Background

Bram Lewis was the warden at a youth prison during a series of a bizarre attacks conducted by a fearsome entity known as The Monster. Eventually the Wizard and his sidekick Roy managed to uncover the truth – Warden Lewis was conducting horrific experiments on young people, draining their youth in an attempt to extend his own. Lewis had previously been both a scientist and a child psychologist – his position at a local university ended when it was discovered that he was performing experiments upon unwilling teenagers. Lewis believed that if you instilled fear into an individual and then drained their blood, you would end up with a life-extending formula. Given that his victims ended up looking like wizened old men, it seems that his process worked. He was capable of extreme cruelty and showed a willingness to kill anyone that threatened his position.

Lewis wears The Monster costume to terrify his enemies but I think it might be fun to say that the formula he used might have actually transformed him into this appearance. It’s your call since it’s your campaign, after all!
