Owen Gubberson

"'Mortimer's more me than I am.'""- Owen Gubberson"

Bio
Owen Gubberson was the Creator of Mortimer's Handeemen, the primary designer of the puppets used in the show, and the puppeteer behind Mortimer himself.

Later in his life, he became mad and started researching Voodoo occultism in order to bring his creations to life, believing that his puppets had souls within them. During his studies, he came across a Voodoo ritual that would bring his creations to life, fulfilling his greatest desire. The apparent ritual was a success, but unfortunately for Owen, his creations came out as he describes, "Twisted . . . wrong, somehow," in his audio logs. He described Riley as the "worst" and that she was a "monster" and that Mortimer didn't see human beings as anything but "cattle."

Eventually, having lost control over his creations, Owen was told by Mortimer that he had a plan to "cheer [him] up," which led to his gruesome fate to the puppets. His bisected and decomposing corpse was discovered by the Host and Scout.

In Hello Puppets Midnight Show. Owen came back to the workshop and tried to end this madness.

Appearance
He was a middle-aged man with a dark gray mop of hair, similar to Riley's. In the picture of him working on Riley's puppet, he seems to look angry. This is possibly a symptom of overworking, and it gave him a scowl.

Personality
Owen was a hard-working individual, spending an upwards of 6 years designing and building the puppets before the show finally aired. While he was pleasant to get along with, he was also a firm believer in the occult and Voodoo, which ultimately led to him bringing his puppets to life due to his belief that a part of him existed within his creations.

Trivia

 * Owen and Anthony Pierson share some similarities with each other: both have an unhealthy obsession (Anthony with trying to prove himself right, Owen with his puppets) and end up losing their lives because of it.
