Origin

Born to affluence, Thaddeus Hoskins was a child prodigy. He graduated from M.I.T. by the age of fifteen and turned his gifted intellect towards science. An elitist and social reject, he committed himself towards developing a device for the military known as the Headman project. The concept behind the Headman was that the device could turn enemy soldiers into "cannon fodder". Although the theory was sound, the government never expanded beyond the project's planning stages. Hoskins took his work and decided to further develop it on his own.
