Donnery “Donny” Maltheus is the main antagonist of Bloxburg Tales: Donnery Trilogy. He is a jealous and spiteful serial killer who will go to any lengths to prevent his victims from experiencing the happiness he didn’t receive as a child.
Biography[]
Born into the prestigious wealth of the Maltheus family, being the son of his two unnamed parents, he spent the early years of his life in the family estate near the outskirts of Bloxburg, leaving him to be disconnected from the world, and having trouble socializing with his peers. Which manifested in a sense of entitlement and narcissism. Unfortunately, his father was abusive, both physically and psychologically, and his mother was a absentee and a bystander.
Donnery was frequently beaten, and occasionally tortured with hot stones and even thrown into a pen with feral animals, cementing his fathers sadistic qualities. Donnery was highly misanthropic, and pessimistic during his early teenage years, suffering from depression and a crippling loneliness.
However, that all changed when he met an unnamed girl going by the name, “First” encaptured, but envious of her confidence, and popularity. Their relationship blossomed until word reached Donnery’s father, who proceeded to sabotage their relationship, through gossip about First’s lustful tendencies, and vanity, ruining her image in the public eye. Donnery’s father pinned the source of the gossip on Donnery, effectively ruining Donnery and First’s relationship. In a sorrow, Donnery isolated himself, due to First’s reluctance to see him.
Eventually, Donnery overheard his father and his co-workers discussing about how easy it was ruining First’s reputation. He attempted to discuss this with First, but First replied that their relationship was over. She hated him, and that she never wanted to see him again.
Heartbroken, and enraged, during the town festival, Donnery killed his father, and First, framing her death as revenge on Donnery, by killing his father, as well as leaving a suicide note and fingerprints on a knife at the scene of the crime, as well as an alibi with being out of town. His mother, horrified at the discovery, used her wealth and connections to protect her son from the law, as well as bribing the authorities to help her son avoid jail-time. She also created false news headlines to sway the media away from her family to protect their reputation and business.
A year afterwards, Donnery left the outskirts, and travelled into Central Bloxburg in order to start fresh. He would then go to meet Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth, who would all be murdered and have their deaths covered-up through accidents, car crashes, murder-suicides, and drug overdoses.
Insistence[]
During the events of Insistence, Donnery met a young woman known as Nav or “Sixth” at his workplace. She is a widowed, yet wealthy and hardworking single mother with two children, and a plantation business. Donnery immediately takes a jealous frustration and obsession with the picturesque life of Nav’s children, Sam and Ollie, due to his rough upbringing as a child.
Nav and Donnery immediately start to bond, with Donnery using his father's ‘’recent’’ death as a means to garner sympathy, and to appeal to Nav, who has also lost a loved one.
Ollie, sneaks his way into Donnery’s backyard. Unbeknownst to Ollie however, Donnery has been watching from the second floor of his house. Seizing an opportunity to sabotage Nav’s life with her children, Donnery goes to Nav’s house the next morning reporting Ollie’s trespassing, estranging Nav’s relationship with her child.
Afterwards, Donnery begins to come over for dinner at Nav’s house. Donnery makes passive-aggressive remarks towards Sam, about his father. This causes sam to go into a rage, smashing an expensive vase, which causes him to be grounded for two weeks.
Nav discovers that Donnery lied about the date of his father's death, and discovers that his father had actually died 23 years prior. He manipulated and guilt-tripped him into submission, in which Nav, guilty, goes to Donnery’s house to apologize. Donnery offers a tour of his house to Nav, to which she obliges.
Donnery attempts to kiss Nav, but she backs off, startled. He asks her about her surprised reaction, and tells her maybe they were actually becoming something. Nav says that she likes him, just not in that way. Donnery, clearly upset but straining, slowly exits the room. Donnery offers to call an Uber and goes downstairs to get the cellphone. However, Donnery approaches Nav from behind and smashes her head in with a Scholar Stone, knocking her unconscious. Nav wakes up in a basement, as Donnery reveals his true intentions. He is going to convince Nav’s children that she had abandoned them, in order to ruin her family beyond repair. He states that he has always been jealous of Nav’s relationship with her kids, and feel that if he can’t have something, then no one can.
Sam and Ollie attempt to break into Donnery’s basement, but Donnery poisons Ollie, causing his skin to rash, bleeding from the nose and mouth. Nav manages to the stairway connecting to surface, stabbing Donnery in the arm. Nav tells Sam and Ollie to go upstairs, but Donnery has already smashed their phones, and closed the gate, rendering them unable to contact the authorities.
Donnery corners Nav, and with nowhere left to go, stabs herself in an attempt to commit suicide, knowing that Donnery would transport her to the hospital, or leave her to die. Donnery, with no choice and no alibi, decides to take her to the hospital.
Nav awakens, unable to speak due to a tube in her mouth. Donnery goes into her room, and threatens her that if she doesn’t claim that she attempted suicide, he will use her past emotional abuse in various foster care homes, and her history with drug addiction which he discovered through a private investigator that he will report her to CPS, separating her from her children, due to her being deemed unfit for parenthood, putting Sam and Ollie into the foster care system, where he will then make sure they will not be adopted.
Nav reluctantly obliges, and lies to the psychologists. However, it’s revealed that her children would be taken away, as Ollie and Sam are shown to be taken away, as Nav cries and begs for them not to leave her.
Nav’s reputation in the public eye is ruined, her business fails, and she is ostracized socially and fired from her job. With her life ruined, and with nothing left to lose, she swears to expose Donnery as the monster he truly is. Nav hires a private investigator, Damian, who attempts to plant cameras in Donnery’s house. Donnery however, has been revealed to have hired a counter-surveillance agent in the case of an event like this. Nav is frustrated due to no useful leads.
The next day, Donnery arranges to meet with Nav, it’s revealed that Donnery has found the cameras in his house and is using them as leverage, and has posted a story, with fabricated evidence on his Instagram, painting Nav as a stalker. Donnery will only delete the story if Nav backs down, and stops tailing him. Nav pretends to back down, as Donnery reminds her that her childrens lives are at stake.
The next day after, the story has been taken down, with a post on Donnery’s Instagram stating about how he’ll be taking a short break, due to ‘’stress’’ in his life. His followers are concerned, and Nav leaves comments on his Instagram, claiming that he’s faking this hiatus for sympathy. Her comment is screenshotted and taken down.
Nav continues to go over the information with Damian, who exclaims that he has found some inconsistencies in Donnery’s past. Donnery claims that his father had recently died a year ago, but apparently, his father died 23 years prior. Damian also exclaims that around that date, his mother made a large donation to the Superintendent of the local police department. And a few months later, the department shut down inexplicably, with the main involvement of Donnery’s family.
Nav also notices something, with the town festival, there was a picture of Donnery, along with first and his father in a picture of the town Central Park. Nav goes over old footage of the interview of Donnery, who says that he wasn’t in town when the murder-suicide took place. Nav comes to a shocking realization that Donnery’s crime was actually being covered up by his wealth and with full, undeniable evidence arranges to meet with Donnery in 2 days. However, Ollie had been experiencing complications in the hospital, and later, passes away. Nav is unable to see him due to her restrictions inflicted on her by CPS. Nav comforts herself, and says that tomorrow, this’ll all be over.
Nav comes home to prepare early in the morning and finds a broken window and all of Damian’s findings torched at the bottom of the floor. Nav marches out to the abandoned warehouse that Donnery requested they meet at. Nav knows that Donnery wouldn’t be able to ignore such a threat, due to the ruining of his reputation and all the work he’s out into it.
Nav tells Donnery that the world will know what he really is. Donnery tells her that the world will always side with him because between the two of them he has the more attractive persona. He then pulls a gun and attempts to shoot Nav to death. However, she runs to the upper floor and catches him from behind. As the two wrestle, Donnery falls off the balcony, seemingly to his death. However as Nav checks on his body, Donnery surprises her, as Nav fires a bullet directly into his shoulder.
Donnery tells her that doing this won’t bring her son back, but Nav tells him that it was what her son would’ve wanted. As Nav is about to pull the trigger, the police barge in and apprehend her. It’s revealed that during the past few weeks, Donnery has been slowly setting up Nav as a jealous stalker in order to get her sent to prison. Donnery smiles as he sees the look of horror on Nav’s face. Donnery crawls outside and feigns fear and horror.
Nav is later sent to life in prison, as revealed in a National News headline. Donnery steps out into his house, glad that he has finally won and escaped punishment. It’s revealed that he has already gotten Damian fired from his job, to prevent him from potentially speaking out or testifying against him. He has also made sure Sam stays homeless, and the last he’s heard of the boy, he was on the run. Donnery has gained immense popularity in the public eye, and is viewed as a hero and survivor of abuse. Donnery starts a mental health advocacy brand, and garners a fortune out of the job.
Donnery is shown to be successful, but his sadistic urges aren’t quenched just yet, as he spots a young girl spoon feeding a little boy presumed to be her daughter.
Donnery walks up to her, and asks her what her name is, as the two engage in a polite conversation, Donnery announces her as the seventh as the screen cuts to black.
Resistance[]
Taking place 6 months after Insistence, Donnery is shown to be at his workplace, celebrating his new promotion at work. Donnery’s life has been at an all time high, due to his benefits gained from framing Nav.
His boss introduces a new worker, Felisha, the seventh. Instead of Donnery making the moves, Felisha immediately brings Donnery on a retreat outside of town, where the two eventually engage in a romantic relationship.
Felisha takes Donnery over to her house, and is surprised and saddened by the happy family. Felisha's father, Harold, compliments Donnery’s shirt. And for the first time in the series, Donnery genuinely smiles. Felisha notices this, and brings Donnery out to the patio, where Donnery discusses his past life with his father, in an attempt to guilt trip Felisha, and tells him his father committed suicide in front of him at an early age. Felisha shares her sympathy with him.
Later, while the two are done making love, Felisha reveals that she knows Donnery is a serial killer, but says that if he does any stupid moves, that there are wiretaps hidden in her house, and that she’ll tell an associate of hers to upload all the evidence unto a police forum. Donnery is blackmailed into enrolling Felisha into special acting classes in order to help her land an Ad Deal so she can get a decent enough portfolio to land in a major tv show role. She also manipulates him to put the money underneath her name. Donnery finds out that her ‘’Associate’ is actually her son, he threatens Felisha that if she doesn’t get rid of the evidence on him, he will make sure his son doesn’t get into college, and upload a sex video of him and another girl on the internet, which will ruin her family’s reputation and prevent her from getting an acting career. Felisha reluctantly obliges, but she is shown making a copy of it and hiding it in her backyard.
Under the threat of her personal information and her life as an actor at stake, Felisha invites Donnery out to a woodland retreat near a waterfall. It’s revealed Felisha purposefully chose the location due to the highly flammable marshes and trees. Felisha believes that if she burns down the house with Donnery inside of it, she’ll be able to use the story of a seemingly “perfect” man turning out to be a malicious abuser to her advantage, (ironically rooted in truth) she’ll be able to use to the story to land a main role in a show, and become famous. She instructs her son, Simon to upload the copy of the evidence online to a police forum, in case anything bad happened to her. Donnery discovers this, and uploads a picture of himself in his apartment. In order to provide a proper alibi to the cops, and the public. While Felisha is sleeping, Donnery creeps into her sons room, and kills him with a kitchen knife.
Felisha is shown standing outside the room, recording the incident on her phone. Donnery lunges at her, and the two struggle. Felisha kicks Donnery in the face and down into the cellar, As Felisha locks the door, goes outside to run the fuel. Felisha attempts to upload the video to the police forum, but frustratedly gives up when there is no reception. Felisha sets the house ablaze, burning her foot in the process. She laughs, believing that she has killed Donnery, and about to reach fame, when Donnery comes up from behind her, tapping her shoulder, before pinning her stabbing her throat, mimicking a suicide. Donnery spits on her corpse, spouting about how a ‘’vapid bitch’’ like her never deserved fame.
‘Donnery goes to the edge of the forest, and writes a suicide letter, detailing Felisha’s frustrations of being a parent, and her killing her son in an attempt to protect their family reputation after discovering Simon’s sex tape, and how she couldn’t handle the guilt of killing him shortly after. Donnery prevents the fire from growing, moving the burnt logs to a secluded area, before throwing the laptop into the house and restarting it, successfully ending Felisha’s reign of terror.
Donnery exits the woods, and gets into a car. He goes into a mall, and sees a teenage girl in a wheelchair. Donnery looks over at the girl smiling, to which she unexpectedly looks away from him meekly. This angers Donnery. But his anger slowly turns into a smile, Donnery whispers under his breath, “Hello 8th.”
Diligence (WIP)[]

Personality[]
Donnery at first, is shown to be an exceptionally kind, caring, and thoughtful individual. He shows empathy and respect towards Nav, and has the full support of those around him, even shown to be running a mental health advocacy brand in partnership with his workplace. He is also shown to be charitable, as he has participated in the remodelling of the city park.
Unfortunately, however, this is just a facade, as he is truly shown to be an envious and spiteful monster. He wishes to destroy those of whom he is threatened by, going to extreme lengths to ruin their happy lives and take away everything they hold dear. His true monstrous personality is shown to be an extension of his severe childhood trauma and the abuse inflicted upon him by his father, which manifests in his searching for a normal happy life. This is especially true in the case of his partners. His obsessive desire to corrupt, control, and get into a relationship with his partners is a reflection of the comfort and safety he felt when he met first, and the pure unfiltered rage he felt when she rejected his advances.
Donnery is shown to have adept and extreme expertise in manipulation and strategy, as he is shown to disrupt and control events in his partners lives. Even shown to be feigning injury and mental illness to gain more influence over his partners. Showing that he is even worse than his father, despite his constant insistence that he was a better man than he was. He also shows signs of genuine sympathy to victims of abuse, and at very rare occasions with his partners.
At his core, Donnery is extremely lonely, and pensive, truly wanting the normal family that he never had. He is also shown to have a cowardly side, due to his panic at the threat of Nav exposing his past with solid consistent evidence to back it up. Which broke the image of a invincible man, showing him to be truly a whimpering manchild who uses his wealth as a protective barrier to avoid facing the consequences of his crimes.
| “ | You foolish WITLESS whore. You know damn well the reason as to why I’m doing this. Your dirty brats, living their lives comfortably, safe from all misfortune and suffering. I couldn’t stand to watch, slaving away the role of the friendly neighbour. Watch you destroy yourself. I had to do something, you see, your raising your boys to be little girls. Even a monkey can sense your lack of backbone. Your children lack character, but once I’m finished, your children will grow up to be truly strong, and independent. You just have to give me a chance, but I will get what’s needed either way. | „ |
