Persona
Analytical about everything, likes to pick apart every detail of a situation and analyze each part individually until he fully understands the situation. He is curious about everything and finds everything interesting. He is constantly scrawling data into his notebook and insists on collecting DNA samples from everybody he meets, both of which he files away in a mysterious place. But there is a dark side, he feels no remorse in infecting somebody with a deadly exotic disease and watching them die so he can collect data.
Profession
With his PhD in Biological Engineering and Masters Degree in Advanced Electrical and Structural Engineering from Cap Au Diable University, he was able to achieve the prestigious title of Arachnos Scientist. After an incident, he was forced to resign. He is currently employed by CyCorp.
Origin
Virus
Another crazy plot made by Lord Recluse to crush his enemies involved developing a Virus that could kill anything, regardless of species or life status. He planned on releasing it into Paragon and putting the Rogue Isles into Quarantine until everything was dead. After extensive research and development, Dr. Syndrome engineered a Super-Adaptive Virus, one that could change form and evolve without reproduction to best fit into it's surroundings. It was a success. Dr. Syndrome and his team of scientists tested the SA-Virus on various test subjects ranging from Mice to Captured Rikti to Circle of Thorns Ghosts, all results were positive and quite deadly.
That Fateful Day
The day came to test it on a random Hero. While the scientists prepared for the forced infection of this nameless hero, Longbow agents stormed into the laboratory, guns blazing and glass shattering until a nullifier launched a grenade. The grenade hit the vials of the SA-Virus, which incidentally, were right next to Dr. Syndrome. Showered with broken glass and green viral goo, he jumped out of the window of the now burning laboratory and landed from the two-story fall. He barely survived. Knowing well the capabilities of the virus, but not knowing of a cure, he escaped to his summer home and quarantined himself in. The walking viral armageddon had to be contained.
Breakthrough!
He set up a nuclear bomb to go off the second his heart stopped beating and begun his second most brilliant work yet. With limited supplies and information in his personal lab, he created a belt that constantly pumped a special Counter-Virus into his blood stream which constantly changed his body's chemical composition by tiny degrees at the cellular level. The Counter-Virus had a short life span and had to be constantly engineered. The only problem was, he was pronounced dead by Arachnos, and if he returned, his execution would come swiftly.
With no job, and money dwindling, he invented his third best invention, Gauntlets that took in samples of his blood, filtered out the SA-Virus, weakened and altered it by hitting it with a rapid combination of chemicals, and launched it at a target. With different combinations came different effects that ranged from Cellular Destruction to Cellular Regeneration. After several trials and upgrades, he now uses specially designed nanites to control the infection and a specially designed static shield to contain it. He used his inventions to take the money he needed to survive until he was noticed by Mr. Cyril and hired into CyCorp.
