Tate Langdon is a ghost doomed to live an eternity of teen angst. At first glance, he is the love-child of Kurt Cobain and Norman Bates, taking much of his style from the former after having been a huge Nirvana fan while growing up. He has messy blond hair, brown eyes, and dresses in a grunge fashion typical of people his age during the 90s. He is a tortured soul who is sweet and well-meaning at heart, longing for love and acceptance more than anything else in the world. However, his dark past and his presence in a house of pure evil has made finding such a thing quite difficult.

Tate's Story
In 1977, after each of the previous three children born were burdened with some sort of disorder, disability, or abnormality, the first otherwise normal Langdon child was born. Child of Hugo and Constance Langdon, Tate was an average child with great potential. He was always a good boy who got along great with his siblings—especially Adelaide, who was born with Down's Syndrome—and was respectful to everyone. However, it would only be a matter of time before everything changed.

Tate never found out what happened to his father. After Constance shot the man when she saw him trying to engage in sexual intercourse with the maid, she claimed that he ran away when her children asked about it. Tate was only 6. From then on, what attention Constance gave him was hostile, and it seemed less and less like she truly cared about him. Being such a young child, Tate struggled with the neglect. Upon moving into the house now known as "Murder House", he tried to find refugee throughout the place, unaware of the dark and evil forces lurking there, waiting to get inside the head of someone as vulnerable ad him. It was here, at age 7, that he nearly died right under her nose when a monster in the basement attacked him. Fortunately, he was rescued by the spirit of Nora Montgomery, the original owner of the house, who took him under his wing whenever she could get the chance from that point on.

Tate struggled immensely as he grew up, and the continuous neglect and abuse didn't help with that at all. What Nora could manage to do was helpful, but it was impossible for it to be enough. As his mother began to date a man he saw as a dirt bag, Tate began to realize that the duo were, for sure, up to no good. Constance eventually convinced her boyfriend, Larry, to kill both of Tate's brothers for unknown reasons. When Tate found out, he finally cracked, and the evil forces inside the house were able to take control of him. He followed Larry to work one day and, upon entering his office, he doused the man in gasoline and set him on fire, nearly killing him. He then went to his school armed with a shotgun, where he blasted numerous students to death. Later that day, the police showed up in the boy's home and, in a moment where Tate seemed to be reaching for his gun, they fired at his chest multiple times. Tate died in his room at age 17.

Having died in the Murder House, Tate's ghost now lurks around, tormented by what had happened in life, yet with no recollection of his crimes as a result of being possessed. However, his actions didn't seem to improve much as he did everything he could to receive motherly love from Nora, who seemed to spiral into a worsening sadness due to her longing for a baby child (as her original was taken from her and killed). It still isn't true that Tate is the same person he was, however. With time to think and initiate a longing of his own, the teen ghost has developed a sweetness like no other. Tate has become extremely loyal and is willing to do anything to protect someone he loves. Although his psychotic nature is still present, it has diminished greatly, and he holds the power to make better judgments. All in all, he just wants to be loved, and anyone who loves him could never be sorry.

With these changes, however, perhaps due to a permanent existence in the mindset of a teenager, Tate seemed to have developed fetishes in addition to his sex life. After a troubled couple living in the house brought in a strange, latex suit, Tate seemed to develop a sort of bondage kink when he began to wear it, especially after the couple (supposedly) killed each other. He rarely would have sex without it, for unknown reasons. In addition, after hearing about the fetish and experiencing a growing interest to try it when he realized it was possible for him, Tate has embraced vore as another kink. Multiple people have fallen victim to the fetish, as Tate has found ways to shrink people and swallow them whole and alive. Since the house keeps his spirit almost as real as a regular human, his organs are still inside him, including those in his digestive system. After a lot of practice, he has also learned how to expand his jaws enough to take in someone at full size. He can also control whether or not he digests someone he has devoured, though he has a reputation for not releasing those who become his "prey".
