A

Archie Vasquez, or just A, is a mysterious hermit who is introduced as living in the mountains above camp and seems to be quite afraid of people. Heavily superstitious, he is dedicated to uncovering the dark secrets around Forgotten Bay.

Appearance and personality
A is a tall and skinny young man, about 18 years old, with an unkempt appearance. He has long, spiky brown hair, brownish skin, a prominent nose and bronze-colored eyes. He is rarely seen smiling. A acts very suspicious and cautious around people, though for those he trusts, his trust is absolute. He is very curious, overanalyzes things, and has an excellent memory. He has a tendency to think everything is a conspiracy of some sort. Although he has a quite astute people sense, he acts very socially awkward (though this may really just be an act).

Background
A originally lived in Seattle, where he attended the same high school as, and dated, Reina. His father was an alcoholic constantly in debt, who mostly left A to fend for himself. A didn’t have much interest in traditional goals such as getting into a good college or a prestigious career, instead exploring various methods of entrepreneurship, which ultimately led him down the wrong path. The exact course of events that led him to arrive at camp remains unknown.

After arriving at camp, A befriended Daisy, which led to a fraying of his relationship with Reina. When Daisy found and shared the captain's journal with him, A was initially skeptical of the purported curse but after extensively studying the history of Forgotten Bay, he began to believe in its existence. Soon, A began to question his sanity and wonder if the curse could be real. When Mom attempted to confiscate the diary, A managed to escape from camp, only to be attacked by a bear and then being saved by Daisy. Daisy agreed to help A survive in the woods and made up a story that A was killed by the bear.
