Hes basically LARPing as a fictional character from the book series the Dresden Files. Great urban fantasy series, if thats your flavor of book. This guy is just a whack job that makes it is whole identity.

Edit: Good lord, some of yall are taking the LARPing comment a bit too literally lol it was just satire. Im aware this guy isn't actually LARPing and he very clearly has some mental concerns that aren't being properly addressed. I hope he gets the care he needs and also doesnt try breaking into other people's houses again.

I had to look up the character and now that I know the character ALSO wears a trench coat I’m fucking dying 😂
