"You ever do something that you knew wasn't going to help, but you did it anyway?"

Introduction

Caught first introduced himself to the internet with a grainy video in which he descibed a sense of sleeplessness and exhaustion, despite sleeping 10-12 hours a night. He expressed frustration with the situation and a signiture sarcastic attitude, admitting that he had little faith in the internet community to provide him with any useful information. Over time he began to deal with increasing evidence of Slenderman's presence, culminating in the Alleyway Encounter in 21129 21269 922518224. Since then he had been haunted not only by Slenderman himself, but also two others known as RoivasSevil and 1AmTheHelp3r, who seem to be attempting to sway him two different directions. He has pledged to continue going deeper until he can figure out the answers to his prediciment.

It has been recently revealed that Caught knows very little about himself, and remembers nothing before the events of the first Vlog_01. He uses the moniker Caught, as he doesn't remember his real name. There is evidence the 1AmTheHelp3r and/or RoivasSevil possess some information regarding his past and are trying to lead him back to himself. It is possible he used to know them.

Appearance and Behavior

Caught is a notoriously ill-tempered protagonist, often greating situations with sarcastic humour. Despite his attitude, Caught has revealed his fears regarding the situation, most notably in "Sorry." and a lighter edge, through his interactions with Natalie. He tends to charge into situations, regardless of danger, and often his sense of humour can get him in the most trouble, as evidence in "a gift for the slenderman".

Caught has also shown himself to be an unreliable narrator for multiple reasons. Firstly his admission that he has kept secrets from the audience in "sorry." has rendered his perspective suspect. Furthermore there are multiple questions regarding himself that he has yet to answer. As of yet he has yet to release his name, first editting it out, then referring to himself as "Caught". When asked by Natalie what his real name was, he refused to answer. There are is also the presence of the three mannequin forms of himself that were present in 925 Cranbrook Dr.

Which are not yet explained, but may conclude that Caught is an unknowing proxy, or losing his sanity. There has not yet been an explination for the existance of these manifestations.

Caught is almost always recognizable wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans and a grey hoodie. Often slightly unshaven, with curly hair, Caught's appearanced changed after "brand new day" when 1AmTheHelp3r gave Caught a haircut during his captivity. He is most recognizable by the rings that he wears which identify him as the cameraman.

Interaction

Caught will often interact with fans when they ask him questions or inquire to his safety. He has often shown himself to also be willing to listen to the advice of viewers, noting that they seem to have a more extensive knowledge of what's happening than he does. In "coffin contents" he leaves his next course of action up to the fans, he also takes fans suggestions such as inviting Natalie to 925 Cranbrook Drive, as well as leaving Slenderman a 20 dollar bill in "A gift for the Slenderman".
