Baltus Van Tassel
for Baltus Van Tassel in The Headless Horseman : The Curse of Sleepy Hollow
Suggested by jeanpaulvalley

Nowadays, a series of very unusual murders takes place in Sleepy Hollow, a small town far away in the United States. A young inspector from New York, Icabod Crane, is sent there to shed some light. There he will meet very special people, but also Gloria Salah, sent by another organization who understood that the person responsible for these numerous beheadings is not a normal being. Indeed, very quickly, our improvised duo will find themselves confronted with a practically unstoppable being : the Headless Horseman ! However, they will also understand that the real instigator of all this is indeed human, controlling the Horseman by magic thanks to his lost skull, in order to spread a very particular vision of justice. Not even an army could stop this Horseman by force, but he's also a more thoughtful being than he appears and perhaps he could help them arrest the real culprit, before all heads from Sleepy Hollow be cut !
