Baylor Hotner was an actor known for his role as a were-turtle in the Dusk movies.

Physical appearance[]

Baylor is a very muscular, ethnically ambiguous teenage male. He has a chiseled chin and has abs on his back which Daphne Blake called "babs". He typically wears a blue button-down shirt with a white blazer, as well as red and blue-striped pants and white shoes.

Personality[]

He appears to be a very charming and considerate man, but he's actually an unhealthy narcissist, extremely obsessed with becoming a world-famous actor and is willing to go through extreme lengths to get it. He's rather manipulative, as he used Daphne to further his career and didn't seem to really care about her at all.

History[]

Early life[]

He dated Daphne after she broke off her engagement to Fred. They met when he came to Crystal Cove to conduct research for his latest film, Dusk 4: Still Dusk.[1]

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated[]

Season two[]

During his date with Daphne at the Bloody Stake restaurant, he told her that he would be going to Africa within a month to promote his "Green Jeans" clothing, and that he would like her to come along. As they were leaving, Fred tried to get Daphne back with the gang, as she was the last to re-join, but she mistook him for a hobo due to his new appearance and got Baylor to give Fred his own brand of protein candy bar as a handout.[1]

Baylor Hotner unmasked

Baylor unmasked.

Hotner was shopping with Daphne while the gang were investigating the Crybaby Clown attack on the Crystal Cove Hair Salon. He was vaguely talking up the possibility of her going to Hollywood when Fred interrupted them. Hotner suggested that Daphne should get the outfit she typically wears in every color of purple, upstaging Fred's attempt to get her attention. When the tracking signal Velma and Marcie recovered led the gang to Daphne and Crybaby Clown attacked them, Hotner quickly appeared and proclaimed he found her through his love for her. Before departing, he announced that Daphne was going to Hollywood with him and he would make her a star. Later that night when the gang captured Crybaby Clown and rescued his kidnapped victims, including Daphne, Hotner was unmasked as the perpetrator. He explained that he was conducting research to perfect his role in an upcoming movie and was kidnapping the perfect entourage, which prompted Daphne to slap his face in anger because he ended up using her, just like he did with the rest of his victims, which causes her to be friends with the Mystery Incorporated Gang, including Fred Jones.[2] He was taken away by the Sheriff.

Hotner was in the prison cafeteria when Krampus kidnapped Mary Anne Gleardan.[3]

Post-Nibiru[]

When the Evil Entity was destroyed, it altered all of reality for Crystal Cove; thus the Crybaby Clown wasn't a disguise in the past.[4]

Notes/trivia[]

  • Baylor is a parody of Taylor Lautner, as does his role as a were-turtle in the Dusk movies which parallels Lautner's role as Jacob Black, a werewolf in the Twilight movies.
  • Baylor's voice actor, Matt Lanter, portrays Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. His alter-ego as the Crybaby Clown is voiced by Mark Hamill, best known for his role as Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker, in the original live-action trilogy film series.
  • In Pawn of Shadows, it is revealed that Daphne is a huge fan of the Dusk books. This raises the possibility that Hotner's relationship with Daphne may not have been happenstance but the result of him targeting her because of the ease that she could manipulated through her superfan status (and recent breakup). This could account for her willingness to believe obviously outlandish things, such as his assertion that she was a common small-town girl despite her upbringing in extreme wealth.
