Thomas Zane, Alan Wake
Thomas Zane was a novelist who is a major part of Alan Wake’s backstory. First depicted as a benevolent light that helps Alan Wake avoid the murderous Hitchhiker, Zane serves as Wake’s mentor and teaches him how to defeat those possessed by the Dark Presence. Zane later appears in a diving suit in subsequent parts of the story. Even as bits of his backstory are revealed, Zane remains a mysterious presence throughout the game.
