| ~ Jeremy Blaire upon catching Waylon attempting to expose Murkoff. |
Jeremy Blaire is a major antagonist in the Outlast franchise. He is a Murkoff Corporation executive who oversaw and originally worked on the Project Walrider experiments at Mount Massive Asylum.
He was voiced by Matt Holland.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Unlike most of the villains in the Outlast games, he is completely sane and possesses full moral agency over his actions.
- On his orders, Mount Massive Asylum was used as a front to acquire human test subjects under false pretenses for an extended period of time. As a result, the asylum's patients, even those who sought genuine mental help, were physically and psychologically tortured to the point of insanity and used as test subjects for the Morphogenic Engine Program. Blaire's greedy desire to continue experimenting on patients would inevitably trigger the Mount Massive Asylum Incident.
- While most patients die from Murkoff's experiments, he orders the few who survive to be used as hosts of the Walrider: an extremely powerful entity which serves as a collective swarm of nanites that can be controlled by brainwashed test subjects through lucid dreaming. Blaire intended to assist Murkoff in intending to use the Walrider as a weapon.
- Despite the catastrophic effect Murkoff's experiments have on women, he showed interest in acquiring female patients for the sake of extra profit.
- He has no problem throwing his own employees into the Morphogenic Engine Program for insubordination. This included Chris Walker (a violent serial killer who would become one of the asylum's most infamous Variants) and Richard Trager (his own best friend, even if he was just as depraved as him). He also callously uses snitches such as Waylon Park as test subjects as a means to silence them.
- It says in a document that he asked his employee Helen Grant to tell Lisa Park, Waylon's wife, that her husband had mental problems and was hired as a test subject.
- He also says that if she keeps calling, he will "contact her personally", which probably means that he would try to get rid of her as well.
- During the events of Outlast and Whistleblower, he does everything in his power to ensure that no one escapes the asylum alive except for himself so he that he and Murkoff can evade moral and legal consequences for their atrocities. He even personally destroys the radio which Waylon Park was going use to call authorities for help. He then attempts to strangle Waylon with a nightstick, but leaves him to die once he hears Chris Walker heading in their direction.
- When he was lying injured in the main hall while Waylon was about to escape, he hypocritically asked him to help him and that he will do the same, while he nearly killed him hours ago.
- After Waylon got past him, he cowardly stabbed him in the stomach and claimed that no one must know the truth, attempting to kill him before Miles Upshur (in the Walrider form) intervenes to save Waylon.
- Overall, he is the one responsible for the events of the first game as he knew the effects the machine had on others, but didn't care about it as long as he profited of it, meaning he is responsible for almost all of the asylum's patients turning into psychotic murderers and torturers, with him being fully aware of his actions, but not caring so long as he can prevent the word of it happening from getting out.
