A brutal, savage beast... yet, The Rake is at least capable of human speech and is likely quite intelligent. It is theorized, however that the Rake has merely been putting on the "beast" act for a long time, and is far, far more intelligent than it lets on. It represents the fear of brutality and animals, and originates from this creepypasta story.

Joseph Steward (of Hidden in the Trees) put forth the theory that The Rake's whispers are responsible for the Compulsion. Whether this theory is true or not is unknown.

The Free Radical (of Channel Fear) put forth that those who go crazy due to the Rake's whispers are his servants. He calls them Maenads.

Its domain was seen very briefly as a densely wooden area that Steward was taken to after he was kidnapped. It is unknown if this was the same place as the "Wilderness of Whispers" from Once There Was.
