Parker Flanagan was born May 31st, 1968 to Charlie Flanagan. He’s the oldest brother of two half brothers who are the children of his stepmother of Kimberly Flanagan (nee Hoover). Growing up with a love for cooking, Parker began making meals for his family to try and eventually volunteered for Hawkins’ Meals on Wheels were he made dinner and lunches for those who couldn’t make their own. While working, this is where he formed a bond with classmate Nancy Wheeler and eventually developed a crush on her.
Being best friends with Jeff, he joined Hellfire Club and eventually helped out with Corroded Coffin booking gigs. He officially, unofficially, became another member to the band. When upper classmate Rylee Prescott began sitting in on Hellfire’s Campaigns, Parker took an instant liking to her and accepted the girl as one of their own despite having been a cheerleader. Parker was also the first of the boys to recognize that their Dungeons Master, Eddie Munson was helplessly and pathetically in love with Rylee.
In March of 1986 when Eddie is accused of being a murderer and Hellfire a cult, Parker joins fellow member Dustin Henderson in clearing his best friend’s name which has him stumbling upon an even darker adventure than he originally intended. Using his wits and unique set of skills, Parker joins the Party in saving his friends from the town’s hysterics, Jason Carver’s quest for revenge, and the Dark Wizard known as Vecna.
