***Police Report: Classified***
...Little is known about The entity "Crimson Hollow". We know his name is Seth Donovan, he resides in Paragon City and he once worked for a research and genetics company. He is divorced from his former ex-wife named Julie Summers. We say former because she was killed on July 5th, 2004. We suspect Seth was involved but have no clear evidence to support that theory.
Seth Donovan's life is very scattered at best. We suspect that he has meticulously deleted as much of his former life as possible. Research has indicated he has deleted most of his life up to 28. Therefore, we suspect Seth, aka "Crimson Hollow" is most likely about 31 years old, given the fact that the trail of his history went black 3 years prior. The oddity of this investigation stems from just that - he was still working for the Genetics research company at the age of 29 through 31...which means he spent 2 years among society and covering his tracks...which means he was probably planning these circumstances all along.
The investigation went cold up until June when we stumbled upon a terrorist attack investigation. It turns out the victim was a Psychologist by the name of Christopher Hanover. It appears he was treating Seth during his more troubling times...when he was 29 - the end of any public knowledge of Seth and the missing piece we were looking for. Here are the only known excerpts from Dr. Hanover's journal he kept during his appointments with "The Crimson Hollow".
***Dr. Hanover Entries***
June 15th, 2005 - 9:06pm "I had another session with you-know-who today. Strange, his personality seems to have taken a shift. I know he'd been having problems with his wife last year, but I didn't think it affected him this much. He's working more, socializing less. It's almost as if he's been altered in some way. I have another session with him tomorrow - hopefully I'll find more answers."
June 16th, 2005 - 11:24pm "Traffic was a nightmare today. An apartment building was destroyed by some anonymous figure. Might be the work of Arachnos, but no one can be sure. Was able to have a session with Seth Donovan today. He seemed more at peace, more in control. His past still haunts him; Mother was murdered, Father committed suicide, girlfriend of 3 years dies at the hand of mysterious grease fire. I've been meaning to talk to him about that. He still works hard over at the Genetics testing lab, rarely takes a break. It might be affecting his work."
June 20th, 2005 - 1:39am "I need to get a message out and I don't have much time. I may be dead before long, but I've figured out Seth's problems. He's been testing himself! He's been consumed by darkness, literally! Don't have much time, but I'm pretty sure he was responsible for his girlfriend's death as well as that building attack a few days ago - his ex-wife's building! I have to get as far away as possible and try to erqwiore rewarraoiw e wao e e .................f.sd.sdf.dsa.sd...faslea.

Luckily, Dr. Hanover encrypted his last few journal files. We speculated why Donovan didn't look over the encrypted files - we believe he underestimated the damage from the fire. We hoped to interview Dr. Hanover, but Seth got to him and destroyed the building before we knew to investigate. Dr. Hanover's body was identified by Dental Records.
***Final Synopsis***
Consider Seth Donovan, AKA "The Crimson Hollow" with extreme caution. He uses "the dark" to cause destruction and death wherever he goes. We still don't have any clue how he utilizes these abilities since these tend to stem from Magic or Mutation, NOT from Science. Working theory: The Genetics lab. That makes him even more dangerous because of his intelligence.He's very savy and is not stupid. He's calculating, decisive, as well as malicious. I repeat, if you see him, contact Paragon Police immediately!
***Update***
We have seen Mr. Donovan now and again hiding out in Rogue Islands Area. There have been rumblings throughout the area of ominous attacks; a man in a seemly black and red bio-suit with spikes on parts of the outfit. We also noticed through security cameras that, even with the mask, there is a scar on his right face/eye area. Investigations have concluded he obtained the scar sometime during his 2-year absence from the Paragon System. The Paragon Forensics Team has also found evidence from a recent visit to the Kings Row Bank - a trace of blood from Seth was found at the scene of the robbery.
Again, any information about "The Crimson Hollow" is necessary to bring him to justice...dead or alive.
