The 'Master' can't be Peter Hale, coz how did a bunch of 24-somethings murder him? I do believe Mr Harris is a psychotic old so-and-so who believes that the teaching profession over the years has 'killed' him inside. Maybe the class of 24-year olds were his first class ever, and he plans to eventually 'work' down the seniority ;list to the current crop.

Only one flaw in that theory: the Kanima is known to be a tool of vengeance used to target murderers. Now 'killing' may be variously interpreted, but I do think that murder has a pretty straightforward definition.

Of coure, the legend goes that eventually, as the master's bond with the Kanima grows, anybody can be targeted on the master's whim. Even assuming that Isaac's dad was a murderer, I don't think killing just one man would strengthen the bond suitably that the master can peddle his own warped and loosely interpreted definition of 'killing' and simply 'shoo' the kanima at a target like he were an ill-tempered mastiff
