Backstory: Richard Trager became an employee for the transnational Murkoff Corporation when he was in his early twenties after going to business school. He originally planned on becoming a doctor, but his father convinced him that “doctors were on the wrong side of litigation.” He eventually rose in power and became a powerful, prominent executive for the company. In the late 2000s, Richard was stationed at Mount Massive Asylum, an Asylum Murkoff Corporation owns for the criminally insane, to monitor “Project Walrider”. Project Walrider is an illegal human experimentation program, directed by Dr. Rudolf Wernicke which uses intense trauma and “Morphogenic Engine Therapy” to fuse people with The Walrider, a telekinetic swarm of nanites made by Murkoff. His mother is Italian while his father is American, but Richard will use slurs for Italians purely because he thinks it’s funny. His family is misogynistic and similarly cares about money. When David Annapurna tried to expose Murkoff, Richard had him put into the Walrider project where he was experimented on until death.

Story: In 2012, Murkoff Litigation Officers Pauline Glick and Paul Marion come to the asylum to investigate an anonymous complaint about workplace safety conditions. They question Trager, but Trager dismisses their questions and changes the topic before shamelessly flirting with Pauline. Neither Pauline nor Paul like him, but Pauline decides to play into his attraction and ask him out on a date so that she can get more information from him. The whole date, Richard only talks about himself. He invited her home with the intention of drugging her. She comes to his house, beats him up, forces him to drink her drink which knocks him out, and searches through his things. After finding out he drugged one of his employees and got her pregnant, she and Paul have a meeting with the victim, Michelle, hours later. Trager barges into the meeting, and in a fit of rage, stabs Michelle with scissors. While restraining him, Pauline puts his hair into a paper shredder which scalps him. Richard is then put into the Morphogenic engine for what he did. In 2013 after going crazy and escaping during The Asylum Riots, he goes on a killing spree where he becomes convinced that he’s a doctor. He experiments on other patients to further his understanding of biology, and becomes obsessed with money. He tries to kill an investigative journalist, Miles Upshur, but Miles escapes and kills Richard Trager.

Example quote: "Hey, you're that little shit's priest guy aren't you? sigh His witness or whatever, you must be exhausted. Let's take a break, huh buddy? The old two martini lunch, have a little confab...Heavier than you look. A little cardio wouldn't kill ya. Okay, here we go, arms and legs inside the car at all times.”

Appearance (before being tortured): Prior to his commitment into the asylum, Trager was a slim man with short, curly hair who frequently wore a pink dress shirt with his collar popped and his sleeves rolled up just below his elbow, tucked into tan slacks, a black belt, matching shoes and a dark blue sweater tied around the neck, along with an analog watch on his right wrist. Appearance (after being tortured): Following the skirmish with Murkoff's two agents, Richard's hair was caught in a paper shredder and ripped out, leaving him with only a few strands and a scarred scalp. After being subjected to the Morphogenic Engine, Trager was drastically disfigured; He became very withered and boney with numerous scars running down his body. The left side of his lower lip has been torn off, leaving him with a slight lisp. During the Mount Massive Asylum Incident, he fashioned himself as a surgeon, donning a blood-stained apron around the front part of his legs, which was just dark green patient sheets, with a tattered surgeon mask, steampunk-esque monocles with a shattered right lens and a patient drip wrapped around his left arm that punctures his veins.
