Frank Antonio Manera, also known as The Cannibal, is a major antagonist in the 2014 survival horror video game Outlast: Whistleblower, the DLC midquel to Outlast. A cannibalistic Variant, Frank is the first significant enemy that Waylon Park needs to escape from.

He was voiced by Edward Yankie, who also portrayed Jonathan Small in the 2001 adaptation of The Sign of Four.

Biography[]

Past[]

Frank Antonio Manera was born in 1976. His father is named Antonio Manera. Little is known about Frank's past, only that he is 36 years old and has been admitted to the asylum on October 31, 2010. According to the doctors of the Murkoff Corporation in the Mount Massive Asylum, Frank Manera has suffered from significant weight loss due to refusing any food given to him (hiding the fact that he is a cannibal).

In 2012, Frank Manera ended their queries, being taken to the Morphogenic Engine (a fact that was hidden from his father). Later, Frank Manera becomes a very dangerous Variant, who, the overwhelming majority of the time, ended up attacking defenseless Variants and even stronger Variants.

Outlast: Whistleblower[]

In 2013, Frank Manera escapes from his holding when The Walrider breaches containment, along with several other Variants.

Frank Manera killed several guards, mutilating them and eating their flesh. When Waylon Park met for the first time with Frank, he was devouring a body of a random doctor in the cafeteria. After that, Frank Manera chases Waylon Park, deciding to take ownership of his meat and murder him with a circular saw, as well as many other ways. Eventually, he ambushes Park and restrains him. As he was about to murder him with the saw, he paused and noticed a nearby furnace. Frank decided to throw Park inside the furnace and lock him inside, intending to burn him alive. However, Park manages to escape the furnace, much to Frank's anger, who resumes chasing him.

Waylon manages to escape Frank permanently, and eventually the asylum itself, leaving Frank locked inside.

Frank is not seen again, but it's highly likely he survived, as when the private military contractors stormed the building on the orders of their higher-ups to contain the situation by exterminating all hostiles, referring to The Variants. The soldiers only killed some variants in the actual building while Frank was trapped inside the recreation block, which is completely locked up and isolated from the actual building. It's likely Frank continued to prowl the recreation area and kill and eat the variants inside.
