A segment from the official transcript of Samantha Phillips’ recorded notes regarding Kingsley Montivelo

Kingsley Montivelo --- Atma 9th, 1888

Interviewer: Samantha Phillips
Copy 1 of 1

Samantha Phillips: The subject exhibits the characteristics of extreme narcissism and suffers from combat shock. Simultaneously has a self-aggrandized sense of worth and extreme self-loathing. There is also a hint of sexual frustration or inadequacy, note: find past romantic and sexual relationships or encounters-if any.

Subject is very defensive in interviews and likes to control the conversation. Often plays the part of the victim and casts blame on everyone but himself. He craves the spotlight and has a pathological need to be the leader, which most likely stems from his extreme paranoia. He is terrified of being abandoned or left alone, which is why he continues to see Alex. He needs an audience which may be why he jumped at the chance to write his memoirs. Have seen him in court multiple times. The subject is enjoying the trial. He has a very analytical mind and enjoys ruining arguments. The more air tight a lawyer thinks the argument is, the greater reward that comes with tearing it apart. Client treats it like a show and he is the main attraction.

Unapologetic for past deeds, but terrified of the return of Rezan Masters. Would say it was irrational save for Rezan’s reputation. Not the only former ally of Rezan to be paralyzed with fear at the mere mention of his name. Is Rezan the source of fear, or is it a manifestation of the fear of retribution? Kingsley feels he has much to answer for. Is Rezan his avenger?

Has crafted a fantasy world of sorts. I postulate that he is not a pathological liar, that this is his truth. It is not uncommon for subjects that have survived traumatic situations to create narratives in order to deal with the pain. Rezan could also be the embodiment of the reality he is desperately trying to hide from.

The best way to approach the subject is to be his audience and to appease his ego. Destroying his illusions may have traumatic consequences.
This is just something random I wrote. Samantha becomes a psychologist after the war and I thought it would be interesting if her brother asked her to conduct a brief psych profile on Kingsley based on the few interviews he's had with him. This is what I came up with. Haha

Enjoy!

Is this an excerpt from a larger story you're working on? 'Cause I can never seem to pin down what you're writing about. That's not a bad thing, I do it perhaps more than you, skipping from story to story. Just wonderin'.
