Doctor Dent

**Ferdinand Albert Dent PHD** (Rotterdam, April 5 1990) better known as **Doctor Dent** is the current bassist of The Traveling Psycho Ward

**Early years**

Although much is still unknown, Dent is said to have been growing up in the city center of Rotterdam, the Netherlands as the son of a pharmacist father and musician mother (drummer of ''Je moeder en de broodroosters''). Developing into a school dropout, Dent started a partying lifestyle while consuming a lot of uppers that he would steal from his fathers stock. He would develop a high sense of sensitivity, high voice and fast way of talking because of the abuse over the years that would follow. After his family found out he was presented with the choice to either buckle down and get a job or leave his family. After several unsuccessful try's to find a job he forged a fake college degree to get a job at the state's psych ward as a doctor. After being asked to do a night shift with an entire department alone, Dent was found the next day on the ground traumatized and laying as a fetus. To this day, only the members of The Traveling Psycho Ward know what happened to him on that faithful night.

## Appearances

### Debut

The Popcentrale disaster of 2018

Turning into somewhat of the bands bitch,Dent was send with them during the groups Famous monster shows as a legal guardian and bassist, and so he debuted with the group during The Popcentrale disaster of 2018. During the plans to break out, the group asked Dent to leave his profession and become the bassist for the band that was to be formed after the escape. Dent refused, got laughed at, knocked out and to woke up in the warehouse of abandoned treasures later on. Ever since then he had little to nothing to say about his own plans.

**Re-formation, Tours.**

During ''The news item on DNN news'' where the groups just broke out and announces to tour with their new name ''THE TRAVELING PSYCHO WARD'', Dent attempts to take the lead as the band's spokesperson while the rest of the group attacks the anchor man. While he reads trough a statement in high panic, Cleaving Cleatus takes over his position and finishes the announcement and so sets the tone for future treatment on Dent's behalf. The more the group developed (in many times because of Dents efforts), the less attention and respect is left over towards him. The only exception seems to be whenever they play live, when the groups is more of a solid unity. Besides the general ignoring, the group has developed a tradition of throwing him into the water whenever he starts asking questions, or is just perceived as annoying by the group. This tradition started in the ''A very special acoustic session'' video.

Dent (together with Le marquis and Kev insane) played every Traveling psycho ward and Famous monsters show so far. He also appears in ''A very special acoustic session'', the ''Cleaving Cleatus stonecold moonshine commercial'', the ''Bark at the moon, a quarantine video'' and ''The Sintercleatus special delivery'' and the first episode of #TTPWADVENTURES, ''What the ?!?''. He also released several bass cover video's of several songs from the set list and so far has been present during every FREAK OUT GAME STREAM episode.

**Personality**

Doctor Dent is basically always nervous and almost never stops talking with his high pitched voice. He runs around and seems to over think everything to an ex stand that is beyond reason, and mostly approaches everything in a pessimistic way. His short memory also seems to have suffered a huge blow, since is always convinced that his band mates are willing to hear his concerns and will help him with his problems (which off course, they are not and will never). He does, however, hold a dog-like sense of loyalty towards the group and always tries to be the glue factor whenever something goes wrong or has to be organized. Some people have compared him with Meg Griffin from Family guy , and argued that his position within the band as annoying and whining bitch might be the quarter stone that keeps the whole thing together. Others just laugh at the theory and throw him in the nearest lake of harbor just so he doesn't get used to the idea of being important.On stage an energetic and enthusiastic player, not necessarily a very good one tough.
