Biography[]
Hailing from Ohio, Wilkie had no friends but was adored by his mother. In turn, Kyle treasured her as his only trusted person.
In his adult years, he began to loathe the world and believe that everybody was a liar. On Christmas, he had a friendly talk with a taxi driver and was inspired to create a website, which was intended to bring out the truth aspect about every human being. Initially, the site was a failure, and he became so upset that he tried to hang himself while leaving a note behind. However, in the process of doing so, he heard someone respond and quickly saved himself to view his monitor and soon more flocked to the site. Happy with the progress, he began to help his subscribers.
He would call the site Shadowërk and made a website on the dark web where he would have his subscribers pay him to put out jobs on the site such as rapes and murders. Kyle would also have whoever took the job to take a selfie of the act as proof of payment. Kyle would keep the pictures as mementos, and would use them as stimulation while performing autoerotic asphyxiation, having discovered after his suicide attempt that he found choking himself sexually arousing.
