I Have Beaten Dispatch 3 Times, and I See a Little Too Much of Myself in Shroud

Quick aside, my favorite Dispatch characters are Invisigal, Chase (Jeffrey Wright), Malevola (Alanah Pearce), Golem (Yung Gravy), and Sonar (MoistCr1TiKaL). But yeah, it’s pretty messed up to see myself in a villain like Shroud. Shroud believes that the core of humanity is evil, and yet he still looks up to true heroes like Blond Blazer…Listen, I didn’t realize the poignancy of my writing that Blond Blazer was an aspiration until I wrote that description of Shroud. Shit. Okay. Back at it. He thinks only in terms of control, which is why he enhances Red Ring members, so he can leash and direct their evil. He seems like a methodical man, whose only driving factor is just knowing what could happen, but push come to shove, he is subject to the chaos of life too (and can’t stand it). His power is predictions, based on various calculations, and he knows it is limited. That frustrates him more, the fact that he can’t know everything, and the fact that knowing sometimes doesn’t help him. He doesn’t want to predict; he wants to know. Losing control can send him into a breakdown, which is what serves as the nail in his coffin. And we’re going to explore all these facets of Shroud, and also me?
