When the company needs a new idea to mirthlessly commit to paper, they turn to Trevor Chase, because he's the only person at the company capable of divorcing himself from the litany of bad ideas and worse games that populate the roster of Failed Industry Attempts. An idiosyncratic bundle of weird fetishes and freakish tastes, Trevor nonetheless creates great games, most of which go completely over the heads of the slack-jawed cretins who buy these things. His latest magnum opus, Deviant, contained a compelling backstory and a critical look at late-era cultural mores, designed to look into what people would do if they possessed near-divine powers. When that game hit stores, however, it became painfully obvious that people would just put on capes and slug the super-powered shit out of each other, just as they have always done in comic books. After all, why bother thinking about it - that's hard! Let's fight.
Trevor was found dead in his office two weeks ago, the victim of a self-inflicted pistol wound to the head. Blood and brains stained his otherwise pristine "2 Hot Nation of Harlem Ghetto Posse Gangst Experience" T-shirt.

"Everyone in this damn building is going insane. I don't think it is normal business conduct to get into screaming matches with your employees when they don't want to work overtime anymore. Something is seriously wrong here."
