He’s been through some tough times, and talks to himself, usually to complain about someone else behind their backs. He doesn’t care about the supernaturals much, he may stop excessive punishment or an execution to, as in his words “Make sure the bloody idiots don’t break the merchandise” But he is aware that death is necessary in some cases- To make an omelet, you gotta break a few eggs. History: Joseph was a scientific genius even as a child, he already knew all of the human organs and their functions. He would catch frogs, but unlike other children, instead of setting them free, he would take a knife to dissect them to find out what exactly made them tick. At age 13, FEMA paid him a visit when a panicked neighbor called the authorities after she found out he was using enriched uranium to make a nuclear generator in his backyard, and to Joseph's dismay, they dismantled his perfectly working generator and took away his uranium. At age 18, he already had diplomas in biology, nuclear physics, chemistry, psychology, and the list went on. An extremely talented individual everyone said- but never to his face. He was somewhat of a recluse because his high intelligence made everyone around him…. uncomfortable. His job as a military scientist didn’t help much either, he was in a lab almost 24/7. And the lack of human presence made him more rational than caring. Despite having little social contact, But he found someone to love, and eventually marry. but his social awkwardness became worse after his wife of two years died in an arson by a simple street thug. After that, it seemed he didn’t really care much where his life went. He surprised government recruiters for Fallen Shadows, who had wanted him to take to job of head scientist which Konrad had rejected before several times, he actually called them to ask them if the job was still available. He grew cold and humorless, as living in Fallen Shadows had taken it’s toll- Having to process and perform many experiments, many that required opening up subjects, mutating them beyond human recognition, or executing rebellious supernaturals with nerve gas, Konrad has become desensitized to what he has been doing for three years. He finds the job boring and menial, and the only joy he gets out of it is the excitement for the potential for the next greatest scientific discovery, which is the only thing that keeps him from just simply killing himself. Each day is just like the other to him, and he grows tired of arguing with incompetent staff about every single detail... How long they have been working at Fallen Shadows: About 3 years now. Position: Head Scientist-Supervises all projects, gets to chose what experiments to conduct each day. Scars: Tattoos: None. Piercings: None. Extra: He’s back, and he may take the mantle of the director- You better keep those kneecaps protected, yah? Just kidding. Or am I?[/center]
