Frazier Lashley

**Frazier Lashley** is a key figure in the PROJECT corporation, serving as the head of their Cybernetics R&D division and overseeing all of its cybernetic warriors, responsible for dissecting them to pieces, and grafting them with machinery to transform them into killing machines. He is the only Aryan doctor to date to have been convicted of murdering his patients, but other doctors have been acquitted or convicted on lesser charges for comparable acts.

Because of his aforementioned occupation and duties, he has been a notable member of the megacorporation. As a result, Frazier is literally insane and a sadist, as he has expressed interest in transforming people into something less nevian and more of a cyborg killing machine. That is, until the megacorporation collapsed, leaving him with nowhere to go. Moving on to a new era, his scientific and cybernetic knowledge allowed him to become an instant member of the Societas Renegare. He met his end when the aforementioned society fell, then he was arrested and subsequently sentenced to death.

When he died, his corpse was simply left to rot and was soon decorated by rangers into a mossy hill, his corpse shrouded by plant life and sculpted text that explains everything about him, including his character, crimes and his wicked satisfaction of dissecting people apart to kill, or to experiment.

## Biography

### Background

Frazier Lashley was a wealthy child who grew up to become a doctor. After being married, his work progressed to become renowned, and he eventually became a surgeon due to his preoccupation with "opening up the flesh to find what's wrong," foreshadowing his gloomy path later on. By the year 2023, he had committed over thirty murders, which were suspected after a woman discovered a high death rate among Lashley's patients. She was particularly concerned about the enormous number of cremation paperwork for older women that he had had to be countersigned. Police were unable to discover enough evidence to indict him and ended the investigation on April 9 in the 21st century, forcing him to disappear.

In summary, he has evaded all arrest attempts in his serial killings. He is far more clever for a policeman to arrest him.

### Riots of 2999: Wicked Doctor's Chance

Reports even say that authorities cannot kill him with lethal injection, as Frazier has endlessly enhanced himself to allow for an extended lifespan; And every attempted arrest has failed, making him able to witness the rise of PROJECT. As the global series of riots have engulfed the planet, due to the megacorporation, Muldoon Lundgren was able to recognise him and quickly hired him, knowing that the CEO will give him the most wicked and thrilling opportunity ever. Due to his background as a serial killer that was never caught, Lundgren allowed him to perform dissections and live experiments to his candidates, should the program begin.

Knowing that the draft should have capable candidates, he only picks those that have exemplary backgrounds and exceptional abilities in various aspects. In fact, Lundgren's first chosen for him is a candidate named Baxter McIntyre, a Nordic warrior known for his brutality and rage, allowing Lashley to take advantage of him. His next candidate in the draft was Xavier Mulligan; A male witch who uses his vocal powers to defeat his opponents in combat, Which he tore out his vocal cords and duplicated it, all while transforming him into a cybernetic warrior.

Reports confirm that PROJECT was surprised by his efficiency, and approved of his brutal methods, particularly by dissecting the candidates into pieces and not giving them painkillers or sleeping pills to ignore the excruciating pain as cybernetics are grafted to their body, and their organs being meddled with. All in all, he has has successfully transformed 526 candidates into cyborgs, while the others have resisted, opted for an advanced armour and weaponry instead, much to his annoyance.

He even insists to Muldoon Lundgren that the non-cyborg warriors are likely to defect in the foreseeable future. Lundgren takes note of it, but did not inform anyone else.

### A Call to Arms

As a rebellion grows, PROJECT kept the G/NEX uprising and corporate defections secret from the general population through Lashley's. This encompassed the denizens of the Aryaine Kingdom in what was likely the first application of the recently introduced REBELLION CONTINGENCY. However, the CEO and Chairman, Muldoon Lundgren, was informed. As preparation for a wave of defections, Lundgren discreetly increased the readiness of the Command Line garrisons posted in the SUPREME headquarters and authorised limited communications blackouts under the guise of routine maintenance procedures. Unfortunately, these preparations would prove ineffective against the revolution itself.

One notable occasion is that he was almost able to dissect a candidate that would be later known as EQUINOX-612. He also failed to put them into sleep by the defectors as most of them are defying his methods, such as ASHE-159, FIONA-384 and SCYLLA-028. 384 however, was later controlled by him after he activated the Brain Regulation Microchip on her mind.

### PROJECT-G/NEX War

Despite the end of the Corporate Draft during the height of the war, Frazier Lashley performs his duties valiantly. As a result, he tirelessly researches and develops breakthroughs so that PROJECT has access to cutting-edge technology, something they hadn't done much before he joined. However, as the years passed, he was unable to prevent the defection of numerous warriors, forcing him to kill a few of them while requesting that the others be killed, regardless of how and when. This has no bearing on his job of supervising their cybernetic warriors in combat or when they are under maintenance.

God knows how angry he is now that the war has been lost. Angry that Wynona Achilles had been arrested and everyone had died, Frazier lived on the run from authorities, who had recognised him and his crimes after hiding from the Aryaine Kingdom for over a thousand years. However, he has been presumed dead, and he took advantage of this circumstance to make contact with PROJECT's remaining soldier, Gray Wolf.

### Bygone: The Uprising

#### New Generation of Heroes

Frazier was able to elude the authorities once more in the new era, and not even the new generation of heroes could stop him. In fact, after making contact with Gray Wolf, now known as Yellowjacket Wolf, which his efforts later allowed him to become an established member of a cult known as the Corporate Renegades. As the renegades' sole scientist, he is in charge of studying Aether and tampering with it in the hopes of refining its extraordinary power, while gleefully watching the innocent perish when a new war is declared against the heroes and the entire nevanity. He was overjoyed to see a group whose ultimate goal was to restore the megacorporation.

#### Operation: New Troubles

Lashley was active by studying Aether exclusively after discovering that Salazar Progektö had been infused by it. He was able to make tremendous advances in his research and studies because he wanted the renegades to give him solitude for work, allowing him to patent Aether for weapons, explosives, drugs, and ability enhancements. He has discovered a large deposit of the same thing in Avarshi, two locations with massive supplies of Aether, located at Vuraki and Na'Raka. Because the latter is located just outside their headquarters, he was able to observe an increasing amount of Aether that he can use to create wicked inventions.

Much to Frazier's dismay, Lunar Frost has destroyed 98% of the mined deposits that the renegades had loaded into the convoy. Angered by the news, he proposes sending EVEN MORE men to Vuraki in order to obtain far more Aether with a higher chance of success. For the time being, he works for Archibald Robotics' cybernetic warriors to expand S.O.L.A.C.E and the renegades' army. Templar Vanguard later has a confidential conversation with him as he discusses about the use of the crystal to improve their chances of invading the heroes' headquarters as they failed recently.

#### Brightblasting Adventure

Frazier decides to create more and more beasts enhanced by Aether to wreck havoc throughout the Aryaine Kingdom because he is unable to cope with the stress caused by an unending rise of heroes. His plan would have been successful if NEXTECH Man hadn't intervened and jeopardised their chances. Salazar Progektö inspires him to form an army because his extensive knowledge of Aether makes him more than capable of supporting the renegade cause even if he is not fighting on the front lines. Unlike the others, he was able to quickly deduce the true background of Lunar Frost, which he explains to Salazar the main reason why she can't be easily killed off.

#### Anti-Corporations

Frazier Lashley became infamous throughout *Anti-Corporations* for a lot of things, such as kidnapping hundreds of people for Archibald Robotics, collaborating with S.O.L.A.C.E to create mutant troops, adapting his intelligence for tactical genius, allowing him to analyse Night Breeze, aka Bloodlust's received intel regarding the heroes' subsequent operations, allowing him to give the Corporate Renegades a massive tactical advantage that resulted in two successful wins against the legion of heroes.

Despite losing their momentum when a killer robot was destroyed, he spoke to Yellowjacket Wolf about ANNIHILATOR. The latter responds that the planet is too ignorant to discover the Sublevels beneath their old headquarters that houses copies of the tyrant's body and his mind, dormant but not dead, contrary to the perception of nevanity that his consciousness is dead and erased forever.

#### Unshakeable Revelation

##### Prelude

Fascinated by their new superweapon after testing it on a mountaintop at Frostvile, Lashley declares that it is best positioned on top of the heroes' base, so that whenever the beam fires, they have a clear line of sight and the beam would decimate the building, killing everyone inside. Templar Vanguard notes his proposal as he operates the superweapon by infiltrating the Panamoan Republic alongside Salazar and they both have the controls in their fingertips. When renegades are rushing outside to deploy to the country, he gives a few of them Aether-powered ammunition, to add insult to injury should they destroy the enemy base for good.

##### Invasion - The Aftermath

Lashley celebrated the destruction of the heroes' base as the renegades and S.O.L.A.C.E entered it. The corporate forces then established an outpost to guard the ruins of the building and prevent local authorities and military from dealing with them, as their acts of war were far more effective than they anticipated. He was later invited to visit the base's wreckage as they all celebrated the heroes' supposed deaths. However, he used the opportunity to launch a plan devised by Salazar Progektö and Templar Vanguard. The plan was simple: cut ties with S.O.L.A.C.E., kill their personnel and use their mechas to take over the Northern lands and the entire planet if they succeeded in taking Frostvile.

##### The Next Warmother - Rising Threat

###### PROJECT Reunion, ANNIHILATOR's uprising

After a perfect opportunity, Frazier has managed to implant an explosive device embedded on SCODOK's brain implants, allowing to be easily concealed to the point of not being recognisable in the S.O.L.A.C.E leader's systems. Curious about the SUPREME headquarters, he travels to the exact location, using the elevator to traverse down Sublevel 19A, finding Yellowjacket Wolf in there. After shaking hands, he admits that he implanted an explosive on SCODOK, which the soldier approves of him, all while witnessing ANNIHILATOR's copies being assembled in the background, and he gazes upon the tyrant's dormant mind.

Frazier was given the opportunity to browse through the console. It turns out, the artificial intelligence known as the PROGRAM has been running the factory all along. Yellowjacket Wolf later shows him the code to unlock ANNIHILATOR's mind, in order to enact the renegades' true purpose against the planet: Restore PROJECT, no matter the methods. This includes their current actions as they activated the console to wake up ANNIHILATOR from his slumber.

The tyrant stated that he knew about the spare bodies, and thanked both of them as they revived him from a state of stasis. However, he instructs them to leave, knowing that he knew about the renegades' ultimatum. Both of them left in satisfaction, while Yellowjacket Wolf saluted before leaving.

###### In the Northern lands

Frazier later travelled to Avarshi through his request, As he makes his way to the Inner Haven, he comments to Salazar Progektö in the phone that their plan is ready, showing a photo-still of the explosive mounted on SCODOK's brain enhancement module. This means, the renegade leader gives him the authority to detonate it should they succeed on taking over Frostvile. As he made into the headquarters, he is surprised to see them recovering after something, which he pertains that it must be the Iceborn locals. Salazar then confirms that they are't just locals, but are true warriors.

Surprisingly, Frazier managed to survive the destruction of the Inner Haven, and managed to make his way to the "Ebony Haven", a far more hidden fortress that serves as the secondary base for the renegades in time that the original becomes destroyed or compromised. Salazar Progektö quickly pulls him to new base as Lidia Dionizy Napieralski is on the verge of taking a photograph of the secret base, but they managed to force her into a retreat after a failed attempt on killing him.

#### New Heroes, Another Ultimatum

As he prepares to observe everything that happens, Frazier hears the frightening LORD ANNIHILATOR declare his return to the Corporate Renegades, but he asks them to keep it to themselves, knowing that the planet is ready for any major threat, such as him. As the final battle of the fight between the new generation of heroes and the renegades approaches, one thing is certain: He is finished and having the time of his life.

However, his ignorance proved to be his downfall. As he fully relied on Phantom Wolf to do everything throughout the final battle, Frazier did nothing but to deliver intel, which proved to be initially useful, that becomes useless later on. But his worth on the renegades is still high, as he managed to unleash the mechas that Salazar has wished to destroy the Legionnaires, Clemirosans and the Panamoan military all at once.

### Downfall: Execution

When it all goes wrong, with Salazar Progektö presumably killed and Templar Vanguard imprisoned, he is later discovered by Panamoan soldiers, forcing him to flee the secret headquarters while laying sophisticated traps. As he perfectly adapts to the frigid environment, even going so far as to avoid dangerous wild life, he comes across a pit and makes contact with LORD ANNIHILATOR. The latter recognised his worth, but because he is not a soldier or mercenary, his worth to him is little to none, for which Frazier then enters an abandoned shed and rants, believing that the tyrant should respect him. All the while, it attracts a few Panamoan soldiers who are only a few hundred metres away from his location.

### Fate

He then runs away from the shed and sits on top of a wooden log after an exhausting series of runs. When Frazier picks up an Ice arrow, Panamoan soldiers emerge from the snow and surround him, putting an end to his hiding. Despite having a few tricks up his sleeve to disable their guns, one soldier shoots his hand, leaving him with no way of escaping and he is arrested. Frazier, like Salazar Progektö, has lost everything. The only difference is that Salazar is the leader of his evil society, whereas Frazier is merely a wicked scientist and torturer who dissects people in order to turn them into cyborgs, help in tactical matters and study Aether.

The Aryaine Kingdom's government has ordered Frazier's execution, which also served true justice for his serial killings and live experiments on regular people to become cyborgs. His execution took place on July 6th, and it was carried out via electrocution. However, due to his notoriety as a serial killer and a megacorporation doctor. Because the wardens on the G/ARCHIVE and the rest of the world couldn't agree on how to properly dispose of him, his corpse was shot by a firing squad. They were told to let his body rot until plant life consumed it and his body vanished.

This marks his demise, ending his terror at last.

## Personality

Frazier Lashley is an unstable man with accomplishments. He may be a skilled doctor and surgeon, but he quickly used those professions to commit heinous murders throughout his life, in fact, he is egotistical to the point where he became a serial killer, has the audacity to mock that the country Aryaine Kingdom throughout history lacked any serial killer but him. When he became hired by the megacorporation known as PROJECT hundreds of years later, he was secretly augmenting himself to stay alive, and has a desire to mutilate people. This made him the prime leader of the Corporate Draft, while Wynona Achilles abducts the candidates, he transforms them into cyborgs when desired.

Although a mastermind, Lashley was well aware of his own physical frailty. Due to his lack of strength, he took extreme measures to ensure he couldn't be physically harmed by any of the cybernetic warriors that he placed upon them, as seen mostly by the use of an electro taser lock that he implanted in each warrior, which was quickly disabled by some. As the fight progresses and he is exposed, his cowardice reveals that he is not quite as tough as he appears to be.

Lashley had an extreme lack of empathy and was a textbook psychopath, only caring for himself and obsessing over total control, and saw the people around him merely as expendable tools, including children, having no sympathy or care for the consequences of his nevian trafficking, including the lives of the hundreds of people that he stole to be subjected to the horrors of being a cybernetic warrior under his watch.

What he lacks in compassion for the sick and regard for nevian dignity, the sadistic Lashley makes up for with an endless supply of giant blades and a trembling enthusiasm for plunging them into exposed flesh as he creates cyborgs. Dr. Cybernetics was raised in Beethoven, Aryaine Kingdom during a time when the Hippocratic oath had been reduced to an optional Hippocratic suggestion, and he regards healing as an unintended side effect of satisfying his own morbid curiosity.

## Abilities

Frazier Lashley has no powers. Instead, he relies on his intelligence to prove himself; He is a wicked doctor, not a warrior. He is the most hated person in the regular ranks of PROJECT, knowing that he is responsible for most cyborgs and torturing their candidates; Through live experiments and dissections, which is all for their transformation into cybernetic warriors.
