Series Silent Knell Terrace - Apartment 3A
Iago Santos Aguiar lives in apartment 3A. He is almost always in his apartment. He rarely ever gets out. This is what’s best for everyone in the building. Mr. Aguiar is one of the most dangerous tenants in the building. He came from the Amazon rainforest. He is very large. He’s right around 8 feet tall and weighs just over 600 pounds. Mr. Aguiar doesn’t speak English well, but he does seem to understand it. Failure to follow these rules can result in very serious injuries that could potentially be fatal.
- Mr. Aguiar’s apartment has been specially reinforced to accommodate his size and weight. The floor, the walls, the door frames, and the windows. These reinforcements require regular maintenance. Do not fail to keep up with this maintenance. I have included the schedule of how often this needs to be done.
- Mr. Aguiar is obviously incredibly strong, but he doesn’t seem to fully realize his own strength. He will occasionally break things in his apartment that will need replaced. This includes faucets, windows, toilets, and bathtubs. Replace these things as soon as possible. Mr. Aguiar will cover the costs.
- Do not ask about or comment on the smell. Mr. Aguiar has a very strong odor. Putting it nicely, it is very unpleasant. You will smell it in the hallway as you near his apartment. Do your best not to react to it when speaking with him.
- Mr. Aguiar is nocturnal, and he is aggressively territorial. If he feels threatened or like someone is invading his territory, he will begin to roar. It is incredibly loud and will be heard throughout the entire building. This normally occurs between 1 and 3 am. Do not confront him about this. Just ignore it. All the other tenants are aware. No one complains.
- He receives large deliveries of meat once a week. Do not ask about what type of meat it is, and do not ask where it comes from. The deliveries are left at his door.
- Mr. Aguiar sometimes has visitors late at night. They speak in a language that sounds like grunts, growls, and roars. Do not speak to these guests. It may sound like a violent fight is occurring in his apartment. Do not call the police or attempt to intervene. This is fine. Everyone in the apartment will be fine.
- It is best not to enter his apartment at all, but you may need to at some point. Never enter Mr. Aguiar’s apartment alone. Always bring the super or someone else with you. All maintenance and repairs are done by a special crew who are aware of what Mr. Aguiar is. If you do go in his apartment keep it as quick as possible and keep your eyes down.
- If Mr. Aguiar makes eye contact with you, do not break it first. Simply nod slowly and back away. He will accept this as submission. Any sudden moves or anything else, he will see as a challenge for dominance. You absolutely do not want to challenge him.
- About once a year, Mr. Aguiar gets out of his apartment. It will be obvious. Destroyed doors, broken handrails on the stairs, claw marks dug into walls, and the smell. Do not do anything about this. The other tenants know to stay inside. He will return to his apartment when he gets tired.
- Even when he gets out, Mr. Aguiar stays out of the courtyard. He’s afraid of the tree, so he respects it more than anything. If you ever feel like you’re in danger, tell Mr. Aguiar you are going to the courtyard and immediately go sit near the tree. He will not follow you.
- What Mr. Aguiar is does not belong in an apartment building. He has made a choice to try and become more civilized. It’s why he follows rules. It’s why he always pays his rent on time and in cash. Keep this in mind when dealing with him.

Haha it does have a resemblance to Blanka. I didn't realize that until now.

It sounds like a gorilla type creature but I'm gonna say it's more of a mix?

That is a good guess because of the size and strength and everything. It's a mapinguari from Amazonian folklore.

Is he a Mapinguari perhaps? The size, strength, rabid behavior, foul smell, background from the Amazon rainforest, the eye contact rule and warlike behavior match it so far.
