## Biography

### Early life

*"He went to Heritage Christian School since he was six, where teachers told the kids what kind of music they're not supposed to listen to. And he fell in love with such music."*
―Charles Hugh[src]
Brian Hugh Warner was born in Canton, Ohio in the United States of America on January 5, 1969. As a child, he attended Heritage Christian School from the age of six, during which time his instructors tried to show children what music they were "not supposed" to listen to; Warner then fell in love with such music. Warner later transferred to GlenOak High School starting in tenth grade. After relocating to Florida with his parents, he became a student at Broward Community College.

### Musical career and impact on society

*"His name's actually created by fusing Charles Manson and Marilyn Monroe. Cool, right?"*
―Charles Hugh[src]
Brian Hugh Warner began his musical career in 1989. His stage name was formed by juxtaposing the names of two American cultural icons, namely a sex symbol named Marilyn Monroe and a conspiratorial serial killer named Charles Manson. In the 2000s, Roxanne Waterston was a fan of Manson's music. He released "Disposable Teenagers" in 2004. In 2013, Marilyn Manson met Luke Norris, a young fan of his.

In 2022, Charles Hugh became a fan of his. Valiera Nelson had already been one for an undisclosed period of time. Steven Thompson, however, is less charitable in his regard for him, considering his music to be "weird". In 2041, Tori Newell was a fan of his as well, citing that he was one of the best musicians of all time, something Captain Strength agreed with.

## Personality and traits

*"A man of many talents with a heart of gold, what's there not to love?"*
―Brian[src]
Marilyn Manson is a tall, slender, and beautiful middle-aged man. It isn't easy to properly gauge his persona, seeing as he has only been seen from afar by his loyal fans as of now, but he seems very knowledgeable and versatile, as he specializes in songwriting, performing, painting, journalism, and several other practices. Manson is also friendly, greeting his fan Luke Norris with warmth and affability.

## Trivia

* His songs "Disposable Teenagers" and "Coma White" are both featured in *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*. Previously, "Disposable Teenagers" was also featured in *Band of Justice*.
* There was a rumor that Manson may have a part to play in the *Vault of Ages* trilogy, which later turned out to be true.
