Appearance Emil is a tall, well-built man with pale skin, messy, tangled black hair nearly obscuring his slightly squinting, dull deep green eyes, grey eyelids obscuring the bottom half of his eyes, and black eyebrows furrowed in a worried expression. Streaks of grime are visible under his eyes and on his limbs, and small cuts are also visible on his body. His mouth is pulled into an uneasy, halfhearted smile.

He wears an untied white straitjacket with leather straps, a large, grimy metal collar with steel buckles and screws, a small, rusty, iron wire ring on his left middle finger, and is barefoot. Grimy, white linen bandages wrap around his head and hands. Tears are visible in his left forearm, right shoulder, and both legs, showing cotton stuffing. On his arms are two leather gauntlets with sharp, metal grappling hooks attached to some rope.

Character Introduction No one knows Emil's past. When they looked at him, most people just saw a poor tramp living in the street. A high fever robbed him of most of his memories, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself in an insane asylum. Emil endured much suffering there, but he remained obedient. Through injections, restraints, and electric shock therapy... he was always the most silent among all the asylum's patients.

In the asylum, the amnesiac Emil appeared more taciturn and calm than others. He then met Ada, who entered the asylum to practice medicine. She soon decided to take him away, gradually helping him recover some of his normal emotional reactions and actions. But he would still often recall his days in the asylum—those vague memories of being imprisoned, bound, and unable to move. Dust flew through the stifling air, and countless faces cheered wildly all around him. Since then, whenever he was strapped to a chair or hospital bed, he became anxious and instinctively panicked.

Emil could not remember his identity.

Backstory

Emil was born the 'runt' of four children to a dysfunctional family. His mother struggled with her mental health, resulting in her breaking the dishes and having to be tied to a bed in the middle of her episodes. The family was too poor to take care of their children, so they gave Emil up to a man who owned an underground dog-fighting ring. He often berated Emil for not bringing home enough money from begging to keep them afloat, simultaneously neglecting his needs.

One day Emil curiously snuck until to the fighting pit while a match was underway. The dogs turned on Emil, bringing him to the brink of death. This would be the start of Emil's trauma and his lifelong fear of dogs. However, seeing as the audience were excited by a human being being used as a bait for dogs... Emil's foster was then inspired to use Emil for Human-Baiting.

From that point onward, Emil was raised like a Bait Dog. He was fitted with a collar, confined to a Kennel(Presumably with the other dogs) and shackled to the inside; only being fed some sort of unknown mushy substance(Possibly dog food or potentially remains of deceased dogs). As a result, Emil became more animalistic and unstable. A guard of the dog fighting ring would eventually be badly wounded by Emil, and Emil is then described as having red eyes(Irritated or blood shot) and a body covered with dog fighting scars.

Eventually, Emil either escaped or was abandoned by his foster; and was found on White Sand Street with a high fever and Amnesia. Emil's memory ranged from unreliable to non-existent. He was then admitted to the White Sand Street Asylum, with his records stating that he suffered from amnesia, manic fits and severe aggressive tendencies. The dog-fighting pit's emblem sewn onto a strip of fabric he had held onto(torn from his own Dog Fighting collar) was the only clue Emil had of his past.

Having been raised as a fighting dog and having been devoid of human contact for many years.. Emil was determined Feral and extremely unstable. He was then admitted to one of the 'cages'— solitary confinement chambers reserved for patients with dangerous conditions; to prevent him from hurting himself or others. Emil was also force-fed a dangerous amount of sedatives in either pill or liquid form, causing serious damage to his nervous system. This sedated Emil and made it physically impossible for Emil to resist the Asylums tests and treatments. As a result of this(and potentially also his truama), Emil stopped reacting normally(lack of consciousness/awareness) and became dependant on painful stimuli to regain consciousness[12]. He was then subjected to regular electroshock therapy treatments as an extreme method of Pain Stimulus to force him into an awake state.
