Meanwhile Shelter (real name unknown) is planning a mass murder of all the homeless people in London. Shelter served in the Army for twenty-nine years, recruiting homeless people from the streets and into the army. He was discharged on medical grounds, but he claims to be 'as fit as a butcher's dog'. He believes that the army is hatching a plan to fill up the cities with homeless people so they can undermine the city. The actual reason was because he was mentally unstable. He chooses to clean up the streets by killing the homeless. Shelter plans very meticulously. He starts small and tries not to create a pattern in his killings so he cannot be tracked down. By buying a flat and a cat he manages to lure many of the homeless to their deaths. By the time he encounters Link, Shelter has killed seven people.
