Bio

"I'll set things right. Just for you."

Ken Bourreau was born on New Year's Day 1983 to Cindy Bourreau and Ernesto Sánchez in Buffalo, New York. Growing up, Ken was described as being highly intelligent and creative, being on the honor roll by the time he graduated high school. He also had a passion for music, making his first song when he was just 11.

In 1994, Ken's younger brother, Léon Bourreau, was born. He also started his first year of middle school. it was here where he formed a close relationship with fellow classmate Kate Novo.

After 8 years of being together, Ken and Kate split apart for various, mostly personal reasons. Before she left, Kate told Ken that she hoped that they would meet again some day. They kept in contact with each other until their careers made them busy.

In 2002, Ken began to attend Cornell University, graduating in 2006 with degrees in Music Theory and Computer Science.

In the 2000s, Ken was the frontman of The Dead and Buried, a very successful and popular emo band. One of their albums even went platinum. But they unceremoniously broke up in 2013 due to a highly publicized controversy regarding two of the bandmates. A mortified Ken would distance himself from the band and vanish from the public eye shortly after.

After moving to California and bouncing from job to job, Ken eventually landed a senior developer role at Amico, the largest tech conglomerate in the world. Ken grew to hate his job's cult-like work enviroment, but was pressured into staying by his peers and higher-ups.

In 2024, a wave of lay-offs at Amico stripped Ken of his job and forced him to move back to his birthplace of Buffalo, New York. In order to stay afloat, Ken acquired a job as a music teacher and moved into a apartment downtown.

Some months later, in August of 2025, Ken beccame aware of Kate's "death" and attended her funeral. Afterwards, increasingly strange and terrifying things would begin to occur at Ken's apartment. Hearing whispering in his ear while trying to sleep, electronics turning on by themselves. It all came to a head when Ken was pulling an all-nighter, when he turned around to see a naked Kate standing motionlessly behind him.

Kate revealed that the car crash was really a cover-up for her real death: being experimented on and killed by Amico for outlining the dangers of Amico Amy. On top of that, her fate was suffered by hundreds of other people who dared to speak up against the company and their products. After she said this, she held out her hand and offered Ken the opportunity to avenge her death. To which he accepted.
