Jonathan Crane

Fear is an interesting thing. It keeps us from acting suicidal and stems idiotic urges, keeps children from misbehaving, and keeps people in line. It's through fear that the greatest emperors and conquerors have ruled. It was how I intended to make my own mark on history. Imagine, being given the opportunity that I was; holding a city to ransom, anything and everything for the taking. Control through fear that would put the power of Falcone's 'Roman Empire' to shame. But I'll admit, it wasn't just the power or the wealth that caught my attention; it was the use of fear itself. As a child, I was often exposed to fear and as such, found myself being fascinated by it. And as a result, sought to master. And master it I did. Using my knowledge of psychopharmacology and the resources available to me through my coworkers, I created a hallucinogenic, the likes of which the world had never experienced. Not only that, I was in charge of testing the compound. Picture, for a moment, holding a weapon in your hands that could make your greatest enemies cower before you like children, making the greatest and most feared individuals in Gotham scream and break from the visions you make them see, a symphony of screams announcing your presence as you make your way through the streets. Now I think you can understand why I did what I did. Fear is power, and I am the Master of Fear.
