The truth, as twisted and horrifying as it is, lurks beneath every moment of chaos. Every act of violence, every strand of pain and suffering, every broken soul in Krishna’s world has been meticulously orchestrated by a single force: The Monster. He is not merely a villain, but an embodiment of manipulation, control, and insatiable power—an entity whose hands have shaped the events of Krishna’s world from the shadows. His involvement goes far beyond orchestrating a few key events; the Monster has woven himself into the very fabric of the lives of the characters Krishna holds closest. From the catalyst of Krishna’s meeting with Plague Doctor, to the devastating paths taken by Tenko and Mika Regina, the Monster has subtly bent, guided, and even pushed these individuals toward their fate. His reach extends even further, stretching into the lives of hundreds of thousands of terrorists who are unknowingly bound by his will, pawns in a much larger game of destruction.
But this story, the way the Monster has pulled the strings of every individual, is not one the world is ready to understand. For the Monster’s power is not in his violence alone—it’s in his cunning, his patience, and his ability to manipulate everything and everyone around him. While others might see chaos, destruction, and tragedy in the wake of his actions, what he sees is an intricate, delicate symphony of power and control, playing out exactly as he intended. He is not merely a villain who seeks to destroy—he is a manipulator of fates, shaping the world from behind a veil of shadows, his influence felt in every corner of existence. And yet, despite the scope of his reach, his true face remains hidden. Few have glimpsed the depths of his manipulation, and even fewer will ever fully understand the scale of his twisted plans.
To understand the full extent of the Monster’s control, one must first understand his terrifying ability: Life and Death. This isn’t just some ordinary power—it is an unimaginable force that appears once every century, an ancient and mysterious Catalyst with the ability to control life itself. Through the simple act of writing in a book, the Monster can decide the fate of anyone in the world, whether that means granting them an instant, painless death or toying with them, controlling their very life force in ways that can stretch their existence into endless agony or endless eternity.
This power isn’t one to be taken lightly—it is the ultimate weapon in the Monster’s arsenal, and it gives him dominion over not just individuals, but entire societies. With a single word, he can erase someone from existence, or he can condemn them to a life of torment. And yet, it’s not just about destruction. His power allows him to control life itself, bending it to his will. To him, life and death are mere tools, as disposable as the pieces on a chessboard, to be manipulated at will. This power is more than just dangerous—it’s a curse that makes him more than just a mastermind. It makes him a god. And like all gods, he sees himself as the arbiter of the world’s fate.
The terror lies not just in what the Monster can do, but in the understanding that his control is absolute. No one is truly safe in his world—not even the people Krishna holds most dear. The Monster watches and waits, knowing that at any given moment, he can alter the course of a life with a single stroke. The sense of hopelessness is overwhelming: there is no escaping his control, no way to fight back against the forces he has put into motion. The battle for freedom, for survival, is not just against enemies; it’s against the very force of nature that he embodies.
But this power didn’t come naturally. It wasn’t born out of some divine intervention or mystical force. The Monster’s beginnings are far more horrific, and his story starts in the cold, sterile confines of a lab. He wasn’t the product of some natural birth—he was created. He was engineered, designed as part of a scientific experiment that aimed to unlock the ultimate secrets of life and death. The scientists behind his creation were ambitious, seeking to understand the very essence of existence. They hoped to create a being that could control life itself, to grant humanity dominion over life’s mysteries.
But in their hubris, they made a fatal error. They stripped him of the one thing that separates humans from the monstrous—their empathy. This wasn’t just an accident. The scientists intentionally removed his capacity for empathy and replaced it with something far more dangerous: a psychopathy gene. This gene transformed him into a being with no moral compass, no concern for the pain and suffering he caused. He became sadistic, violent, and consumed with a desire for control. But they didn’t foresee one key consequence: brilliance.
Instead of creating a mindless creature, they had created a genius—a master manipulator with the intellect to match his lack of empathy. He understood human nature, not because he felt it, but because he saw it as something to be exploited. He learned how to control, how to deceive, and how to break people down until they were nothing more than tools to be used at his disposal.
This newfound intelligence gave him the ability to escape the lab that had confined him. He used the very manipulation that would define his life to worm his way out of the tightest of situations. His rise to power didn’t come from brute force—it came from a combination of calculated charm, cold logic, and the ability to play others like pawns in a game. The lab that had once been his prison became the foundation for his empire.
"i was made a lab to be the perfect monster so no four letter word called love can make me human"
"I AM GOD for i have no ability to make human connections making me the ULITMATE pragmatic that chooses your fate"
"there is no thing as love and harmony when humans in the past evolved from violent murderous apes"
"Love is something to be rejected from human nature if you want power"
"Life has no meaning or anything matters not even you your a speck in universe that is cruel and unforgiving as they are formless chaos"
"God is cruel being allowing children to be raped and killed along with women and men and he allows genocides because he 'loves" us when he gives us this pain therefore he is devil himself lucifer won a long time ago since god is dead"
"accept no one will ever love you because of the law of human nature called superficial because we place value on looks,money,power,status so accept it"
"monsters like me control the good people because good people are suspected of being monsters and monsters like me blend in and society doesnt like good people because pure good means you will be chewed up and spat out"
"the size of your heart is the size of your pain since you will have suffer as the good guy or girl so suffer and monsters will have everything when all of you suffer"
"monsters take what they want and they steal from the good since they dont matter pure kindness kills you in this world"
"one who loves shall suffer and perish for he is a idiot because betrayal is inevitable"
"pain is the only teacher in life so accept it and suffer like a beast and become one"
Once free, The Monster didn’t just disappear into obscurity. Instead, he began to build. He started small, at first—manipulating people here and there, pulling the strings of power and influence, setting in motion plans that would take years to unfold. But it wasn’t until he began to target the lives of Krishna, Plague Doctor, Tenko, Mika Regina, and the countless others in his web that the full scope of his influence became clear.
Every event that seemed random, every encounter that seemed like fate, was a piece of his design. The meeting between Krishna and Plague Doctor? Carefully planned. The rise of Tenko and his violent rampage? Set into motion by a series of subtle manipulations. The bond between Tenko and Mika? Another cog in the larger machinery. Each of these individuals, these moments, were carefully placed on his chessboard, and he controlled every move, every interaction, from the shadows.
What the world didn’t know was that The Monster wasn’t just a shadow in the background of their lives. He was the hand that shaped every event, every tragedy, and every victory. He was their creator and their destroyer, controlling them without them even realizing it.
The Monster’s true power lies not just in his manipulation of individuals but in his ability to create chaos on a grand scale. His influence extends far beyond the lives of Krishna, Tenko, and Mika. He has infiltrated governments, corporations, and entire societies, using his position of control to create an empire of terror.
Hundreds of thousands of terrorists operate under his command, each one a pawn in his game. These individuals aren’t mindless drones—they are human beings, each with their own motivations, fears, and desires. But under the Monster’s control, those desires are twisted, turned into something darker. They become weapons in his arsenal, tools to further his goals. To the outside world, these terrorists are seen as chaotic forces of destruction, but to the Monster, they are tools—mere tools to achieve his ultimate objective.
The legacy of the Monster isn’t just built on destruction. It is built on control. The web he has spun is so vast, so tangled, that even those who think they are acting on their own will are simply following his invisible hand. Every terrorist attack, every act of rebellion, every uprising—each one is a part of his grand design. The world trembles not just because of the chaos, but because the Monster has manipulated it into existence.
But what is the Monster’s true goal? What does he hope to achieve by manipulating everything around him, by building an empire of destruction? It isn’t simply about causing pain. It’s about reshaping the world itself. The Monster believes that humanity is fundamentally flawed—that it is broken, corrupt, and beyond saving. His goal isn’t just to destroy—it’s to rebuild. He sees himself as the architect of a new world order, one where he can control every aspect of life and death, a world where only he has the power to decide who lives and who dies.
To him, the destruction he causes is merely the beginning. It is the first step in the creation of a new world, one that operates under his rule. And when that world is built, there will be no one left to challenge him. He will be the ultimate authority—above all others, above life itself.
In the Monster’s eyes, the world is broken. It is an imperfect machine, malfunctioning in ways he alone can understand. He alone has the power to fix it, to make it work as it should. His vision is that of a perfect, ordered existence, where chaos no longer reigns, where the feeble constraints of morality are eradicated, and where he alone is the one to wield the ultimate power over life and death.
He will become the very definition of existence, the foundation upon which everything else will rest. There will be no more resistance, no more rebellion. Only his will shall shape the future, and only his decisions will determine who lives, who dies, and who suffers.
The Monster is not just a villain; he is the embodiment of control, the ultimate manipulator who shapes lives and destinies for his own twisted purposes. His power over life and death, his ability to create and destroy with the mere stroke of a pen, makes him a force unlike any other. He is not just a man; he is a god, a creator, and a destroyer. His legacy will be written in blood, but it will be a legacy that, in his eyes, is necessary for the world to be reborn in his image.
As Krishna, Tenko, Mika Regina, and the rest of his pawns continue to play their parts, The Monster watches from the shadows, ever patient, ever calculating. He has already won. The game is over.
Motives:
-
Sadism: At the core of the Monster's being lies a thirst for suffering. He doesn't just seek to harm others for power or control—he takes perverse pleasure in their torment. The emotional and physical pain of others becomes a source of joy and affirmation for him. Every scream, every cry for mercy, validates his power, and reinforces his belief that life, in its essence, is about the infliction of pain. This sadism drives him to push his puppets—those under his manipulation—towards acts of extreme violence, cruelty, and destruction. Each moment of agony they experience is another notch in his growing sense of superiority. The more he breaks them, the stronger his belief in his dominion grows.
-
Control: For the Monster, control is not simply a desire—it is his existence. He manipulates events, people, and even the very fabric of life itself to serve his will. Every relationship, every conflict, every death is a part of his grand design. To him, free will is an illusion; all actions are part of the script he has written. By controlling everything around him, he shapes reality to his liking. The Monster thrives on having his fingers in every pie, pulling every string, and ensuring that no matter how chaotic things may seem to the outside world, they are all in line with his intentions. He sees control not just as a tool but as a fundamental necessity to reshape the world into his perfect image.
-
Lust: Lust for power, not pleasure, consumes the Monster. His every action is motivated by a desire to dominate, to assert his will over all. Where others may be driven by love or need, the Monster's lust lies in the drive to subjugate and conquer. He sees humanity as a series of tools to be bent to his whims—he lusts for their submission, their obedience, their complete surrender to his will. This lust is also expressed in his obsession with reshaping the world in his image. The world itself is his canvas, and he craves the power to change it according to his desires, regardless of the consequences to those within it.
-
Wrath: Wrath fuels the Monster’s mission. His anger isn't just a personal vendetta—it's a fundamental aspect of his worldview. He despises the imperfection of humanity, the fragility of life, and the chaos that comes with free will. The Monster believes that the world is irredeemably flawed, and his wrath is a manifestation of this belief. He has no patience for weakness, for hesitation, or for those who defy him. His wrath drives him to destroy everything that doesn't adhere to his idea of order and perfection. Through his violent actions, he believes he is purging the world of its impurities, removing the stains of imperfection that prevent the emergence of a new, divine world order.
-
Greed: The Monster’s greed is boundless. It is not merely the desire for wealth or material gain; it is a hunger for absolute dominion. He is driven by the need to collect and consolidate power in all its forms—political, societal, and supernatural. He seeks control over all aspects of life, from governments to organizations, from individual fates to entire populations. His greed extends beyond earthly concerns—he seeks to grasp the very essence of existence, to control life and death itself. Nothing and no one is immune to his insatiable hunger for more. He believes that only by accumulating total control can he shape the world to his liking.
-
Pride: The Monster’s pride is immense, born from his godlike power and intellectual superiority. He sees himself as an evolutionary step above humanity, and his actions are justified by his belief in his own infallibility. His pride isn’t just arrogance—it's a deep-rooted belief that the world should revolve around him. His vision is the only one that matters, and all those who disagree with him are insignificant. His pride leads him to look down on others as mere tools or obstacles, not even considering them worthy of empathy or consideration. He sees himself as the architect of a new reality, and that self-image reinforces his belief in his right to rule.
-
Manipulating the World: The Monster’s ability to manipulate extends beyond individual people or small groups; he manipulates the entire world itself. He doesn’t merely control the movements of armies or governments—he has embedded himself into the very fabric of society, planting seeds of discord, tension, and division where there was none. Through manipulation, he bends societies to his will, ensuring that even the most unpredictable events occur according to his grand design. By pitting people against one another, by fostering chaos and conflict, he makes sure that no one can challenge his authority. The world itself becomes his puppet, and every move it makes is calculated in advance.
-
Shaping His Image of the World: The Monster has a clear vision for the world—one where he is the supreme being, the ultimate authority over all life and death. To achieve this vision, he must manipulate every event, every action, and every individual so that they align with his goals. He forces the world to bend to his will, reshaping it into a reflection of his desires. Each tragedy, each piece of destruction is a brushstroke on his grand canvas, and he is the only artist capable of shaping the world into its final form. For him, the world is an incomplete masterpiece, one that will only be finished when he has fully asserted his control.
-
God Complex: Above all, the Monster’s greatest driving force is his god complex. He believes himself to be the creator of his own world, the ruler of existence itself. He views others as mere ants beneath his feet, incapable of understanding the magnitude of his plan. His belief in his godhood makes him untouchable, invincible in his mind. He believes that his actions, no matter how cruel or destructive, are justified because he sees himself as the ultimate arbiter of fate. In his eyes, he is the one who will bring true order to a chaotic, imperfect world. His god complex feeds into every other aspect of his personality—his wrath, pride, greed, and lust for control are all rooted in this fundamental belief that he alone has the right to rule.
Complexity:
-
Traces of Empathy: Though the Monster is primarily defined by his lack of empathy, it is still present in subtle ways. He doesn’t feel for others, but he recognizes their emotions and uses them as tools for manipulation. He knows that people are motivated by love, fear, and desire, and he exploits these emotions to twist them to his advantage. His ability to understand the feelings of others allows him to pull the strings from behind the scenes, setting people against one another, playing on their vulnerabilities, and making them dance to his tune. His empathy is not for the people he manipulates—it’s for his own gain.
-
Empathy Used for Manipulation: The Monster’s understanding of human emotions is a weapon he wields with cold precision. He knows how to make people feel what he wants them to feel, pushing them into actions that will further his goals. Whether it’s instilling fear, love, or hatred, he uses their emotions as a means to an end. His empathy is weaponized, always calculated, and always self-serving. The emotional strings he pulls may feel real, but they are never genuine.
-
Emotionally In Touch with His Terrorist Group: Despite his lack of real empathy, the Monster maintains a strong emotional connection with his followers. To them, he is not just a leader but a father figure, a guide, and a protector. He manipulates their loyalty and admiration to further his own goals, but he does so in a way that keeps them emotionally bound to him. They see him as a savior, someone who understands their pain and guides them through it. He nurtures this perception, even though his true intentions are anything but benevolent. His ability to maintain this facade of emotional connection is one of his greatest strengths, keeping his followers dedicated and unquestioning.
-
Being Looked Up as a Parental/Father Figure by All Terrorists: The Monster’s followers see him as a father figure—a mentor and guide who provides them with purpose and direction. He gives them a sense of belonging, a cause to fight for, and an identity to cling to. To them, he is a protector who understands their suffering and offers them power in return. This image of the Monster as a paternal figure allows him to manipulate their loyalty and trust, making them willing to die for him, to sacrifice everything they have in his name.
-
Being a Devil Behind the World: Though the Monster's followers revere him, the world at large sees him as a malevolent force, the devil behind the curtain of chaos. He is the one who stirs up conflict, who manipulates events from the shadows, and who spreads terror across the globe. To the people he controls, he is an angel of destruction, a figure whose very presence spells doom. To the outside world, he is a dark, malevolent force whose true power lies in his ability to remain unseen.
-
Cold and Calculating Entirely: At the heart of the Monster is a mind as cold and calculating as the blade of a surgeon. Every action, every word, every movement is part of a larger plan, carefully orchestrated to achieve his ultimate goals. He doesn’t act on impulse or emotion—everything he does is a calculated step in his grand design. His ability to stay calm and detached, no matter how dire the situation, is what makes him so dangerous. He is always five steps ahead, always thinking about the next move, always planning for the future.
Symbolism:
-
God: The Monster embodies the role of a god—he is the creator and destroyer, the one who decides who lives and who dies. His godlike power, particularly his ability to control life and death, reinforces this symbolism. He sees himself as a force of nature, above all others, destined to rule over everything. His complex of godhood drives every aspect of his existence.

-
Mortality's Futility: The Monster represents the futility of mortality. He has transcended the limitations of human life, or so he believes. He controls life and death with a single word, mocking the very concept of mortality. Life, to him, is nothing more than a fleeting illusion—he has the power to snuff it out at will. His manipulation of life and death symbolizes the meaningless cycle of existence, one that he alone can rewrite.
-
Manipulator Behind the World: The Monster is the puppet master, the unseen hand pulling all the strings. He manipulates governments, societies, and individuals, bending them to his will. His influence is far-reaching, though invisible to most. He is the one behind the curtain, the mastermind pulling the strings of the world’s conflicts.
-
Controller of Life and Death: His ability to control life and death is both a literal and symbolic manifestation of his power. He decides who lives and who dies, shaping the fate of entire populations. This ability makes him the ultimate controller, the one who holds dominion over existence itself.
-
The Writer of Fate: The Monster is the architect of destiny. He shapes the future with his will, scripting the lives of others as if they were characters in a novel. He believes that he alone holds the pen, writing the fates of all who exist. Others are mere pawns in his game, and their destinies are dictated by his whims.
-
The Evil Hidden Away: The Monster represents the hidden evil in the world. He is the force operating in the shadows, unseen by most, but always there, manipulating and controlling. His true nature is concealed from the public eye, allowing him to operate in plain sight while his true intentions remain a mystery.
-
Sadistic: The Monster’s sadism goes beyond mere cruelty—it is a core part of his identity. He revels in the torment and suffering of others, whether it’s physical pain or emotional devastation. He views others as weak and inferior, and their pain serves to elevate his sense of power and importance. Inflicting harm brings him a sense of satisfaction, affirming his superiority. He perceives suffering as a tool, a way to “shape” the world according to his desires. The more agonizing the pain, the greater the sense of control he feels over both the victim and the situation.
-
Manipulative: Masterful manipulation is one of his key skills. He doesn’t need to rely on brute force or violence alone; his true weapon is his ability to control minds and emotions. He exploits weaknesses, preying on desires, fears, and insecurities. The Monster can weave lies, create false alliances, and exploit loyalty to bend people to his will. His ability to perceive and read others allows him to predict behavior, making him an almost unstoppable force of control. His manipulation is precise, deliberate, and often subtle, leaving his victims unaware of their entrapment until it’s too late.
-
Narcissistic: His narcissism is monumental. The Monster is a classic narcissist, viewing himself as the center of the universe. He believes that his intellect, vision, and existence are far superior to those around him, and he constantly craves validation for this belief. Others are seen not as individuals with value but as tools to be used for his benefit. His superiority complex is so extreme that he views any resistance as an affront to his greatness, thus justifying his violent methods to rid the world of what he deems “imperfection.”
-
Cold: Emotionally, The Monster is an iceberg—completely detached from human emotions, empathy, and compassion. His connections with others are shallow and manipulative, never genuine. Relationships are transactional for him, mere instruments of power. He sees the world as a chessboard, with people being pawns to be moved, discarded, or sacrificed as necessary. His coldness is not just a defense mechanism but a fundamental aspect of how he interacts with the world. His emotional distance allows him to act without hesitation, free from the constraints that would bind more empathetic individuals.
-
Strategic: Every action The Monster takes is calculated. His intelligence is not merely academic—he has a deep understanding of the human psyche and societal structures, allowing him to manipulate both individuals and entire systems with ease. He plans for every possible scenario, often thinking five, ten, or twenty steps ahead of his enemies. His ability to forecast consequences, whether through psychological manipulation or physical violence, makes him a daunting adversary. Everything he does is part of a grand design, a piece of the puzzle that furthers his quest for control over the world.
-
Dominating: The Monster’s desire for control is unrelenting. He isn’t satisfied with small victories or temporary power—he seeks absolute dominion over life and death itself. His desire to dominate isn’t confined to one realm; it extends to individuals, groups, entire populations, and even the laws of nature. He manipulates governments, corporations, and armies to serve his goals. In his eyes, order is synonymous with control, and chaos is something to be eradicated. This absolute need for power is what drives his every decision, creating a dark, godlike ambition that drives his actions.
-
Wrathful: The Monster’s anger is an ever-present force in his psyche. His wrath stems from a profound disillusionment with the world and the imperfections he perceives within it. The chaos and unpredictability of human nature infuriate him. He believes that true perfection can only be achieved through absolute control, and his wrath is fueled by the belief that the world must be reshaped to fit his vision. He channels his anger into violent, destructive acts, believing that only through destruction can true order emerge. His wrath is not a passing emotion; it is a guiding principle that shapes his worldview and his actions.
-
INTJ (The Architect): The Monster’s personality type, INTJ, is particularly fitting for his character. His intellect and long-term strategic thinking align with the INTJ’s defining traits. INTJs are visionaries, and The Monster certainly fits this mold—his vision of a perfect, controlled world guides every decision he makes. His personality type is known for being analytical, logical, and fiercely independent, all traits that The Monster embodies. The difference lies in the intensity and ruthlessness with which The Monster pursues his goals.
-
Introverted: The Monster is inwardly focused, drawing strength from his own mind and vision. He doesn't need external validation or support, and he operates best in solitude or in controlled environments where he can maintain his manipulative grip.
-
Intuitive: The Monster looks beyond the present moment, focusing on the bigger picture and the long-term implications of his actions. He is attuned to the patterns of human behavior and uses this understanding to manipulate events toward his desired outcomes.
-
Thinking: The Monster is driven by logic and reason rather than emotion. He makes decisions based on strategic calculation, weighing the benefits and risks of every move he makes. He is unemotional in his reasoning and holds others to the same standard.
-
Judging: The Monster has a deep need for control and structure. He dislikes unpredictability, seeing it as chaotic and threatening. His desire for order is one of the key components of his drive to reshape the world in his image.
-
-
Psychopathy: Psychopathy is the bedrock of The Monster’s personality. He exhibits all the hallmarks of a classic psychopath: a complete absence of empathy, an enjoyment of others’ pain, and a manipulative nature. He is also highly impulsive when it comes to causing harm, often acting on his desire for power without remorse or consideration for the consequences. His inability to form genuine connections with others only further distances him from any moral compass or empathy.
-
Sociopathy: While The Monster exhibits key traits of psychopathy, he also displays sociopathic characteristics. Sociopaths tend to form intense, albeit toxic, relationships with their followers or victims. In The Monster’s case, this manifests in his ability to create a twisted sense of loyalty and dependence among those who follow him. He controls them emotionally, often simulating affection or camaraderie to ensure their allegiance. However, these relationships are always transactional—once his followers cease to be useful, they are discarded or destroyed.
-
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): The Monster’s narcissism is so pronounced that it reaches clinical levels. He believes himself to be a god, destined to reshape the world according to his will. He requires constant admiration and validation of his superiority. His grandiosity drives him to belittle others, seeing them as tools for his own gain. His lack of empathy is a core feature of NPD, making it impossible for him to form healthy relationships.
-
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD): ASPD encompasses both psychopathy and sociopathy. The Monster’s disregard for the rights and well-being of others, coupled with his manipulative and violent tendencies, firmly places him under the umbrella of ASPD. His actions show no remorse or guilt, and he regularly violates the rights of others to achieve his goals.
-
Delusional Disorder: The Monster’s grandiose belief that he is destined to reshape the world and bring about a perfect order fits the diagnostic criteria for delusional disorder. His belief in his own divinity and the righteousness of his destructive path reflects a pathological distortion of reality, where he perceives his actions as necessary and justified, regardless of the harm they cause.
-
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): The Monster’s obsession with control and perfectionism suggests that he may exhibit traits of OCD. His need to manipulate every detail of his environment and people around him, ensuring everything conforms to his vision, could reflect obsessive thinking and compulsive behaviors. This obsession with control drives him to extreme lengths to maintain power, pushing him to manipulate both systems and individuals without pause.
-
Possible Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome (NASS): The Monster’s behavior towards those he controls—emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive—can create a toxic, emotionally damaging environment. His narcissism makes him prone to emotional abuse, while his manipulative tendencies ensure that those around him remain under his grip, even if it leads to deep psychological trauma.
-
Psychopathy: The Monster’s psychopathy is the most dominant aspect of his personality. He shows a complete lack of empathy, taking pleasure in the suffering of others. He is manipulative, cold, and calculating, making him a true psychopath in every sense. He enjoys causing pain, and his cruel, detached nature enables him to harm others without feeling guilt or remorse.
-
Sociopathy: As a sociopath, The Monster is emotionally detached from others, yet still capable of manipulating those around him for his own purposes. His relationships, though intense, are always built on a power dynamic. He doesn’t form emotional attachments, but he is skilled at exploiting people’s vulnerabilities to get what he wants.
-
Machiavellianism: The Monster is a textbook example of a Machiavellian figure. He uses manipulation, deceit, and strategic cruelty to achieve his ends. He views power as the ultimate goal and is willing to use any means necessary to secure it. His intellect and strategic thinking make him a master at deception, willing to exploit every opportunity, no matter how underhanded.
The Monster’s psychological profile is an intricate mix of extreme narcissism, psychopathy, and sociopathy, with a heavy dose of obsessive-compulsive tendencies and delusions of grandeur. His dominance in the Dark Triad manifests in every aspect of his behavior, from his manipulative control over others to his sadistic pleasure in causing suffering. His psychological makeup makes him a terrifying figure—a master of manipulation and violence, driven by a god-like sense of self-importance.
The Monster was never born with empathy or true emotional depth. His human side—the side he has learned to play—is based entirely on observation, study, and meticulous calculation. He understands emotions, not because he feels them, but because he has studied them. His lack of empathy doesn’t prevent him from recognizing the vulnerabilities of others; in fact, it gives him the ability to manipulate them with deadly precision. His human side is one of calculation and control—a side that is willing to masquerade as caring, understanding, and compassionate, even if it’s all a carefully crafted fa?ade.
Emotional Manipulation: The Monster doesn’t see Plague Doctor as a mere tool; he sees him as someone whose pain is useful. They both share a sense of loss—Plague Doctor’s tragic past with the loss of his family, and The Monster’s experiments and origins as something unnatural. This shared loss is the emotional hook The Monster uses to reel in Plague Doctor.
The Monster, in his manipulative wisdom, doesn't force his ideology onto Plague Doctor. Instead, he approaches him with subtlety, offering the illusion of understanding. He mirrors Plague Doctor’s rage and hurt, making Plague Doctor believe that, unlike anyone else, The Monster can comprehend his anguish.
Example: Late one night, as Plague Doctor sharpens his blade, The Monster quietly approaches him. He doesn’t speak for a while, allowing Plague Doctor’s thoughts to linger on his past. Then, in a soft, almost soothing tone, he says:
“You think you’re alone in your pain, don’t you? I can see it—the fire that burns in you, the pain you hold deep inside. But there’s a difference between you and the rest of the world. You know the truth, Plague Doctor. The truth that others are too blind to see. They failed you, and they will continue to fail you. But I understand. I see what needs to be done, and I will help you do it. Together, we can create a world that reflects your perfect vision. A world where your suffering becomes the catalyst for something more.”
Here, The Monster doesn’t just manipulate Plague Doctor’s pain; he validates it, making him believe that his grief is not just something to be endured, but something that can be used. This emotional manipulation turns Plague Doctor from a broken individual into a willing weapon in The Monster’s war.
Emotional Manipulation: Mika is an individual who has suffered great loss—her betrayal by her family and the loss of her best friend Kaito. She is emotionally vulnerable, searching for a sense of belonging and purpose. The Monster, seeing this vulnerability, takes advantage of it.
To Mika, The Monster becomes a father figure, offering her the power and respect she never received from her own family. The Monster does not offer her true affection, but he knows the power of empty promises and flattering words. He uses her emotional need for a paternal figure to keep her loyal and emotionally dependent on him.
Example: In the midst of a heated battle, Mika is struggling with her inner turmoil—her desire for vengeance mixed with a desire for connection. The Monster notices this weakness and approaches her as she stands alone in the aftermath of violence. His voice is calm, like a father soothing a distressed child:
“You’ve been through more than anyone should. But you’re not alone anymore. I’ve seen your pain, Mika. I’ve seen what you’ve lost. The world has turned its back on you, just like it does to everyone who is truly strong. But you—” he pauses, a slight, cold smile forming on his face “—you are different. You have the power to reshape the world. You have the strength to make everyone who has ever hurt you pay.”
The Monster’s words are calculated and carefully crafted. They are designed to make Mika feel that she is special, that her pain and suffering have a purpose. He nurtures her need for connection and validates her desire for revenge, making her believe that he is the only one who truly understands her and values her. He becomes, for a time, the father figure she never had—the one who promises to protect her and show her the way forward.
Emotional Manipulation: Tenko, like Plague Doctor, is emotionally fragile—but his vulnerability is rooted in his need for direction and affirmation. He has lost his family, and he feels utterly adrift in the world. Unlike Plague Doctor, Tenko is not looking for a philosophical purpose; he is looking for someone to give him clear direction—someone to tell him what to do and why. He is emotionally clinging to the idea of belonging to something bigger than himself.
The Monster plays on this emotional need, positioning himself as the one true mentor. He understands that Tenko needs to feel needed and important, and he manipulates this need to bind Tenko to him.
Example: During a private conversation, The Monster approaches Tenko, who is pacing restlessly, unsure of where to go next. The Monster doesn’t demand obedience; instead, he speaks to Tenko’s insecurities:
“Look at you. A lost child in a world that has abandoned you. You’ve been broken, just like me. But I’m not here to leave you behind, Tenko. I’m here to give you the strength to do what no one else has dared to. They will tremble before you. You will become the force that shapes the world. You are the power that others will fear.”
Here, The Monster is not offering affection, but a sense of direction—a promise of purpose. Tenko is not just a follower to him; he is a tool, but a tool that can belong to him, a tool that will carry out his mission in exchange for validation. The Monster appeals to Tenko’s need for recognition and purpose, making him feel that he is crucial to The Monster’s vision.
While The Monster’s human side might appear as a caring, fatherly figure, it’s ultimately a means to an end. His understanding of emotions is entirely manipulative, and his “fatherly” gestures are only designed to control. However, there is a twisted human element to this behavior: The Monster is so emotionally detached from others that he must create these illusions of care and belonging in order to control those around him.
In his deepest, most solitary moments, there is a realization that, perhaps, this emotional manipulation is the only way he can truly connect with others. His inability to form true emotional bonds has pushed him to rely on false affection to achieve his goals, and this is where the tragic irony lies: The Monster, in trying to control everything and everyone, has become more isolated than ever before.
Example of Vulnerability (Rare Moment): Late at night, after a particularly violent operation, The Monster stands alone, looking at a photograph of the experiment that created him. His face softens for a brief moment before the mask is back on, and he turns away, saying to himself:
“They are weak. I am not like them. I never will be.”
In that split second, it’s possible to see a hint of longing, a faint wish that he could be something more than just the orchestrator of destruction. This vulnerability is hidden under his calculated mask of control, but it exists. The Monster’s human side is just as much about the need for control and purpose as it is about his self-deception.
The human side of The Monster is built on the understanding of human pain, but it is ultimately a weapon for manipulation and control. He does not love, he does not care, but he understands how to appear as though he does. His interactions with Plague Doctor, Mika, and Tenko are masterclasses in emotional manipulation, where he exploits their vulnerabilities—giving them a sense of purpose and direction, while keeping them emotionally bound to him.
Despite his calculated nature, there is a rare, fleeting moment of vulnerability—an understanding that, perhaps, these emotional connections are the only way he can truly interact with the world around him. This tragic realization adds a layer of complexity to The Monster: He’s not just a heartless manipulator, but a product of a world that has left him emotionally adrift, trying desperately to recreate human connections on his own terms.
