Background

Dreck first appeared over a decade before the Rikti invasion when he helped form a violent gang called the Freakshow.

In his capacity as the group's mastermind, Dreck may have planned the crime that eventually gave the Freakshow their superhuman powers. One night, the gang hijacked an armored truck transporting experimental drugs for Crey Industries. Never ones to shy away from trying new and potentially lethal drugs, some of the members (including Dreck) decided to try out the truck's contents on themselves.

The drug in question was an experimental physical booster program developed for the military. The compound warped and expanded their bodies over the period of just a few hours, giving them superhuman physical attributes, incredible pain tolerance and a powerful narcotic buzz. Their newfound resilience allowed the gang members to begin experimenting with cybernetic enhancements, ranging from replacement limbs and armor to horrific weapon implants.

Shortly after the Freakshow started to cybernetically enhance themselves, Dreck, who surprisingly had long been the brains behind the operation, decided it was time his rank of leader became official. He had to beat down two dozen other challengers to seize the position, but once he'd established supremacy Dreck finally gave the Freakshow the vision it needed to press forward.

Dreck and the Freakshow began to preach a philosophy of rage unleashed. They tapped into feelings of impotence; particularly among young twenty-something men who had "good jobs" that offered no hope or joy. Young men who wanted to lash out at the world because they couldn't find it within themselves to find meaning. They were looking for someone, anyone to provide that meaning and, unfortunately, a number of them turned to a man named Dreck. Under Dreck's leadership, the Freakshow has seized control of entire neighborhoods and gained access to increasingly more dangerous cyberware.

Description

Born Daniel Watson, Dreck is the glue that holds the militantly independent Freakshow together. The Freaks may chafe at his orders, they may laugh at his haircut, but they all have to respect Dreck´s absolute lust for violence.

Quotes

During the mission Stop Dreck mission from Unai Kemen:

Before combat: Which do you like better? Lord Dreck? Or Dreck, Emperor of Desolation?

Combat start: I'll turn you into a rug beneath my throne!


During the mission 'Invite' Dreck from Viridian:

Before combat: This place is great! But there needs to be more violence!

Combat start: Let me show you how to hurt!
Let's party!

At 75% Life: Are you gonna start fighting soon or what?

At 50% Life: I know what the problem is! I'm too sober!

At 25% Life: I think I'm gonna need a new arm! Cool!

Defeated: We should do that again...
sometime...

Defeats a player: What a freakshow! Gwah ho ho ho!
