Prescott Whitehorn is a Prime Asset and one of the antagonists in The Outlast Trials. He is a large, bald man with blood and wounds from the experiment. He appears to wear a self-made shoulder bandolier.
Background[]
Currently, there is very little information about Whitehorn besides a few documents mentioning him by name. He was only mentioned twice from the Project LATHE documents. However, many of the Sinyala Facility's Trial environments contain oil canisters, advertisements, and industrial set pieces with the brand name "Whitehorn Petroleum" under the ownership of "P. Whitehorn corp". This all suggests that Whitehorn was possibly the head of an oil company at one point.
Whitehorn is also depicted in some of the children's drawings and is titled "Angry Man", implying that he is a feared figure, especially for children. Based on documents found in the trials he may have come from a wealthy background causing him to develop a cult of personality.[1] At some point in his past, Whitehorn developed either a personal or professional relationship with a Southern congressman named Wallace.[2]
Sometime before Project LATHE 2, Whitehorn was admitted to a medical facility owned by the Murkoff Corporation for treatment of an undisclosed STD through extensive surgery. His fate following the treatment remains unknown.[3]
Physical description[]
Whitehorn is a large, hulking man much taller than any other Prime Asset, resembling a similar height to The Big Grunts. He wears a torn outfit consisting of a black ribbon around his neck, a blood-stained white shirt, a brown jacket, a pair of black boots, and a pair of light cream pants. He has hazel-colored eyes with rashes and wounds across his head and face. He has no hair, and he walks almost limply.

Trivia[]
- During Closed Beta, a picture frame of Whitehorn appeared in the Snitches Get Stitches (now called Kill the Snitch).
- As mentioned at the end of Toy Factory Dev Stream by Red Barrels, it was confirmed that Whitehorn had been scrapped or cancelled during its development; however, there has been some demand for Whitehorn to be included as a future Prime Asset. This has yet to fall through, as the next few Prime Assets would end up being completely new characters, Franco Barbi[5] and Otto and Arora Kress, however fans are hoping for Whitehorn to be included.
- After Whitehorn was officially dismissed by Red Barrels crew, his name is still mentioned twice in the evidence documents.
- His name was also mentioned by one of the idle Grunts in The Docks and his company name "Whitehorn Petroleum" can be seen in some industrial objects from various Trial environments.
- According to one of the founders of Red Barrels, Whitehorn's absence in Project LATHE Two was due to his temporary admission to a Murkoff Corporation medical facility for treatment of an STD. However, his current fate after this procedure remains unknown.[3]
- Based on his animation leaks, it was theorized that Whitehorn was going to wield a shotgun that can shoot the Reagents from a distance. However, this mechanic has been repurposed for Franco Barbi.
- In one of the Sleep Room bundles from Winter Kills 2024, Whitehorn's name is written on the naughty list.
