The Face Taker, a man whom resided on the Upper Floors, practiced a bizarre hobby. He would capture his victims, and skin their heads, so that their faces could be removed.

As opposed to directly persuing his victims, the mask taker hides in the shadows. The perferred method of attack was to wait in the shadows , luring his victime near the darkness. Slowly, he would close in on his victim, and grab him! He would take the victims deep within his lair, bind them to an operating table, and proceed to carry out a procedure in which he sould remove the victims' faces. In fact, he wears the face of his first victim as a mask. His lair is also decorated with the faces of his victims.

The Crawlers, previously being a part of the swarm, were a cult that worshipped the Grave Robber. After the Face Taker rose to prevalance, they broke from the swarm and became a unified group. After warring with the swarm, they fled and took residence in the Upper Floors. The area, ravaged by the outbreak, was a claim welcome for the Crawlers.

They also wore the removed faces of The Face Taker's victims.
