[WP] You were a very powerful villain. You were defeated, causing you to lose most your powers and memories. Your pathetic form is found by a group of young, ingenious wannabe heroes who take you under their wing. One day your lost memories and strength return, but you don't want to be evil anymore.

[WP] A wrongfully executed ghost haunts you, a famous detective, demanding you uncover the truth about their case. It's a bit difficult since the real murderer did so well even the ghost doesn't know who it is... and because you are the killer.

[EU] You are a not quite insane, but pretty eccentric wizard, whose hobby is creating weird magic objects or creatures. Many of your creations have been disappearing for a long time, but now you've finally found the culprit - an organization called "The SCP Foundation".
