Brian Holland /-/ Hook

"Even Hell can't save me now."
Appearance: Brian Holland is a lean-muscled man, with graying hair and a maniacal smile. His eyes are always open at unnaturally wide proportions which he believes helps instill fear into his patients. He has light blue eyes and self-sharpened teeth. He is commonly seen wearing a WWII combat medic uniform with the Combat Medical Badge on his left, located where a breast pocket would be on a normal shirt. There's an orange bandanna around his neck with a red diamond symbol in the middle, serving as both a temporary mask and an accessory. Brian may also be seen with a fake eye-patch, bearing the same symbol on his bandanna, or a pair of reading glasses whenever he is required for delicate surgeries. The eye-patch covers his weaker, non-dominant eye in favor of his stronger, dominant eye. He wears heavy-duty, steel-toed boots as a precaution in case someone tries to attack him while under his home brew anesthesia. He wears a simple black long-sleeve shirt with beige cargo pants whenever he is not in uniform. He looks wide when facing him fully, but it's probably his ego that's keeping his uniform as big as itself.

Personality:

Main Story: The name "Hook" comes from the false-doctor's favoured method of self-defense. Or his favourite way to punish his subjects/patients. Darla Queen is the only nurse who accidentally discovered his personal files, learning his true name and what he did in the past to get to his current position. Hook catches her in the act of shoving away files before interrogating her. He abuses her into silence and compliance, not wanting another run in with Warden that has almost lead to his demise.

Hook works in the second and first floors of the laboratory, ensuring that his subjects are capable of reproducing after him meddling with their genetics and inner biology with invasive surgery. Syrus is one of his prized subjects, one of the only humans capable of withstanding his toxic serum that greatly enhances mutations and blood cell/skin regeneration after injury. He is fond of how little Syrus complains whenever his routine 'surgery' comes up- delighted with how he managed to force a human body to gain four extra joints to create haunting limbs and with how little feeling the subject has around the corresponding joints. But Hook does not want to kill Syrus because of the younger man's similarity with Hook's daughter.

Backstory: After retiring from the US Army at 42, Brian found another way to sate his cruel interest in human bodies and the ways to destroy it when a billionaire contacted him about a personal project. Advancing humankind. Brian was only allowed to address the man as 'Warden' or 'The Warden' until he wanted to leave the position he was granted.
