Old Man

The Old Man is an NPC and fellow driver in Beware. He is only encountered in Patreon-exclusive versions of the game.

Description
The Old Man is, as implied, an elderly man living in the region. He is wearing a brown cap and a blue jacket and pants.

Gameplay
The Old Man appears in a Patreon-exclusive "mission" in the game, driving fast and dangerously through the countryside to escape the Pursuers. He is not alone: in the back of his car is a small child, possibly an infant or toddler, in a perpetual state of terror. You are tasked with escorting the man and the child safely through the region by fighting off the Pursuers, and must follow him all the way to his destination.

He is, however, a rather bad driver and safety hazard to players as he is constantly driving, almost disregarding his own safety and the child with him. If players get in front of him, the man will ram through their car, not out of malicious intent, but because he seems to disregard You entirely when driving. He also is at great risk of crashing his car across the map, as he barely slows down (if at all) to maneuver through the more urban regions of the land.

Story
The Old Man is the husband of the Babushka, evident when she shows You a picture of herself with him, featuring him in the same clothes as when he's driving his car. The child with him is possibly their grandchild, which would explain his insane desperation to escape the Pursuers, as he has not only someone with him, but someone important to him.

Trivia

 * The Old Man is a truly reckless (and rather awful) driver. Though he does not hunt players like the Pursuers, he also does not slow down when players are in front of him, and may keep driving through their car. Depending on where he hits their car, he may instantly kill players.
 * It is possible to stop him almost entirely, by way of getting in front of his car and absorbing the impact in a way that doesn't kill players.
 * Judging from his outfit he likely used to work at the power plant
