Cynetia/Shawn Dersin

Shawn Dersin was a criminal from Cynetia most known for causing the Greater Drivore Mall Bombing.
== Personal Life ==
Shawn Cuttham Dersin was born to William Eisner Dersin and Leah Elizabeth Dersin on June 5th, 1943 in Riverton, Greater Drivore, Cynetia. He was an only child and his family was poor at his birth, but they slowly made their way to riches. In 1962, he moved out of his parents' house and bought a house in Wallosia for half a million dollars, before moving back to the Drivore area, this time, in Drivore itself. By 1964, he met Loraine Mider Schmett, and they married in 1965. Friends of Loraine reported that Loraine described Shawn as highly abusive and out of control. They suspect this was the reason she committed suicide by gunshot on March 19th, 1966, while she was pregnant with what would have been their first child. Friends described that before that morning, Loraine came crying asking if she was still loved by them. Shawn heard the news of her suicide and was outraged. On March 27th, 1966, Shawn came to a convenience store in Drivore with a knife and stabbed the cashier to death. Customers, seeing the scene, attempted to tackle him, before he shot them fatally. Police got the call and attempted to catch Shawn, but he disappeared mysteriously without a trace.
"I don't want to go to prison. I don't want to be rehabilitated to learn, I don't want to be punished to learn. I just want to keep doing what I'm doing without some method of teaching."
Shawn was connected to a crime on April 8th, 1966 when two women were found in a dumpster in Drivore without their breasts, completely cut off and disposed elsewhere, as well as several other stab wounds and a knife tying their hair together. This was considered one of Drivore's more bizarre and disturbing crimes. Police connected it to Shawn by November 1966, and on November 12th, when police cars and officers were scouting the city, Shawn fired shots from the top of a skyscraper and into the streets below. One shot hit a police car's windshield, distracting the officer, making him crash into a street lamp. Shawn was now under watch, and a nationwide manhunt was sent by Cynetia. Drivore was told to "be wary for this intense criminal", and the rest of the area was warned as well. On November 14th, Shawn dyed his hair blonde and shaved off his facial hair as he was entering the Drivore International Airport. He scanned a forged passport under the name "Thomas Evans" and took a flight to the Mastistan Capital International Airport in Jesova, Mastistan. Shawn then walked away from the airport and stole a car parked outside of an abandoned business close by. He took a chair from this abandoned business and broke the window of the car. When the car owner, Leso Kimer, came back to the scene, he attempted to fight Shawn, but failed. His car keys were stolen and Shawn drove off to a remote village in Western Mastistan known as Kentober, living in a vacant house without paying.
Meanwhile, in the city of Jesova, Leso was calling Jesova police, notifying of a man who stole his car and drove off. He was described as a man with a "round head and short blonde hair". Police searched all throughout the Jesova area with no answers. Then, on December 1st, 1966, airport staff found that several men who fit that description left the airport, but there was one man on their highest suspicions list. Perriene Johnson worked as airport security at the Drivore International Airport. Perriene checked in a man named Thomas Evans, who on first look, seemed to have a reliable passport, but after piecing everything together in her mind, the passport seemed as though it was forged. She yelled "sir" several times with no response, the man didn't turn around, so she just gave up in frustration. The security guards around her were confused, she replied "it's probably nothing, maybe I was worried for nothing". But after Perriene pieced together the time his flight arrived in Jesova compared to the time he stole Leso's car, they seemed to fit. This was now a bigger mystery than Leso expected, but nobody could truly identify who Thomas Evans was. It was all over the news in Mastistan, including in Shawn's home. He quickly outfitted himself with a fake beard, and dyed his hair red, leaving the village of Kentober and driving north. Past the mountains, he made it to Wilieres, which was another village northeast of Bensha. It was close enough to Cynetia for when he wanted to be there again, but far enough away so Cynetian law enforcement can't find him. He murdered two men and one woman from 1967-1973.
Eventually, on March 8th, 1974, one Cynetian investigator, Zachary Hines, had a shocking suspicion that the "Thomas Evans" who entered Jesova was connected to Shawn Dersin, because of the manhunt they launched on him not long before Thomas Evans entered Drivore International Airport, stating that he very likely changed his appearance and wanted to escape the country. Zachary notified Masa law enforcement that Shawn was hiding somewhere in their country, but it wasn't likely to be Jesova. While he was walking throughout Bensha, checking if there was a weak business to rob, a suspicious resident by the name of Storis Inver, who also worked as an investigator, took a picture of him without Shawn knowing. Storis thought that his face looked too similar to Shawn Dersin's. Eventually, Storis compared two pictures of him. One taken by his ex-wife Loraine (provided by the Drivore Police Department), and the picture Storis took on his own accord. They looked far too similar, and Storis notified the police, including the license plate of the car he stole from Leso. 
On the night of March 9th, Shawn was driving back home to Wilieres. Police found that the license plate he had matched the stolen car, and they trailed him. Shawn noticed the flashing lights and sirens and attempted to speed away on the mountain road. Police were getting closer. Eventually, Shawn crashed into a pine tree and tried to run off. Police ran and caught up to Shawn, picking him up, putting him down, and then handcuffing him. Shawn attempted to fight back, which provoked one of the officers to beat him, and the other officers surrounding Shawn told the officer to stop. Eventually, Shawn was sent to the Jesova Area Correctional Facility in Biles. In prison, he met Masa drug lord, Marv Borgunam, who had been arrested in December 1973 for possessing several large bags of cocaine and weed in his home. Shawn would always talk really nicely to Marv and tried to start a platonic partnership with him. Marv enjoyed Shawn and hearing about his stories. He saw a friend in Shawn, but Shawn saw a distraction in Marv. 
On the evening August 13th, 1974, Shawn and Marv initiated one of their many escape plans, which was successful. "I don't quite remember how I escaped, it was all a blur, but damn, that was pretty fun," reported Shawn when talking to police in October 1986. They got out as the sky was getting dark. Shawn told Marv to drive all the way to Western Mastistan, take as much drugs as he can, and drive in a truck back to Biles, undetected by police. Marv happily accepted, and realized this was needed for Shawn, but not how it was needed for Shawn. Shawn had expected Marv to fail, and just wanted a distraction for police while he went into hiding in Northern Cynetia. Marv made it all the way to Western Mastistan and smuggled as many drugs as all that can fit in his stolen truckbed. Halfway through the drive, police caught up with Marv. Realizing he couldn't escape, he drove off the highway on the cliffside, and his truck came rolling down, killing him.Hiuyju suggested the drug chase and the connection to Shawn Dersin. Meanwhile, Shawn was already driving in another stolen car to the Cynetian mountains, this time, with the license plate taken off. In the years from 1974-1986, Shawn caused more terrible murders and robberies while living in a mountain village in Pluseque, Cynetia known as Carbarage, but there was one more crime he had been planning for years that would cause international terror.
=== Greater Drivore Mall Bombing and Fatal Prison Visit ===
On the night of September 15th, 1986, Shawn Dersin dyed his hairs to his natural-born color, as he felt he can truly show himself in this terrible crime and run away from the chaos he caused. By the morning of September 16th, at around 7:00, Shawn woke up and outfitted himself with a hat, and hid his bombs in a backpack while hiding his gun in a guitar case. He drove all the way to his old hometown of Riverton and targeted the Greater Drivore Mall, the second busiest mall in the entire capital area. The mall was rather new, opening in May 1979. Shawn walked throughout the building attempting to seem unsuspicious. As he was nearing the second floor food court of the mall, mall security noticed he was Shawn Dersin himself and ran after him. He sprang into action, detonating the first bomb at 11:56, killing Kai Leson, Bart Hinden, and Tom Scale. The security guards were highly injured and looked on in confusion, one of them lost an arm in the blast. During this chaotic event, an unknown mall-shopper took pictures of Shawn and dropped them on the ground. Sara Jailee ran up the stairwells to the fourth floor in panic and jumped off the balcony. Cara White attempted heroism when she ran out of the mall trying to get help, but Shawn shot her fatally, and he went back into the building while she was lying dead on the concrete outside. By 12:03, the city of Riverton went under full lockdown lasting for an hour. Shawn ran up to the third floor, bombing and shooting thirteen more human victims, and one dog who was working on security duty. In total, eighteen people died and so did one dog. 36 more were injured, and the damage cost $80M to repair. 
Shawn escaped out of the city, going back to Carbarage while Cynetia was trying to grasp this unforeseen disaster. Riverton Police found the dropped images from earlier and realized this was indeed Shawn Dersin. The pictures were sent to the Cynetian government and they launched another nation-wide manhunt. Eventually, residents in Carbarage realized his pictures from the 1960s, 1970s, and from during the bombing matched with one of their residents and reported Shawn to police. They found him by October 4th, 1986 and drove him to the Burnabian Complex. In a low quality video taken by another policeman, one of the officers appeared to pull a gun on Shawn before an officer next to him knocked the gun out of his hands, saying they needed to keep him alive. In the Burnabian Complex, before taking Shawn's mugshot, he was reported saying "I did what I needed to do" before his iconic, smug smile. He followed it with "I can admit to every single crime I've ever done. Right here, right now, I don't care." In a recorded interview, police discussed with Shawn about his life and criminal record. They found shocking details never revealed before, and the October 1986 interview was spread throughout Cynetia and other countries surrounding. Shawn spoke Anglese throughout the entire interview, with only a confused and frantic police officer rambling in Cynetian. After admitting everything, he followed it with "Yeah, I've done a lot, but I'm not done yet. I plan to get out of this damn place and commit even more." 
They quickly took him away by force to his cell where he remained for the rest of his life. Shawn lived rather normally, but was considered a "violent prisoner". Many of the other inmates hated having him around as he would always cause fights and other forms of violence. Because he didn't appear to improve under rehabilitation, he was moved to punishment methods. On January 7th, 1987, Matthew Jailee, husband of Sara Jailee, requested to see Shawn Dersin for a "friendly visit". When Shawn was pulled forward, Matthew pulled out a gun and shot him several times. "(Translated) MY WIFE IS DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU," he yelled while breaking down into tears and shooting him. Police pulled him away and put him down. "(Translated) STOP IT, STOP IT! HE DESERVES IT!" Matthew was jailed in nearby Riverbend as Shawn died in the Burnabian Complex. This was met with controversy. Some said Matthew's retaliation was justified and Shawn could have escaped again if he wasn't shot. Eventually, Matthew escaped in June 1987 to care for his new girlfriend, and police decided not to jail him again. "(Translated) Nobody can ever replace my wife, but there are still some people out there who need to be cared for." Since Shawn's death, security in prison visits increased. Reactions were a mix of shock that someone killed him so easily, thankfulness that he wasn't there to cause any other tragedies, and trauma from the terror he caused in the places he roamed.
== Impact ==
After Shawn Dersin's death, Live History Cynetia worked on Dersin: The Making of a Killer, released on October 19th, 1990, the most popular adaptation of Shawn Dersin's life. On September 16th, 1991, a memorial for the Greater Drivore Mall Bombing was unveiled in the main parking lot.
