Respect Stefano Valentini! (The Evil Within)

I am Stefano, and now you are my art.

---

Originally a war photographer, Stefano Valentini lost an eye whilst photographing the horrors of war and his descent into insanity began. One fateful day, he caught on camera the exact moment a person in front of him gets shredded by the same explosion that took away his right eye. Growing obsessed with the imagery captured, he began to see only true beauty in one thing - the exact moment of every creature's death - and began sharing his vision with the world. In this context, "sharing his vision with the world" meant "creating sculptures out of the bodies of murdered fashion models".

Later on, a group of scientists constructing a digital world built from the collective unconscious of hundreds of test subjects let Stefano into their program, and once things started going wrong he was given partial control over the world inside, gaining incredible powers within the simulation. Oops.

All of these feats take place inside STEM, a virtual world created through mental power.
