Oliver

“I’d like to tell you something.” Oliver paced. “You want you know what it is?”

The prisoner stayed silent, seemingly maintaining a solid defense against Oliver’s interrogation sessions.

That defense will be easily broken.

You see, Oliver was one of the few men in this world who could make the minds of the most mentally intact people crumble in fear.

Twenty years ago, Oliver Franklin Graave was admitted into Ramsey Asylum at the age of 16 for sociopathic behaviors and for killing both of of his parents.

He was a charming boy, even in his mentally deteriorated state. Oliver was also very smart. He always had the highest grades in his class, and he worked very well with his tutor while imprisoned in the asylum.

After 5 years of imprisonment, Oliver was let off for good behavior and was sent out into the real world…but not for long.

He lived alone in a broken down apartment for 6 years, slowly melting down into nothing more than a broken psychopath.

A year later, Oliver applied for a job at the Asylum.
