*Warning: spoilers for Stranger Things 4: Volume 1*<\/strong><\/p>\n The writers behind Stranger Things<\/a> have cleared up a point of confusion around the real name of terrifying villain Vecna<\/a>, who stalked the small town of Hawkins, Indiana throughout the show\u2019s fourth season.<\/p>\n The hideous creature\u2019s identity is a mystery to begin with, but over the course of the first volume we learn that he is none other than Henry Creel (Jamie Campbell Bower<\/a>), son of wrongfully convicted murderer Victor and first test subject of Dr Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine).<\/p>\n However, some fans had speculated that a further twist could be on the way, observing that when Bower\u2019s casting was initially announced in the press, his character was referred to as Peter Ballard.<\/p> Getting wind of this conversation, the Stranger Things writers took to Twitter to clarify that Peter Ballard was merely a pseudonym used to keep the plot of season 4 under wraps and that it has no relevance to the plot of Volume 2 or beyond.<\/p>\n Their tweet, embedded below, reads: \u201cPeter Ballard was a fake name for casting. His name is Henry Creel and you should not call him Peter. You can, but it\u2019s weird.\u201d<\/p>\n PSA #1: \u201cEnzo\u2019s\u201d name is actually Dmitri but it\u2019s okay if you want to call him Enzo.
