"What you feel and what you do, are those things really you? And if not, why?"
Mr. Capgras is, on the surface, an aggressive, skittish, and entirely avoidant man who’s not interested in being your friend. But below the surface.. he’s still aggressive, skittish, and avoidant. While he’s definitely smarter then he lets on, it doesn’t go to say much when he’s constantly under the influence of his caretaker, following his every word and demand.
Mr. Capgras, if he struggles with anything, struggles with being independent, and that’s exactly why you won’t see him far from the Doctor..
"You'll never take me alive, baby!"
Mr. Capgras' origins are as mysterious as he is, with no one but his estranged brother knowing who he truly is, or where he came from. However, from what little he has willingly elaborated on, he was homeless for an extensive period of time before arriving at the hospital. He often resulted to petty theft and burglary to get by, though he doesn’t seem too caught up about his crimes.
His past experiences with scarcity and desperation is the source of his skittish and possessive behavior, often getting into full-blown fights with others if he feels that he, his personal property or safety is threatened; unfortunately for him, he’s not someone with the foresight to try and talk it out first.
"Eulogy or biography, I'm who I wanna be, and that is god to me!"
Mr. Capgras wears his emotions on his sleeve, and the most prominent is his constant fear of replacement. Despite the irrationality of such a fear, he is convinced he is not the only him out there; that he has a series of doppelgängers that are insistent on taking his place, hurting him; but of course, that could never possible. Doppelgängers don’t exist, right?
Well, maybe his fear isn’t entirely unfounded. ;-)
