Nimrod was a serial killer who helped recruit The Corinthian for the "collectors" convention.

History[]

Copying the Corinthian[]

Nimrod, The Good Doctor, and Fun Land met in Huntsville, Alabama to discuss the upcoming "collectors" convention and how they had to find a new guest of honor, preferably The Corinthian, but Nimrod reached out every year, and he never got a response. The Good Doctor suggested they get his attention by copycatting one of his murders, but Nimrod didn't think that was wise, worried that The Corinthian would retaliate against them. However, The Doctor didn't give them much choice in the matter and killed the waiter. And despite their initial hesitation, Fun Land and Nimrod decided to follow The Good Doctor's lead and commit copycat killings of their own. Before long, they were face to face with The Corinthian and explained that they would like for him to be their guest of honor at their annual gathering of "collectors."[1]

The Cereal Convention[]

Nimrod and The Good Doctor approached The Corinthian as he arrived at the convention. They handed him his room key and advised him to keep Jed away from the convention areas after noticing that he was conversing with Fun Land, a child predator. Later that evening, Nimrod and The Good Doctor learned from Corinthian that the man claiming to be a collector known as "The Boogieman" was an imposter, as the real Boogieman drowned three years ago in Louisiana. Philip Sitz was the name of their imposter, who they decided to lure to a secluded area of the hotel before killing him. However, they were discovered by Jed, who The Corinthian perused.[2]

Nimrod's dream

Nimrod, The Good Doctor, and all the other "collectors" gathered for The Corinthian's keynote address, where he instructed them to close their eyes and dream. And in doing so, they shared on collective horrific dream until the walls were placed back up by Rose and The Corinthian was killed by Morpheus, who took away their self-imposed victimhood and daydreams in which they were always right. Dream's punishment to the serial killers were for them to know exactly how craven, selfish and monstrous they were, subjected to feel the pain of those they had slaughtered and the grief of those who mourned them. And so, Nimrod went to his car and shot himself in the head.[3]
