He is a serial killer who killed Patrick Jane's wife and daughter. Before Jane started working for the CBI, he was a fake psychic, and he publicly insulted Red John (this was before he had any connection to him and before his family was killed). then Red John killed his family for revenge, saying he didn't like being slandered in the media. His signature is that he kills females, cuts them up, and watches them die slowly, then paints a smiley face on the wall with their blood. they still haven't caught him.
