Ike Watson's Gang
Played by: Alex Morrison
First appeared in: 302: The Huggening
A small gang of young troublemakers in New Salem, Massachusetts, who do not like outsiders. Grant Jameson warns the investigators about its leader in 301: No Rest for the Wicked, and Mayor Jedediah Marsh calls him "a bit of a rambunctious youngster."
Members
Ike Watson
The leader, a wiry blonde man in his early twenties. In 302: The Huggening he is loitering on the porch of Harvey's General Store when the investigators arrive, and he tells the "out of towners" to get back in their truck and keep moving. Told to keep his shirt on, he takes it off. When Tallahassee Turner hugs Levi, Ike comes to his friend's aid, shoves Major Bakersfield into the porch railing and is about to swing when Mayor Jedediah Marsh orders him away. He spits, promises "we'll see you guys later," and later trails Tallahassee through the backyards of town with Levi.
Levi
Ike's companion, a young man with long brown hair, short in the front and long in the back. In 302: The Huggening Tallahassee mistakes him for his old ward Rondo Corto and traps him in a hug that he cannot escape, no matter how hard he tries to shove him off. He insists he has never met Tallahassee, protests "Name is not Rondo," and appeals to the Mayor before leaving with Ike.
In 303: The Grand Slam Ezra Denny tells the investigators that Ike is a psychopath, crazy enough to stab someone in the back "twice over and three times on Sunday."
In 304: Pet, Cemetery the investigators suspect Ike of hanging a dead cat inside their truck.
In 306: Cellar Door Tallahassee Turner suggests going to find Ike and slap him around a little, partly so that the gang will stop leaving dead cats in the truck.
In 309: Boom Goes the Dynamite the investigators look for Ike in the town square, but he is nowhere to be seen.
In 310: Salem's Lot the dying Jacob Alister says that Ike Watson shot him and took Delilah and her son toward the shacks on the east side of town.
In 312: Edge of Sharkness Billy McConnell and Ezra Denny find Ike holding Delilah Bevins and Zachary captive amid occult symbols, raving about Carcosa. Levi ambushes them from a closet, and Ezra shoots him dead. Ike is wounded, hog-tied and taken prisoner.
In 313: The Arrival the captive Ike is brought into Denny's as the creatures close in on the building.
In 314: The Siege the captive Ike is dragged toward the stairs of the burning tavern by Billy McConnell and Dr. Simeon, who call him a sacrifice for the dead light.
In 315: Legends Never Die Billy McConnell drops the captive Ike at the foot of the stairs when panic overtakes him.
