Background

His family dated back to the very first day of American Independence. Some records even suggest that his lineage goes even further back all the way to the Iron age, maybe even further, yet it has never been confirmed. His ancestors had ventured all over the world, becoming the first pioneers in travelling across the ocean. Due to this, they have been able to mark and discover various different lands across the globe and acquire a godly amount of wealth.

On another interesting note, his ancestors had also made contact with the tribal people of what was later known as America, indicating that they had not actually indicated from the New World. Diving much deeper into this fascinating history, his ancestry had encountered a near extinction of some sort during the late Middle Ages and yet still managed to survive out of the impossible odds. This was one of the first pieces of evidence we had found of his lineage, yet it has never been authenticated.

Before the American Independence, some records had stated that his family had practised into some sort of dark arts that allowed them immense wisdom and knowledge of the universe. Yet all of this is a speculation at best. The earliest authentic records we have of his lineage dated back to a diary from a few months after the American Independence.

However, when discovered, it was written in ancient Akkadian which was very unusual due to the fact that the Akkadian language had died in the mid-1st millennium and had begun during the 3rd millennium. This would then indicate that his ancestors must have lived much further before the iron age and into the bronze age. This also makes it much harder to pinpoint exact authentic evidence of how long his lineage dates back to but based on this diary and the language we have speculated that his lineage dates back to at least the 3rd millennium during the Mesopotamian civilization.

After the independence, his ancestors had dedicated their lives into the pursuit of science and technology becoming vital parts of what is now known as modern science. During the late 1800s, they had also become the very first people who founded a social science known as psychology. With joining and helping Wilhelm Wundt, they had become the first ever people to conduct a "psychology" experiment in a laboratory. Ever since then, his family has branched into multiple different types of social sciences yet have dominated psychology the most.

During the mid-1900s, they had aided in the Great Wars, helping with the invention of the atomic bomb as well as funding the Manhattan Project. During the majority of the big wars that America had been associated with, they had a profound impact and influence over the decisions that were implemented and have been operating behind the scenes for a long time. Most notably, they had aided in the Korean War and were the sole funding contributor in said events.

Over time, they have built an otherworldly influence and continue to have connections and ownership over many powerful people. Even with their true beginning being nothing more than a foggy memory, their stamp after the American Independence has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Childhood

Before his tragic experiences, he had lived a rather normal life. Being from a rich family did not stop him from extending his hand to help others. He had become a very social person as a child as any parent would hope to and made a large number of friends.

During the time he was around five, he had always been fascinated by science and his mother's works. Through his love for her and excitement of science, he had decided to become a scientist when he grew up. His mother, of course, supported his decision and ensured that he got everything he needed. Even though his father was not in his life, he never felt as if anything was missing.

In contrast, he was satisfied with what he had. All he wanted was to enjoy his life by spending time with his mother and friends and focusing on his future. His mother knew that he was talented as he would exceed expectations in school and was labelled as a prodigy quite quickly. Thrilled by this, he continued to pave his path to success, not worrying about what life had to offer.

Late Teens

After completing his mission of assassinating all the notable figureheads that his father had alliances with, he had continued his education finishing high school with extraordinary grades. During his college years, he excelled further than anyone in his class. He had dived much deeper into psychology, trying to grasp every known branch of psychology that had been discovered. 

With one goal in his mind, and that was learning everything about psychology down to the last-minute detail, he strived forward, drowning himself into his sole goal. During this time, he had cut off contact with the outside world and any known relatives only ever leaving for his classes. Albert had continued to stay by his side, aiding him with whatever he needed, hoping that one day he would be able to break out of his isolation.

Early 20s

After completing college, he had started his own psychology industry skyrocketing to the number one psychologist in the entire world. Yet, he did not stop as he continued to dive more and more into his work, hoping to find a ground-breaking discovery that would change the world drastically. 

His industry had spread all across America, whilst multiple branches and businesses were all under his name. As he continued to grow, his wealth also increased. Over a short few years, he had accumulated over two hundred billion dollars, becoming the wealthiest person in his lineage and even in the world. Yet, after all this, no one knew about any of this. Not his wealth nor his face as he kept his identity a secret. 

Going under the name The Scientist, he continued to discover and advance his empire that he had built in the name of his two shining stars. His mother and his lover. Keeping them close in his dark heart, he strived to keep their memories intact as he continued to grow more powerful. The Scientist became a worldwide figure and the greatest psychologist in the world.

Further information

The scientist has a profound likeness towards children. Being someone who has suffered traumatic experiences as a child himself and never truly being able to live a proper childhood, he has developed a much deeper care with children. Out of his care for them, he had started multiple charities solely for them as well as having built over two hundred orphanages around America. 

He enjoys eating chocolate cake as well as chicken steak. Having a sweet tooth, he dives a lot into the savoury aspect of eating being business partners with the biggest doughnuts, chocolate, and ice cream companies in the world. In his free time, when he isn't working, all he does is sleep and read books. Being a heavy sleeper, he enjoys most of his free time lying in bed away from any noise or work.

Dear Annabeth,

Happy birthday. You have turned twenty-five now. Time really shoots forward without stop, doesn't it? One second, you're twenty-four the next you have grown a whole year. But that is how life works. We grow and move forward through the years. Our previous year became another memory ingrained into our minds. By the time you are reading this, you shall have awakened from your coma.

After your unexpected dream sequence, I found you lying in your own pool of vomit. Mere seconds before, you were squirming and screaming in immense pain. As I looked back at the recording from the time you had fallen asleep to by the time you had woken up, I had not seen a single soul enter the control room and emit any of the sleeping gas into your residence. I also accounted for the possibility of any leakage in the pipes, but that was not the case.

The mystery behind your dream remains unknown, yet I am continuing to work to the best of my abilities to uncover it. I just hope you wake up soon.

Life has become... dull again without your existence.

I would hope that we could go back to the days when we would discuss each other's specialties and the friendliness that we had spoken to each other with. So far, all the signs of you waking up are minimal. During your coma, you sometimes scream out random words as your arms flail like a madman. Other times, your eyes open, but you do not wake up, and then they immediately shut afterwards.

This disease that you have been affected with is unlike any other. Usual comas have indefinitely paralysed the patient so that they could not move, let alone speak. But with your case, you have been able to do both. Whatever you may have seen in that dream is most likely the answer to this. I just hope that you could wake up soon and tell me about it.

I am writing this letter to you, and I shall have it placed on your desk for the moment you awake. I hope you shall read over this without any hatred for me, though that would most likely be impossible given the situation you are in.

Or perhaps I shall deliver this to you after everything has passed. I guess only time shall tell. For now, I shall continue to aid you and stay by your side. Not because you are my subject, and I need you for this experiment to continue, but as a well-wisher. Your friend. All I want is for you to awake again.

Please wake up, Annabeth. Come back to me. I shall continue to write to you until you awake, and I shall place the letters on your desk for you to read in the future. I once again wish you a happy birthday.

Goodbye.

10th August

After everything that has happened, I have gathered an incredible amount of information through this experiment. For the first phase, I had planned on using the dream sequences to instil fear and pain onto my subjects, and it has worked incredibly well. Even now, they remain on high alert, cautious of what could happen next. The concept of fear is remarkably interesting. The way it morphs and alters, blending into other emotions is rather unique. I have never come across anything as sly yet powerful as fear.

However, for my next phase, I have decided to refrain from using any dream sequences. What I shall be doing instead is using a more...intimate approach. I can not disclose anything yet as I am still in the planning phase, but I am sticking firm to the decision of not using any more mental acts of playing with my subject.

For this next phase, I shall become more physical. Something I want to talk about is that Harold and Jolynn have started to act much more differently. I do not know what it is, but their mannerisms have changed from before. There is this weird hope that surrounds them.

Jolynn has sworn her mind and body to me, yet for some odd reason, I do not feel as if I have control over her. Not as much I would hope, too, at least. Harold has also become more animated yet also much more secluded. During their time of sleeping, their faces contort and change as if they are conversing in a way. It has become very peculiar, to say the least, as I have no idea what the cause behind this is.

For some reason, I have a feeling that they are a part of this. Perhaps I may have breached a clause in our contract, yet not confiding with me is something unlikely from them. So, it must be something else. Something is brewing. Something weird. I have no idea what it is, but I must continue with accurate caution.

This last month or so has been quite a ride. I have learnt a lot and found a lot. I am proud of myself for choosing the perfect subjects for such a thing. All the previous people that I have placed into this facility have proven to be a failure. Some have been too weak, and others have died instantly.

Alas, that is how progress is made. We have failures and use those failures to succeed. But these three are unlike any other. They are fascinating, intriguing, and highly intelligent. All three of them have various strengths that make them amazing to use. Their weaknesses allow me to break them, but not to the point they are incapacitated. I shall continue to write more later.

I must finish my planning for the next phase. I pray that everything goes smoothly and that we all shall be able to move into a new world. With a new science at our disposal. Hurray to mankind!

Godspeed!
