The Butcher: Difference between revisions

** And anyone who actually lives in Brisbane will find the concept of it being home to anything so exciting as a war criminal hilarious.

* Dexter Morgan of ''[[Dexter]]'' was dubbed "The Bay Harbor Butcher" after a couple of treasure divers stumbled across his dumping ground. {{spoiler|Eventually, the name ends up attached to Sergeant Doakes, who does not actually have anything to do with Dexter's murders but is conveniently dead by the end of the season.}}

* The title character of the ''[[Babylon 5]]'' episode "Deathwalker," Jha'dur, is named such for the war crimes that she carried out during the Dilgar War, and was responsible for cruel experiments on Na'Toth's grandfather and other people, which led to Na'Toth swearing vengeance upon her.
