About Bedbug
Bedbug
Bedbug named himself after a species of insect in the Cimidae family of arthropods. While relatives of this species like the Batbug became extinct in the 21st century, the Bedbug managed to survive well into the 2090s due to their versatility in human homes and in large part because of an accident regarding the release of genetically modified Bedbugs by the Asclepius Corporation in a clandestine scheme to convince consumers to purchase their new formula of all-purpose pesticide, which had lost purpose ever since the extinction of the House Cockroaches over three decades ago. This would backfire, leading to the resurgence of a pest that the human race thought they eradicated for good. Likewise, Bedbug is affiliated with the Intellans, the organization of the enlightened. Much like his namesake insect, the Executive Division thought they had wiped out all the Intellans through a series of assassinations against their key members, when in actuality they had merely used the Executive Division's assault on their organization to lay low until they found the coveted 4th Variable, a Mecharus created using the Biotechnological Fabrication process perfected through experimentation on the half-dead Interns three quarters of a century prior that had also developed Specter Mutations.
More notably, these insects are known for their tendency to feast on the blood of their hosts whilst they are asleep and unaware. Likewise, Bedbug has a habit of waiting for his marks to fall asleep before extracting the memories of his victims. This is because Bedbug finds a helpless victim with valuable memories more worth his time over an aware victim with valuable data that can fight back.
- Mahagony Chinches (Name used by Bedbug whilst in hiding from the Executive Division. He stole this from a dead Scrapper from the Surveillance Database. Bedbug used the alias to evade the detection of PentaCorp's algorithms and maintain his cover for the Science Division as a black market trades dealer before blowing his disguise once he found the 4th Variable.)
