Trauma

Trauma is a side villain in Spyman's Cosmos, as well as the main antagonist in the Cloak of Murk series.
==About ==
Trauma is an extremally deformed adult man. However, his features are hidden beneath a shadowy cloak and hat, beneath which only his glowing purple eyes can be seen. 
He is the Evil Academy's alumnus and Dr Rex's biggest school rival and bully, which is the only thing Dr Rex finds traumatizing from his Evil Academy years.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Trauma was most likely born in 1987 (as he's 2 years older than Dr Rex) in the USA. At one point of his life, he attended the Academy of Evil to study phobias and hypnosis. At some point, he met Dr Rex during his first day in the college. Trauma approached young Rex, mocked him for attending time physics classes and stole his book. It is unclear what happened next.
=== Cancelled Trauma origin story ===
After graduation with the title of Master of Hypnosis, Trauma learned, that his parents died in a car accident when he was studying. Disturbed by the news, Trauma moved to Oldice. After several years of crippling depression, he decided to donate himself as a subject for photon experiments, in desperate need for money.
The scientists responsible for executing the experiments first locked Trauma inside a sealed tiny booth, delivered a series of strong shock waves to the pain receptors on Trauma's facial muscles and then exposed him to Spectral Frequencies, a special light, that occurs between wavelenghts. The electrical shocks made him experience psychological trauma in form of memories of his parents, while the Spectral Frequencies strongly deformed his face leaving him nearly dead after the experiment was over. The scientist thinking Trauma was dead, disposed him wrapped in a garbage bag.
Now heavily deformed, Trauma was unable to get rid of his fears and attempted suicide multiple times, with each body deformation being a scar of each attempt. Though he wished for death, he was unable to die, which he realised when researching Spectral Frequencies. Living in his hometown's sewers, Trauma hid his body underneath a shadowy cloak and lived in the shadows of society. He also learned how to transfer his feelings of phychological traumas onto others.
At some point in his villanous career as "Trauma", he was recruited by BSoD to help him destroy both Dr Rex and Spyman's Cosmos.
