Dr. Eugene Krauser

Dr. Eugene Krauser is the head scientist of the Indigo Syndicate, and former head scientist of The Republic's Intelligence Agency. He is said to be the apprentice of the Radioactive Uber Clan's Dr. Zitbag, but this is a fabrication that Eugene agreed to spread in order to boost Zitbag's standing.

(etc etc)

## Career Under the Intelligence Agency

It is unknown when Eugene first joined The Republic's Intelligence Agency, but his first report was written sometime in x/xx/xx. He quickly rose to prominence within the Agency's science division, developing many drugs, serums and technology for use by the Agency and The Republic's Military.

He also ran and oversaw many experiments (etc etc) of dubious nature.

### The Inhibitor Chips and the Loyalty Program

Eugene developed the Inhibitor Chips, which are microchips that are implanted into a person's brain as a means to control them. They are capable of not only mind-control, but also memory replacement as well. These are most commonly used to brainwash people into working for the Indigo Syndicate, The Republic, or affiliates. They also come equipped with a detonator, which will explode and kill the victim should any attempt be made to remove it.

Eugene was the also the person responsible for establishing The Republic's Loyalty Program. Stated to be a program for developing the perfect loyal subjects for The Republic. Many details of the inner-workings of the program are kept hidden from the public. What little information that can be gathered suggests that the Inhibitor Chips play a role in it, and the fact that Sewk is the first non-human to be put through it.

## The Indigo Syndicate

Some time after Dr. Jeffery Hans's resignation from the Agency, (etc etc)

[etcetc]

Unlike most members of the syndicate and the RUC, when it comes to their propaganda, he's well aware that they are all blatant lies, sharing this status with a few other members of the syndicate who aren't high off their own supply of propaganda. Regardless, he actively perpetuates them, as they help advance their goals.

One of the more "whimsical" members of the Syndicate, nothing ever seems to faze Krauser, who just always has a smile of amusement on his face. Whether he's conducting horrifying experiments, Syndicate troops get killed, or Popeye Jr. wets himself again, he's always smiling and laughing. Yes, even if something is actively harming the Syndicate he finds it amusing. The only time he's shown any ounce of seriousness was when Popeye Jr. was nearly about to hand over the keys to the entire Navy Tower to Ashe, in which Eugene and Lazlo stepped in to convince him not to. He seems to show a grave seriousness when anything threatens to take Jenny out of his grasp, as he has a particular interest in the mysterious disease she has. His secret projects also warrants the same expression from him.

While Lazlo is constantly frustrated by Popeye Jr's incompetence, Eugene finds his antics to be very amusing. In fact, he finds most of the syndicate's antics, bizarre behavior, and over the top propaganda to be amusing, enough that part of the reason he stays under their employ is because he's just too entertained to leave. In the event that, say, Popeye Jr., his employer, gets himself killed through overconfidence/stupidity, Eugene would still find that absolutely hilarious.

## Activities/Experiments

Eugene spends most of his time in the Navy Tower, conducting (etc).

Despite being a member of the Indigo Syndicate now, he also regularly communicates with his old colleagues at the Agency.

## Evaluation

Eugene is not particularly one for direct combat, instead designating his drones and brainwashing experiments to do the fighting for him instead. Nevertheless, unlike the likes of Jafar or other RUC "scientists," his contraptions are at least functional. In fact, one could even say that he's the only reason any of the syndicate's technology works at all. One should take care not to be swarmed by too many of his minions at once. He's very much as psycho as one would expect, so be prepared for whatever he may have up his sleeve.
