PHEN-228

Personality: What little we see of his actions, PHEN-228 is a malicious, callous, and ruthless but highly intelligent entity that actively targets those who come across his path. More specifically, he seems to target the family of Job Zamperini, who was a POW in World War 2. While he doesn't seem to target people who look at him in person as seen with Zamperini's grandson, PHEN-228 has shown himself to stalk him especially when seeing him through his window. Due to his speech in one of the hijacked broadcasts, it's likely he knows what he is doing and is intentionally causing people to suffer from paralysis. Moreover, If you stare at him directly for a prolonged period of time, you will go in an immediate state of paralysis or even death yet in rare cases you can survive depending how severe the illness might be. It has reportedly occurred that over 1,200 people have suffered severe photosensory injures and have went into an immediate state of paralysis which causes a ventral pontine stroke just by staring directly at PHEN-228, however most of these reported cases and the reason from what causes this is currently unknown.

Facts about him: The sadistic spirit of Mutsuhiro Watanabe, a Japanese war criminal during World War II who passed away decades later, he would be reborn in death as a demonic entity that renders anyone who looks at him into a state of Locked-in syndrome. The Boiled One is a tall and lanky entity with crimson skin. He has a misshapen head with a gouging mouth with many visible teeth, and large human-like eyes. On his head are multiple wiry hair-like appendages jutting out in straight lines. He appears to wear a black cloak which covers the rest of his body, which has similar spiky appendages as the ones on his head. Several shots in the video also show that he has at least one arm with multiple joints and a giant pulsating orifice on his chest.

Biography: Little is given on who or what PHEN-228 is other than what he says in his speeches and what is told by the projection. However, as shown by tiny details through the video and confirmed by the creator themselves, The Boiled One is the spirit of Mustuhiro “The Bird” Watanabe, an infamous Japanese soldier in World War II and runner of a POW camp infamous for his inhumane treatment of others, including Louis “Job” Zamperini, and got away without any punishment as he passed away as an insurance salesmen, presumably becoming PHEN-228.

In August 2003. PHEN-228 hijacks a broadcast of a nature documentary in Pennsylvania. He appeared in the broadcast and began speaking to the viewer, declaring that they will always watch them and that they will be unable to move one day and all they will see is him, watching them. Despite The Ephrata Branch managing to cut and destroy any evidence, almost hundreds of people began to experience the Boiled One’s appearance in their minds, taunting and tormenting them, with one man saying they’re feeding on his spinal fluid. Eventually, all the witnesses to PHEN-228 are left with Pseudocoma, or Locked in Syndrome, leaving them unable to move their body apart from their eyes.

One of these victims, “Job” Zamperini, told about PHEN-228 stalking his family, with a family member taking a photograph of PHEN-228 next to a small playhouse in his backyard. The officers interview Zamperini, who expresses that he can hear sounds of hundreds of people screaming. During the interview, PHEN-228 interrupts the broadcast, trumpets playing the background, and cryptically speaks about the end times coming, before the broadcast is cut and the video ends with the Ephrata Branch informing the user to follow the guidelines at the beginning of the video and to turn off the TV.
