About

Contents

Former patient at Saint Jude's Mental Hospital. Not committed to the hospital, he checked-out when a lawyer notified him that he had inherited a large sum of money. His stay at the hospital was covered by an older military insurance policy that was considered uncommon. Lane is considered hyper-emotive and believed to suffer from paranoid delusions. He thinks he had been recruited as a child for top-secret experiments that would prepare him to be a soldier in a coming war.

Reported to have been treated with Cortexiphan as a child in Jacksonville, Florida. During the experimental drug in his youth, he was paired with Olivia, who he refers to as Olive. His psychic bond with her enables him to project his criminal, and sexual, acts in to her mind as he is committing them. His desire to terminate his life appears to be the reason he drew Olivia to his recent murders, aka. Suicide By Cop.

His known murders include a young mother thrown in front of train, influencing a woman to stab her husband during a meal in a restaurant, slitting the throat of a dancer after an intimate encounter, and forcing a woman to leap from a tall building.

Lane is familiar with the ZFT Manifesto and wears the black and gray clothing (uniform) of a recruit.

Quotes
