## Hystory

### Early Life

Frank is hereditary maniac. The father sincerely believed that his ancestor was Jack the Ripper himself, and the mother also went crazy to the cruelty of her husband. The father professed the ideology of his "ancestor", believing that people of the lower class, including drug addicts, the homeless, criminals and prostitutes, are not worthy of life. Therefore, when little Frank on Halloween caught his older sister having sexual intercourse with a neighboring boy, he immediately stabbed the girl under the pretext that she was a whore, and killed her companion because that witness. Both parents, having learned about the motives, were not saddened by the murder, but rather encouraged Frank for the "feat".

The father was killed by mother during a tantrum, and she, having taken possession of the entire fortune of O'Hysp Sr., began to open a hotel business. Frankly speaking, Frank graduated with honors from an educational institution. He graduated from the university, went to work in the financial sector, becoming a broker and investor. Soon he showed up to his mother in the office and stabbed him - before her death, she said that she was proud of her son because he took a desperate step. Having intercepted all the assets and money of his parents, Frank begins his philanthropic activities.

He left the hotel to work, but arranged a grand renovation, creating countless dead ends, traps and deaf rooms in order to carry out his murders. Among his other killing points was his own house, where he buried the bodies of victims in the backyard, and set aside an entire room for a collection of body parts from his victims. Soon, from reckless gutting, in order to more carefully hide his crimes, he discovered the method of "purification" - he keeps the victim captive, subjecting him to moral torture, and only with the condition of "correction" did he let the poor fellow go free. But since the main contingent of O'Hysp's victims were all the same people of the lowest grade, no one ever got out of his imprisonment.

Soon, becoming one of the richest people in the city, he began to cooperate with a certain Wolfgang Wolf, head of the LGNKR organization, which was engaged in illegal experiments on people, becoming one of the suppliers of experimental subjects. At the time of the encounter with Unknown, he owned a chain of restaurants, a couple of financial companies, an advertising agency, a law firm, a charitable organization, and corrupted most of the police.

## Personality

An aristocrat by nature, Frank is carefully monitored appearance, mannered, polite, pedantic, cold-blooded in his actions in everything - a clearly defined and calm speech. Despite the psychopathy, perfectly imitates emotions. In public, he built the image of a good-natured and cheerful person, in order to manipulate individual victims, he carefully studied their biographies, interests, etc., for which he developed many skills, showing himself to the common people as a very versatile and talented person. Victims that did not satisfy his hopes for correction, Frank kills and then prepares food from them - thus he is very addicted to human flesh. However, with his reputation ruined, his face mutilated by the Unknown, and nearly all of his assets and companies bankrupt, Frank lost his former restraint, turning into a vengeful, short-tempered, and utterly sloppy psychopath in his killings.

## Appearance

Frank is a young man of model appearance. Dark thick hair and deep brown eyes clearly distinguish him from other people of the upper class. As a The Ripper, he wears a dark green coat, gray pants, and boots. Inspired by images of Cthulhu, for which the entire lower part of the mask is cut in such a way that the flaps resemble tentacles, Frank sewed his mask from the skin of his victims, mainly the skin of the face, while leaving the flesh as a delicacy and often served to his guests at dinner parties or charity evenings, for this he acted as a supplier of products and gave out human flesh for beef.
