George Einstein.
He was originally a renowned scholar of the famed Einstein family that had revived in recent times.
Having been part of the scholars association to research all of the magical phenomena that appeared in the world.
He was a brilliant mind as expected of the Einstein bloodline and was unexpectedly humble despite his background.
But after participating in an expedition to an explored ruin, he was the only survivor of the entire expedition team and was rumoured to have went insane.
But nowadays, due to certain malpractice that involved unwilling test subjects of incredible renown such as a presidents daughter and much recently a pair of twins from a renowned noble family.
George Einstein was kicked out of the family much earlier on after the presidential fiasco, but due to other circumstances at the time he had kept the name until now.
Something he would later come to regret.
But something the current him did not care about in the slightest.
Staring with bloodshot eyes at the screen, his green eyes dilated profusely as the pale complexion of his gained a rosy tint to it.
A toothy grin stretched across his body face as he wiped the unkempt hair from his head.
Licking his parched lips, he spoke to seemingly nobody.
"Kidnapping that bastards daughter was a good idea in the end, although it cost me a pretty penny"
The madman thought back to his past actions and thought whether or not he would do it again he would always choose to do it again.
Although it had painted an unnecessarily large target on his rather small frame, in the face of progress George didn't care.
And currently, he was staring at the successful product of his actions.
"Product-076" George repeated the words as if tasting them on his lips and marked it into his mind.
Staring at the boy the madman noted down his characteristics.
"Skinny little product with pale skin something I should've expected when I took him from the under city slums"
"White hair is something unusual, but is not that rare anymore"
"Purple eyes? A rarity to be sure"
"Hmm..." The madman narrowed his green eyes in mischievousness.
"And now that I see it... If I just flatten him up and make him look good then..."
He licked his lips.
"Quite the looker hm? The gods were kind to him"
Turning his attention from Product-076.
His eyes widened in slight surprise before the same unsettling smile stretched across the entirety of his face.
"This is a better result then I thought I would get"
Turning to a black screen depicting a hundred multicoloured units in front of him.
Only three of the rooms were green and the rest were all red or grey painting the screen in ominous colours.
Expanding the green rooms in front of his eyes.
The words Product-081 and Product-82 appeared withint the reflections of his green eyes.
"Out of the hundred I thought I would only receive one or two, who would've thought I would've received three!"
Turning his attention to the rest of the screens, out of the hundred rooms marked on the black screen, he saw as a good majority of the children not even past the age of ten lay lifelessly against the cold steel surface of the steel contraption.
The rest of them only sitting by themselves in a steel corner.
Smiling maniacly, he pressed a button and watched as long arms grabbed the dead bodies that were released from their clamps in preparation for the mad doctors experiments on how to optimise the effects.
"Can't waste good material like this, don't know when I can get a windfall like this."
Staring at the screens with blood shot eyes, his fingers flew across the keyboard.
Right behind him were several of his 'Pet projects'.
Tubes with an unknown liquid carrying several humanoid bodies in suspended animation, pieces of metal grafted into their bodies in gruesome fashion.
Flashing a maniacal grin, his lips spoke and directed the successful products of his decade long pet project to the testing chambers.
Behind his maniacal gaze, several hundreds of thousands of the experiments he unwillingly took from their normal lives screamed in terror as the Mad doctor eagerly waited to sink his poisonous teeth into his subjects.
Watching the white haired boy enter the next room, he also watched a blue and red haired pair of twins walking into the next room.
"Now then" his fingers danced across the keyboard.
"Let's see what these guys can provide me"
Preparing the machine that would brand all the young children with a special magically inductive material, George also prepared to extract the records of the child using this special alloy.
Smiling creepily, a mad light shone darkly in his green eyes.

Glitch slowly walked forwards and felt his bare feet slap against the metal ground, knowing full well that many walked here in the same positions.
The only difference was that they were now either dead and were turned into experimental material, or they were turned into horrific experimental abominations on the border of life and death.
Feeling the giant iron cuffs chaff against his skin, Glitch walked into the next room where he saw another strange looking metal contraption.
A voice crackled out of a nearby speaker. "Get on the testing device"
Recalling that there was no use in not participating as the Madman didn't care about the life and death of any he deemed lesser.
His previous attempts of escape were met with harsh punishment in the form of former human beings.
Incredibly jarring for the young boy as it had left a scar that remained until this day.
Recalling the images of former humans being melded with all forms of steel and flesh, Glitch had to physically restrain himself from throwing up bile right there and then.
Glitch slowly got onto the machine and mentally prepared himself as the strong magnets locked his limbs into place.
The rest of the machine moved to cover the skinny frame of his.
Feeling the steel encase him in a man made coffin, Glitch breathed out slowly as a small fear inevitably crawled into his skull as the machine encased everything but his head in steel.
The iron clamps were then sliced open in the iron coffin, and feeling them give way, Glitch mentally prepared himself as his wrists, ankles and neck were suddenly exposed to cold air.
Revealing the slightly torn, raw skin underneath that was already forming the onsets of scarred skin, the burning pain that followed immediately made sure to leave a scar.
Although he was mentally prepared, there was little one could do against pain but endure it or use anesthetics.
And since he was a several miles deep in the earth and in the lab of a mad man, there was no choice.but to take the first option and endure.
A metallic arm carrying a long thick strip of specially crafted metal neared his neck, glowing an unsettling orange.
Clasping around his neck.
"HMMPF" A soundless scream left his lips as heated metal cuffs made of a special alloy was burnt around the places his iron cuffs were initially.
Melting the skin to the metal, Glitch silently endured the pain that was assaulting the mind of the young him.
Feeling the metal sear his skin and melt throught the first layer of it before binding to it, the metal inevitably sunk through his skin and permeated the muscles.
And much like anything that had to do with muscles, it hurt like hell.
Feeling the metal sink through every fibre of muscle it met the blood in his veins that pumped through faster and faster as the adrenaline pumped through his heart.
Getting carried by the flow of the blood, the metal permeated every fibre of his being.
Glitch regretted growing his pain tolerance as it came back to bite him in the form of incredibly detailed sensations.
Feeling the metal bite into every fibre of his being, Glitch slowly felt his psyche unravel as the special metal stopped permeating through his body and instead sunk into his brain.
A series of incoherent thoughts flashed through his mind as the remnants of his trauma acted up on him.
'I WILL KILL!!'
A bloody man with a scar around his neck manifested giant weapons in the air while black marks ran down his face, fighting against a large red akinned demon that was holding the head of a limp body.
'Who am I?'
A man slowly sunk into an endless purple darkness, strands of purple blackness pulsating through his veins as the white scar around his neck turned black.
'Dad!'
Several arms of black coming out of a neck scarred man tried to grab out to a figure fighting a giant angel covered in a mulitude of eyes, beams of light piercing through the skies.
'Hey there sis'
A young man with a youthful look to his purple eyes waved to a red haired girl who rolled her eyes in response before letting out a figment of a smile.
'You... Will die...'
A man cried tears of blood as behind him a purple circle appeared behind him, revealing an endless darkness with a myriad of dark eyes peaking through the portal.
'Fall enemies of mine'
An orb surrounded in rings floated above a man that was hovering in the sky, hoards of darkness hurtling towards the man
'I will have my revenge'
A limbless man glared at a woman that was holding him up with an unknown force, laughing like they had already won.
Feeling these fleeting fragments of memories blast through his minds eye, Glitch felt the flame in his heart burn brighter.
