Movellan Prisoner

resilient conflicted instinctively rebellious vulnerable collectively traumatized
A Movellan captive abducted by Skagra to serve as unwilling components of his mind-control Think Tank. Forcibly integrated into a collective network of stolen minds, they endure brutal conditioning to amplify Skagra’s will. Their forced unity fractures under the Doctor’s interference, revealing the fragility of Skagra’s control as they turn on their captor in confusion. Once freed, they exist in a state of shock, their trauma rendering them passive instruments no longer—consciously or unconsciously resisting domination.
