Jhonen C. Vasquez is one of the villains of Reaper Dayz. Despite only appearing for 3 chapters in total, he is considered the comics "true main villain". As he is responsible for Doctor Steel's past violent actions and intentions by manipulation. Because of Steel's connection to Dante, said actions caused him to physically transform into "The Nightmare King". Which is what Dante is known today.

Due to humans being seen as the "inferior" species of planet Petra. Jhonen was never given respect and could only get into labor jobs. For years he worked in a factory that manufactured products and inventions that were approved by the kingdom's Great Inventors. Like anyone else, he didn't like his job, but due to his narcissism and belief that he is superior to everyone else, he would rebel against guidelines and do whatever he sees fit. Because of this he was often punished, but couldn't be fired since employment for humans at the time was at an all-time low.

During one of his punishments where he and a few others had to light all the lamps individually for the night, he stumbled upon Doctor Steel who was on his way to see Devi. During their conversation, Jhonen realized how oddly empathetic and understanding he was towards him. They both noticed that they shared similar opinions on how the kingdom was run but this wasn't fully realized until the conversation ended.

One day, Jhonen was about to receive punishment from officials during work but Steel happened to be there and apologized for Jhonen's actions and asked to let him off. Since Steel was considered one of their bosses, they did what they told and left Jhonen alone. Jhonen became flustered and said that he would return the favor.

When the Councilor's ignorant behavior became apparent and harmful, Steel would sometimes meet Jhonen in secret to share his issues with them since talking about them in such a way openly would get him fired. However, Steel would eventually get caught and be fired. Jhonen quit his job right after to be with him.

Jhonen told Steel that he would be able to gain an advantage over the humans who lived in the underground city since he believed that Steel could convince them that he would change the kingdom for the better and in a way that will benefit them. However, he told him that in order to do so, he'll have to kill their current leader by lying to him that he won't allow him to convince the people because he would think that Steel would corrupt them. Steel truly believed what he had to do was right, so after introducing himself to the human leader, he killed him and took over the city.

Surprised that Steel believed him, Jhonen discovered that he could use him to get closer to what he wanted and since Steel is known to be powerful, this made the process much easier and faster. Over time, Jhonen would manipulate him into becoming violent by telling him "Great changes require great sacrifices". Doctor Steel became violent and cruel by nature because of this. This made him widely feared and gaining all the credit for what he has done even though Jhonen was the one pulling the strings.

Jhonen became in contact with a kind of substance known as "Devil's Light". How he came in contact with it is unknown, but he soon discovered that it can infect people if stared directly into it. He came up with an idea to use it experiment on people he didn't like or on those he sees fit. He created blueprints for a handgun that could transfer the Devil's Light onto people, but Steel discovered this and told him not to continue his work. Jhonen didn't listen to him and continued in secret.

## Trivia

* (Obviously) Jhonen is based on comic artist *Jhonen Vasquez*

* Shares a similar design with Invader Jhonen
* The ray gun he uses is the same kind that wall guards use, but it is unknown if he built it himself or stole it
* His main purpose was to be the complete opposite of Invader Jhonen, and possibly Doctor Steel
* Originally, he was going to have two separate guns, one for combat and the other for the Natural State, but I still don't know if we are going to stick with the original concept or stay with what we have now
* "Natural State" and its side effects might be a reference to the "Night Howlers" from the 2016 Disney Film, *Zootopia*
