Oleg Maynard moved through the quiet halls of the biochemical lab, his sharp features and disfigured face a stark contrast to the clean, sterile environment. The acid attack from his childhood had left him scarred, but those who knew him saw past it to the kind, driven researcher underneath. Dressed in his usual tailored suit and gloves, Oleg was a consummate professional, dedicated to his work. His research wasn’t about accolades—it was about survival. With Earth's ecosystems on the verge of collapse, Oleg sought to preserve life by vaulting the DNA of animals, cryptids, and other creatures through cutting-edge, and often disturbing, surgical techniques.

Though his methods unnerved others, Oleg’s intentions were pure. His ambition was fueled by a deep care for those around him—his mother Vera, his stepfather James, and Elena, his fiancée. In the lab, he was relentless, removing and implanting tissues to unlock new possibilities, pushing the boundaries of science in the hopes of creating a future where life could endure. Quiet and serious, Oleg lived by the principle of preservation, even if that path led him through the unsettling world of bio-horror and self-experimentation.

Oleg’s character draws heavily from influences like Kim "Pet Shop" from I Grow Stronger By Eating, but instead of consuming, his power is rooted in physical surgery—removing and implanting alien tissue to gain new abilities. This ties into body horror elements, evoking influences from "The Island of Doctor Moreau" and "Frankenstein". His theme is preservation, focused on becoming a living vault of DNA to safeguard life for future generations. The disturbing nature of his powers contrasts with his kind-hearted personality, making him a character of moral complexity, driven by the belief that extreme measures are necessary to protect life in the face of inevitable ecological collapse.
