Bio: It's not known where Theo came to be or when, all he can remember is the dark. He is very gifted in his own powers, though things around him tend to not be stable along with it. He is known to usually show up when one's own sanity drops, as well do other hallucinations along with him that can hurt the said person.
He doesn't speak much, resulting in as mostly a mute. He sign languages a lot as well to get his point across without using his voice.
In folklore in the Netherlands, he is commonly referred to as 'Schaduwkind', or, 'The Shadow Child'.
Way back then, when a person had a mental illness they were offered out into the night in the forest. Tto either come back for better or for worse, it is said they would encounter schaduwkind and either be fixed or ruined beyond belief while science could do none.
His 'job' is usually to visit though of low sanity, sometimes in dreams, and tie a certain type of beast/monster/creature to them for eternity, like a parasite, feeding off of the insanity. He drinks up sanity like a piece of nourishment, being around him causes it to drop quicker.
