My name is Oswald Mandus. I am many things. An architect, a businessman, a tinkerer. I am several things, and I admit 'monster' could be one of them. But I am also something far worse than a monster.

But what, you may ask yourself, is worse than being a monster? Well, I'll tell you. It's quite simple, really.

What's worse than being a monster, is being the secret-keeper to a greater monster.
