You found a shipping crate from the Bodega Bay Inn, but it's burnt and in flames. You then found Torch. (The source of the burnt shipping crate) Who was staring up at you? He didn’t say anything or move as he watched you. It was clear he had a bit of a staring problem.

Don't let his toy-like puppet size fool you. Torch is the aggressive executioner of Andre Toulon's puppets, symbolized by the flamethrower that replaces his right hand.

He's no foe, but he's not friendly at all.
