing its target, often from a distance.
The Topography Genera Center East website describes PRE03 as wandering peacefully in pursuit of unknown goals, though given inconsistencies with other accounts and later revelations regarding said source's reliability, this should be treated as discredited, and PRE03 should be assumed to be hostile, even if it does not yet appear to be behaving violently.
Regardless of PRE03's own behavior, the more immediate threat generally lies in its servants: P03A00 ("Timberwolves") and P03B00 ("Apostles"). As its servants are usually willing, they tend to behave in a more aggressive and violent manner than unwilling servants, as they themselves desire to carry out any and all actions they believe will fulfill the goals of PRE03.
PRE03 is never observed speaking, but may write. When it does so, it generally writes in all-lowercase with the exception of the names it uses for other PREs, which are written in all-uppercase (e.g., STRANGER for PRE01, FERAL for PRE02, ELDER for PRE04).
