Description
The superintendent of sector 22 was named Yakov, but most people referred to him as 'The Boss'. It was a name that suited him well. He was old and had a scar on his face that made him look like one of the final bosses in a computer game. His past was a mystery that people loved to talk about. Some said he held a high rank in the army but was dishonorably discharged. His strong posture, physical fitness, and army boots he always wore made it quite understandable where that story came from. The scar on his cheek and his nose, that looked as if it had been broken before, suggested that he had fought more than once. The Boss didn't have any special powers, but rumors told that he fought high ranking espers with his bare fists.

Aiden would never know if the story was true. He didn't really care either. To him the Boss was simply his senior in Sector 22. Aiden was fourteen at the time and exceptionally young for a scientist in that department. It was for that reason the Boss insisted on showing Aiden around himself. He assumed it would shock Aiden. He assumed Aiden did not know the truth of what happened sector 22. He was wrong. Aiden knew it all.
The regulars of sector 22 were subjected to rigorous physical but also psychological testing. This was to ensure they were strong enough to handle it. Aiden couldn't do those tests as he was simply too young. The Boss showed Aiden the cells. He paused deliberately at each window so that Aiden could have a good look inside. Most newbies looked away. Too uncomfortable, but not for Aiden. He looked at those test subjects with pure curiosity. They were people like him, but with powers. They were convicted criminals. Fools, in Aidens view, that behaved like idiots and got locked up. They didn't deserve to live.

"They will try to manipulate you" the Boss warned Aiden. "They'll beg, flatter you or even bribe you. Anything so that you'll release them."
Aiden doubted it. He wasn't that easy to manipulate.
"But whatever you do, do not under any circumstance remove the metheon"
"I know," Aiden confirmed flatly. "I'm aware of the procedures."
As if he was foolish enough to let one of those espers manipulate him. He was smarter than that.

It would take quite a few years before the Boss eventually retired and handed over his position to one of his younger successors. In the notes he left he described Aiden as the most fearless sector 22 employee he ever met, but that wasn't all he wrote. In an insightful remark he wondered to what extent Aiden Korovin differed from those criminals at the other side of the glass. Aiden didn't have the powers, nor did anything he could be convicted of, but he shared their lack of empathy. To some regard he was as much of a psychopath as they were.

The story is totally based on the contents of a chapter in book 3, and Aiden is becoming more and more one of my favorite characters. I guess I just have a thing for sly asshole-ish characters, especially if they come in suits or white lab coats :') (Nope, there's no saving me anymore XD)

A few of my art goals of this year are to do more full scenes (characters + background + a bit of character interaction) and focus more on storytelling. I tried I really hard to push outside of my comfort zone with all the cinematic lighting, perspective, environment and many details. Not to mention it took me an eternity to complete. I don't know how many hours I put in and if I do add them all up, I will probably start to cry T__T

Also submitting this for Iduna-Haya 's Draw your OC challenge as this is pretty much all original content and characters and such ^^

From my Emion project.
