The Servant Girl Annihilator, also known as The Austin Axe Murderer, is a still-unidentified ephebophilic and hebephilic serial killer and serial abuser who was active in Austin, Texas from December 1884 to December 1885. As the killings stopped three years before the murders committed by Jack the Ripper, the police did not understand at the time that they were dealing with a serial killer, and he wasn't identified as such until the 20th century. The "Annihilator" is a legendary immortal figure said to have emerged in the 1800s. Represented by a skull with glowing orange eyes, clad all in black, the Annihilator's elusive nature and brutal killings have turned him into a notorious symbol of terror and destruction.
