_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Arnold Wesker was always a quiet and timid child, but the death of his parents sent him to an extreme. Repressing all of his anger and hatred, Wesker's meek facade finally burst in a bar fight - he killed a man, and despite pleading innocence, was sent to Blackgate Prison. There he began to practice ventriloquism and became particularly enamored with his cellmate's dummy, Woody. At nights, the two began to talk - despite the fact the puppet's owner still slept. Killing their cellmate and staging a daring escape, Woody netting himself a jagged scar in the process, Wesker and "Scarface" quickly became a much-feared criminal duo thanks to Scarface's brilliant mind for heists. Unfortunately, the unassuming ventriloquist has little interest in a life of crime, and bears constant abuse, both mental and physical, from his puppet. Of course, Scarface is really just Wesker's own long-repressed anger, projected onto a lifeless hunk of wood. Or at least, we hope so.
