He had ulterior motives for using Alcatraz. He seems proud of being the prison's warden. To communicate with his God, the Warden sacrificed a drop of his own blood by cutting himself. This showed that he was willing to harm himself to communicate with his God. He then began drawing pentagrams in blood, and even began sacrificing both Alcatraz prisoners and guards. His workers, eventually he showed signs of losing hope. Believing the occult was false. And he planned to awaken the island with or without the help of the Illuminati.

Not much is known about the man who would eventually become Brutus, what is known is that he was born in New Jersey. And at some point he joined the DOJ. First as a detective, but he rose through the ranks and was responsible for the construction of the Alcatraz Federal State Penitentiary.

## The Occult

After several delays from the DOJ, the Warden managed to get the island of Alcatraz Prison open a year early, the DOJ believed that the Warden would use the island for what it's purpose was, a prison for criminals. However, the Warden had ulterior motives that were not known at all to the Department of Justice. Shortly after the opening of the island, the Warden took a interest in occultism. He began studying occultist subjects and topics like hidden wisdom, extrasensory perception, magic, astrology and spiritualism. The Warden in an attempt to communicate with his God sacrificed a drop of his own blood. However this did not work, he was confused. He made real in flesh and blood every interpretation by every scholar. He had begun to draw pentagrams on the prison's walls, and even had begun to sacrifice Alcatraz's prisoners and guards to try and communicate with his God. But each time he tried ended in failure. the Warden became pessimistic, and started beginning to believe none of this existed, and decided he'd awaken the island himself with or without the help of the Illuminati.
