Herman Carter V2 || The Doctor || DBD

Trivia

The Doctor is a macabre representation of the classic mad scientist/doctor trope. His facial equipment is a reference to the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange. The Doctor seems to be inspired by Yang Yongxin, a controversial Chinese psychiatrist who used electroconvulsive therapy without anesthetics or relaxants on alleged internet addicts to "cure" them of their addiction. The Doctor was originally supposed to be Chinese with the name "Mu Yi", but the idea was scrapped and the developers went with the current African American depiction. This is also shown by the survivor that released with him Feng Min being a gamer which is what Yongxin "cures" Carter's background on MKAwakening is a reference to the real-life MKUltra project (1951-1971) conducted by the CIA involving unethical experiments on mind control and interrogation. The Doctor was the first Killer to be given a nickname/primary alias before coming to the Entity's Realm besides the menu showing it as an official name, with the second one being The Huntress. He was nicknamed "The Doctor" by the CIA for his twisted knowledge in torture. Besides ECT torture treatments, not much was known about what exactly happened to The Doctor's prisoners during and after interrogation. What had happened, however, was so horrifying it can only be known by how the prisoners begged to be taken to another interrogator except The Doctor. Whether he has earned a medical degree or doctoral degree is unknown. He is the first Killer to be a scientist, the second being The Skull Merchant. He is the second Killer to be a medical professional, the first being The Nurse

Biography

Herman Carter was a rather morbidly inquisitive man with an obsession of the human psyche and performing hands-on experiments. In his youth, he transplanted a mouse brain into a rabbit and would cause fights with his parents after performing song loop experiments on them. He was a star pupil among his teachers, good in high school, and published an article for a psychological gazette. One of his idols was a scientist named Lord Crag, whom performed cruel experiments on his patients. At Yale University, Carter and his lab partners began a group experiment on the good-doctor-bad-doctor interrogation at an old farmhouse, where he plays the Bad Doctor and the other plays the Good Doctor. Seeing as to how his lab partners were unfazed by typical mundane interrogation techniques, he took matters into his own hands by brutally torturing the Good Doctor classmate, brainwashing him into believing the other classmates are the Russian spies, which led to the Good Doctor murdering the other seven classmates with a spoon. Herman attempted to trick Blanchard into dismissing the incident as the Good Doctor student losing his mind, but Blanchard, upon looking at Carter's bloody handiwork, stated that entire interrogation was taped. It was revealed that the project was actually a front planned by the CIA to find an individual with the potential to go to worse lengths to gather knowledge. Impressed by his gruesome presentation, Herman became a vicious figure among the CIA, nicknamed as "The Doctor," as a lead scientist in Project MKAwakening, a program that developed torture methods to collect intel from prisoners. Herman was pupiled under the supervision of his mentor Otto Stamper at Léry's Memorial Institute, given the tools and knowledge he needed because after all...

knowledge is power. Although Stamper encouraged Carter's inhumane methods onto prisoners, the freedom to have power over mind control caused Carter to snap, killing or leaving everyone at Lery's in a broken vegetative state, including Stamper. His mentor was found in the most terrifying state of all the patients. His head had been peeled open and electrodes had been attached to his brain, which was somehow still in function despite being almost obliterated. Herman Carter was nowhere to be found,
