I should hope that you know. I tried so many things to get your attention, Anthony. Did you really think that it was a coincidence that I killed those women in front of you? Or that I stopped Dr. Fig from poisoning you to death? That idiot almost ruined my fun. I love to play games with my toys. Once your body gives out, you'll become a part of my collection, Anthony. Isn't that magnificent? I promise I'll treasure you and your friends so well. I take beautiful care of my toys.
~ Boris after he is revealed to be the Ghost of the Asylum

Dr. Boris Frenzy, also known as The Ghost of the Asylum by the childrens within the Hathmoore Asylum, is the main antagonist of the Imaginary Friends videogame series, serving as the overarching antagonist of the 2023 survival horror game The Friends We Left Behind and the main antagonist of the 2024 game Imaginary Friends Asylum.

While he seems to be a nice and caring doctor in the Hathmoore Children's Asylum, being the assistant to the doctors of the structure, he is actually a sadistic and ruthless serial killer that enjoys tormenting and torturing childrens, playing with them like they are his "toys", before eventually killing them in brutal ways just to add them to his personal "collection".

Appearence[]

While, like most of the human characters in the game, his features are never actually shown well, he seems to be a middle age man, slightly hunchback. He wears the classic white coat that doctors usually puts on, a surgical mask on his face, a doctor's cap and glasses on his eyes.

However, when he wears the costume of the "Ghost" he is dressed like a plague doctor, with a completely black overcoat that covers most of his body and the signature mask with a bird-like beak. While he wears this costume to commit his crimes without being recognized, his eyes also shine of a unsettling red light.

Personality[]

For most of the game, he appears to be a well intentioned doctor, the only one in the structure that actually cares for the childrens and that only wants them to be alive and heathly. It's only at the end of the game, when he is revealed to be the Ghost of the Hathmoor Asylum, that his true colors are finally shown.

In reality, Boris is a sadistic and psychopath serial killer who stalks, torture and murder childrens just for the fun of it, seeing them as nothing more than toys for his own entertainment. All the times that he helped Anthony and the other kids were just so that they wouldn't die too soon and ruin his fun, showing how much of a sadistic individual he is.

He even kills off many of the nurses that works in the Asylum in brutals ways in front of the kids that he wants to have fun with, just to psychologically torment them and nothing more. This is in spite of the fact that the nurses themselves are brided by him to keep quiet about his actions and as such are the closest things to allies he has, showing that he doesn't care about anyone other than himself and his own amusement.

The way he kills his victims are also extremely violent, with a couple of kids being mutilated to the point that only their faces were found, while another one was forced to see him killing a nurse with lobotomy before being lobotomized too and locked up a cell to die of hunger, with this brutality being motivated by nothing more than pure cruelty and sadism.

Overall, he is a irredeemable monster that kills for the fun of it, seeing everyone around him as nothing more than toys and pawn that he uses and plays with until he is bored, at which point he gets rid of them in brutal and cruel ways.

Biography[]

Not much is known about Boris' past, except that he most likely studied to become a neurosurgeon. At a certain point in the past, he started working at the Hathmoore Children Asylum as an assistant to the doctors of the structure, pretending to be friendly to the abused childrens within the Asylum. However, this was nothing more than a façade to select between the kids his victims to add to his twisted "collection", all under the fake identity of the "Ghost of the Asylum", as the childrens calls him while he is wearing his plague doctor outfit to hide his real identity.

Throught tapes that he himself recorded, some of his past crimes are shown, like when he killed two children, torturing them to death and mutilating them to the point that only their faces were found. In another one, he is seen murdering a nurse throught lobotomy, forcing a child to watch while he did just to torment him phychologically, before lobotomizing him too and locking him up in a cell to let him die of hunger. In the old Asylum, which Boris turned into his hideout, several more corpse and harvested organs can be seen. It's unknown how many people he killed before the events of the game, but given that it is said that several childrens misteriously disappeared and that he has been doing this for 10 years he most likely killed several more people during that time.

The moment Anthony Rivers enters the Asylum, Boris seems to immediately take great interest in him, wanting to add him to his own sick collection of victims. For this reason, he begins to stalk him while wearing his Ghost outfit, watching over him while he arrives and starts meeting with the other kids. He officially meets Anthony the day after his arrival, presenting himself alongside Dr. Fig, the head doctor of the Asylum who arrived only recently. He seems cordial towards him, saying that if he needs anything he can call him, but it's all just a ruse to obtain his trust.

He later assist while Dr. Fig tries his new "treatment" on Anthony, watching as the kid faints after the injection and bringing him to his room to tend to him while he is unconscious. After Anthony wakes up, he reveals to him that with his injections Dr. Fig is causing a really bad fever on him, basically poisoning him, and afraid that he might die too soon and ruin his fun he suggest him, under the false pretense of helping him, to change the content of his injection to simple water to stop the doctor from poisoning him further.

Anthony and one of his friends, Niccolo, manages to sneak out of their room during the night, successfully changing the liquid used for the injections on Anthony. They also decide to go and check on Edward, another child within the structure who was put in detention, worried for his health. However, before they can make it to the room in which he is confined, the Ghost of the Asylum appears to them, coming out of a room and stopping them before they could reach him, preventing them from being detected by the Nurses.

The two believe that the Ghost helped them, preventing them from being found, thinking for a moment that he could be their ally. But they quickly realize that's not the case, since the Ghost sneak behind one of the two Nurses while the other one is away, slitting her throat and killing her. The two kids, terrified, manages to go back to their room before the Ghost could catch them, while the corpse is found by the other Nurse once she comes back. Everyone gathers around the body, with a Nurse blaming Edward for the murder, but Boris rightfully points her out he had been locked away and had no way to do it. He also watches while a enraged Dr. Fig blames the childrens for the murder despite them being asleep, pushing Anthony to the ground and slapping Annabelle, another kid of the Asylum.

That night, Annabelle and Anthony decide to meet at the shack outside of the Asylum's walls, but once he arrive there he notices the Ghost running outside of the shack before some knocking starts to be heard on the door. If he opens the door, the Ghost will kill him with a axe, but if he doesn't after a while the knocking will stop and Annabelle, alongside her Imaginary Friend Pooky, enters the shack. The two talks about the Ghost, with Annabelle revealing that she discovered that it is not a real Ghost, but rather a person, also explaining to him that he once came into the room of the girls and left a tape for Annabelle to watch, but the two of them have to continue their conversation at a later point to avoid being caught by the Nurses and the Police, which are patrolling the Asylum after the murder.

After the recent events, Anthony starts to see her Imaginary Friend again, a dool-like angel without eyes named Hollow, with which he had a falling out after she murdered someone in front of him, indirectly causing him the mental problems that led to him being sent to the Asylum. The kid than goes to the treatments room for the injection, where he finds Boris and a Nurse which gives him the injection, with the latter not knowing that it only contains water and Boris indirectly reminding him that he should pretend to be asleep to keep up appearences. He later on leaves the room, leaving Anthony alone in it, but later returns after the Nurse have left to inform Anthony that the police have found that only an adult could be the culprint of the murder, before pretending to give him a second dose of the injection as previously established to make up for skipping one day of the treatment.

Anthony once again pretends to fall asleep, closing his eyes and making it seems that he fainted for the injection, but the moment he hears some strange noises in the room and slightly opens his eyes he sees the Ghost standing on his table with his eyes on the kid and a camera on the side of the bed. He prepares to kill Anthony and record his brutal murder like he did with previous victims, but before he can manage to do that some knocking on the door from a girl named Momo scares him off.

Boris later on comes back to the room again, this time as his regular self, telling him that he can go. Thanks to the lack of security that day, caused by many Nurses preferring to stay at home after the recent murders, Anthony, Annabelle and Edward manages to sneak into the projection room to watch the tape the Ghost left them, seeing with horror that it contains the Ghost killing two childrens without any kind of remorse. The three thinks that the Ghost is now trying to kill them too in a similiar manner and are rightfully scared, wanting to expose him to prevent him to continue his killing spree.

That evening, Anthony goes to take a bath, and after finishing and going outside he notices a Nurse outside of a room, inside of which there are a lot of noises. The Nurse asks what is happening inside, but much to the surprise of both her and Anthony, blood starts to flow from behind the door, and after it opens violently the corpse of another Nurse falls on the ground without signs of life. The Ghost comes out of the room with a knife, and while the Nurses runs away Anthony loses consciousness out of fear, waking up later in the theater after being retrived by Hollow, Momo, Charlotte, another girl of the Asylum, and their two respective Imaginary Friends. Charlotte informs Anthony that near him they found another tape while he was unconscious, meaning that it was probably left there by the Ghost in a similiar manner as the tape that Annabelle gave him. Anthony later on discovers that the other Nurse that ran away disappeared too, meaning she also died at the hands of the Ghost, althought neither her nor the other Nurse were found.

Later on that night, Annabelle wakes up from a nightmare of her past, finding the Ghost watching the room of the girls throught the window, with glowing red eyes, but both her and Pooky decide to pretend that he is not there like they usually do. That morning, Anthony explains to Niccolo what happened, and both of them notices that it is strange that the Ghost killed Nurses in front of the same patient twice, starting to notice a strange pattern, and both of them decide that the only way to have a better understanding of this situation is to watch the second tape that the Ghost left for them, thought they both think that leaving that to the police might also be a good idea since they are taking over the case.

Anthony goes to the treatment room, where he finds Boris which informs him that they are understaffed and as such no Nurse will come in the room. For this reason, he doesn't give him the fake injection and tells him to just not go outside of the room to prevent others from finding out about their little trick. While walking inside the room to kill some time, Anthony watches outside the window and sees the Ghost talking with a Nurse and bribing her with money, discovering this way that the Ghost have all the Nurses under his orders to keep silent about what is happening in the structure.

At that point Hollow decides to reveal to Anthony what is actually happening, explaining to him what happened the day in which he killed that kid in front of him. She tells him that the bully that attacked him actually killed him by stomping on his chest repeatedly, and Hollow couldn't to anything to save him. However, after Anthony's death, she started fading from existence, not bound by him any longer, and managed to go beyond reality, reaching a god-like being beyond space and time. There, he begged the entity to change the fate, and after taking her colors as a payment, it sent her back in time, allowing her to intervine and kill the bully before she could kill Anthony. Seeing her murder someone violently, he started to have mental problems and his parents, not wanting to deal with him, sent him to the Asylum.

Inside the treatment room, Anthony starts to hear the sirens of the police cars, and decides to quickly go downstair to give the police the tape that the Ghost gave them. However, the agents do not believe him and the Nurses discover that he is awake and decide to put him in the punishment cell. There, he is reached by Boris, who scold him, reminding him that he told him to pretend to be asleep and that he now have to deal with him personally since he is now the head doctor of the Asylum since Dr. Fig disappeared, presumably because he ran away as the main suspect of the murders. Dropping his fake gentle manner, he tells him he will lobotomize him for the trasgression, sadistically telling him to not be sad since he soon wont be able to cry anymore before going away.

Discovering what's happening, Annabelle decides to sacrifice herself to save Anthony, pretending to run away from the Asylum so that she would be punished instead of Anthony, something that actually works since the Nurses decides to let Anthony go since they are understaffed to deal with two lobotomy at once. Exiting the room, he discovers that Boris already did his lobotomy on Annabelle, which is now in a vegetative state because of it, unable to talk and on a wheelchair. Disrought by the view, Anthony apologize to her despite her not being able to hear him anymore.

Because of the murders and the sudden disappearence of Dr. Fig, who was believed to be the culprint, the Hathmoore Asylum would shut down, with Anthony being transfered before his friends. He would later on discovers that all of them were reported as missing, with him not knowing what happened to them. Rivers would grow up, becoming an adult and going out of the Asylum in which he was transferred, returning to society by becoming a private investigator. However, what happened in Hathmoore haunted him, and as such he decided to go back there years later to discover what happened, finding the Imaginary Friends of all his friends being loose on the Asylum. They attacked him, with Pooky apparently recognizing him, but he managed to escape them in time.

Confused about what happened to his friends, Hollow reveals him that Imaginary Friends are parassitic entities that exists bound to a specific children, and that they cease to exist after the children grows up or if the children they are bound to dies. Hollows also explains that all of Anthony's friend were lobomized by Boris too, and with the absence of their mind the Imaginary Friends overtook their body against their own will, becoming the aggressive beings that he found in the Asylum. Devasted by this news, Anthony asks her what he can do to fix all of this, and Hollow reveals to him that she might be able to go back in time as she did in the past with that bully, but to do that Anthony needs to die. To save his friends, Rivers decide to proceed, and takes his own life to allow Hollow to reach the space beyond reality once again.

Here, the god-like figure appears to her once again, and asks her eyes in return to allow her to go back in time to before Anthony went downstair to give the tape to the police. It is then revealed that all of the events of the game were actually the third Timeline, the one were Hollow doesn't have eyes, while the Timeline in which Anthony grew up, became a private investigator and came back to the Asylum was the second one, the one where the events of "The Friends We Left Behind" take place. Hollow tells Anthony to not go downstair to prevent the same events to unfold, and he obviously follow his advice. Boris later on comes back to the treatment room, telling him that the police have issued an arrest order for Dr. Fig, who however haven't shown up, probably to escape imprisonment. As such, he have now become the head doctor, just like in the second Timeline. After he exits the room, both Anthony and Hollow notices how his nice ways seems to be nothing more than a ruse since in the second Timeline he lobotomized all of his friends without a second thought.

Anthony meets with the other kids at the launch area, where he and Niccolo decide to watch the tape left by the Ghost, noting that Dr. Fig cannot be him considering that he has been in the Asylum for a short time, while the Ghost has been murdering people for years at this point. Thanks to a distraction of Hollow, the Nurses leave the room, allowing the two of them to reach the projection room where they plan to watch the tape. However, they soon notice that the projector is not in the room, and they are soon reached by Annabelle and Pooky, who meet Hollow for the first time. Niccolo says that he have seen a projector in Boris' office, so the five of them decide to go there to watch the tape, hoping to finally have their answers.

After arriving at Boris' office, Pooky stay outside to make sure no one would enter, while the other four watches the tape, seeing that it depicts the Ghost killing a Nurse throught lobotomy in front of another kid, before the latter is lobomized too and locked away inside a cage to die of starvation. Anthony and Hollow, who have now knowledge of what happened in the other timelines, understand who the Ghost is, but before they can tell the others the Ghost shows up inside the room, revealing that he has been inside the whole time. Preparing to kill all the kids with his knife, he is stopped by Niccolo, and the four manages to escape throught a trap door within the office.

They find themselves within a tunnel, which bring them to the old Asylum, where they are chased by the Ghost. They manage to escape him and reach a huge room, where they see the corpse of the Dr. Fig, who has been kidnapped and tortured to death by the Ghost, explaining his sudden disappearence. Before they can run away, they are however reached by the Ghost, who Anthony now knows being Boris since he saw him do lobotomy within the tape, knowing full well that it's his speciality. Boris confess, laughing while he reveals that he killed those Nurses in front of him to torment him and catch his attention, while also explaining that he saved him from being poisoned by Dr. Fig to prevent him from dying to soon.

Now with the situation under control, he reveals that he sees his victims as nothing more than toys that he enjoys playing with, torturing them as much as he pleases and killing them to add them to his sick collection. He than punches Anthony, which brings a furious Niccolo to try and attack him to no avail, since he is pushed on the ground and stabbed several times by Boris, which remarks about how useless they are. Hollow attacks him, making him lose his knife, but is unable to stop him considering he is much stronger than her physically. Anthony tells her to take the knife, with Hollow worried that she wont be able to control herself, but a panicking Anthony tells her to do it regardless. Hollow, with a quick movement, grab the knife and manage to stab him repeatedly, making him fall to the ground while Annabelle and Anthony reach a wounded Niccolo. At that point, an enraged Pooky arrives in the room, surrounded by flames, and after approacing a wounded Boris he finally finishes him off by stomping him, crushing his head and avenging all the victims that the Ghost have claimed through the years.

After Boris' death, the group manages to go to the surface again, where Niccolo is hospitalized and his wounds treated. With both Dr. Fig and Boris being dead and the murders of the latter being revealed to the press, the Hathmoore Asylum finally closes down. All the abuses perpetrated by Nurses on childrens are discovered by the police, who rightfully arrests them. With the nightmare over, Pooky burns down the entire structure and the kids are transferred to another Institute, where this time they can hopefully be treated well and, eventually, released to live their life as normal humans.

Trivia[]

  • It is unknown what happens to him in the first and second Timeline after the Hathmoore Asylum closes, however he most likely went to another Asylum and continued killing childrens to add them to his collection. Fortunately, both Timelines were undone by Hollow's time travels, making sure that Boris received his well deserved punishment for his atrocious actions.
