To understand the process of Blood Spatter Analysis the Doctor had to take the terminology that was created and evolve them for his own personal uses. Earlier reports of Blood spatters would be used to associate the physical appearances of stain patterns today. Stains used in the Laboratory were used out in the field. These were necessary to convey a concise and clear observation creating a language for scientists like the Doctor to communicate properly.

There were two trends of terminology most Blood Spatter Analysis like the Doctor would use to convey in terms of blood stains. The first was called "Appearance" which was the physical appearance of stain patterns. The second was called "Mechanism" which was from the mechanism in which the pattern was created.

Bloodstain Patterns are examined carefully. The Doctor would evaluate the physical characteristics of a stain including the size, the shape, the distribution, the location, and the concentration. This analysis of physical properties however was minimal, at least minimal until prior knowledge came to be such as how the blood will be have in known conditions. By evaluating the physical characteristics and appearance of a pattern the Doctor cannot help but to assess the potential mechanism of which the stain was ultimately created from.

The Doctor must have knowledge of the surroundings, the mechanisms of which the bloodstains were created prior to any actual case evaluation. To the Doctor the appearance and mechanism cross paths but the initial evaluation of patterns would be concerned with categorizing bloodstain patterns based by those physical appearance. Then these physical appearance of stains are in conjunction with prior knowledge with how blood tends to behave, which comes to the Doctor's experiments, as well as experiments of the past.

As the Doctor became more familiarized with blood stain patterns he was able to reconstruct past events by evaluating more than the appearance of blood stain patterns. The Analysis of bloodstain patterns was divided into four specific categories. This was called the Logic Tree of Blood Pattern Analysis.

Within Level 1 Analysis there was what was called Bloodshed Event, and Bloodstains. Level 2 Analysis was the Evaluate physical characteristics or the appearance of bloodstains along with the Utilize knowledge of the Bloodstain Analysis. Level 3 Analysis was evaluating case facts and access any possible mechanisms for blood stain patterns. Then finally at Level 4 was the reconstruction of bloodshed event.

From within the physical characteristics of blood stain patterns, they may be classified under one of 3 primary bloodstain categories. These three categories were passive or gravity, spatter, and then altered.

Passive bloodstain patterns had physical features that were created without significant or any outside force other than gravity and friction. Some Mechanism based terms of passive bloodstain patterns were contact, drops, flow, saturation pooling and free falling valume.

Spatter bloodstains come in different sizes and come from different directions. These are associated with a source of blood with an external force addition to gravity and friction. Some Mechanism based terms of spatter bloodstains were impact mechanism, secondary mechanism and projection mechanism.

Then finally was altered which were bloodstain patterns with appearances of blood and patterns that have gone a physical or physiologic alteration. Some of the subcategories or mechanism based terms relative to altered corresponding to appearance based categories were clotted, diluted, diffused, insects, sequences, and voids.

Each three types of bloodstain patterns had to be looked through individually with greater detail. The Doctor felt that each type of pattern were greatly important.

Passive Bloodstains for example. The Doctor had to learn that the term referred to stains and patterns that were produced from a volume of blood or a free fall where only gravity, and air resistance was the cause. There was no significant external force or impact of it as the source. The Doctor took care of these blood stains as these were the ones that allowed the Doctor to learn and try to decipher the width and perhaps even length of an object the blood stain came from.

Blood can drip from an exposed wound or from soaked clothing. It can drip from hair, or weapons or any other object with a sufficient amount of volume in size that will permit the blood to fall. The resulting diameters are the care of volume within the drop, the distance it fell, and the surface texture from which the point of impact was made. Whenever an impact happened with smooth, hard, nonporous surfaces, the tension of blood would resist rupture and form a circular stain produced from the independent falling distance. On the opposite, if they ruptured on rough-textured or porous surfaces they would cause a rupture on impact. Residual blood stains would be of distortion state with irreglar shapes and even spiny edges.

The Doctor knew it was important to understand that the degree of distortion and spattering of blood stains would result from free-falling as a function of the surface texture of the target rather than the distance fallen. On concrete, unpolished wood or fabric materials are always considered to be rough surfaces.

Some surfaces such as newspaper and tissue paper are not considered to be rough surfaces but will often than not exhibit very irregular and distortion of blood stains while glass, porcelain as well as other hard surfaces such as smooth cardboard will exhibit least distortion with the respect of blood stains on their surfaces.

When it came to seeing through lies, and finding whole truths the Doctor had devised many ways of finding that right button, that right notion to tell what another person was thinking. There were many methods the Doctor had read about. He read books on the face and eyes, he read books on the understanding of Body Language. There were some books that allowed the Doctor to better communicate by looking at verbal responses. Then there was the art of interrogation. This was perhaps the Doctor's favorite method.

This method allowed the Doctor a better understanding of people in front of him. It allowed him to get into their minds, and re-work it. It allowed the Doctor to know just the right buttons to push.

Back when the Doctor was known as "Mordecai" during his days as a Venator the Doctor conducted many interrogations. Granted the style he used was more unorthodox, like the time he threatened a man by hanging him over a ten story building upside down. However the Doctor had to still learn and know that it is possible to read wrongfully when there was no deception.

The Doctor knew that there was a wide range of factors that made it appear someone was lying such shyness, awkwardness or any type of shame applied. It was the Doctor's job to read deeper into those signs to slowly distinguish because no matter what, even if a person was trying to hide it, they could not hide their feelings for long. It was only a matter of time before the Doctor takes those layers away and find the real core of the person.

The Doctor was good at looking at the big picture of it all. When investigating and interrogating he was good at picking up and accessing body language. He looked at their verbal responses and other indicators of what a lie may be. He saw to see if the person was stressed. A great way of noticing this was the nails as a stressed person tended to bite their nails. He would continue by looking at other things, like where the person was from because from one country to another a sign could be the opposite. Holding the hand up had many signs and symbols. It was like the time when the Doctor learned body language, he knew that tapping someone on the shoulder could be one of several things depending on where that person was from.

Another key thing the Doctor made sure of was to keep all detachment from anyone he was investigating. The Doctor acted as a robot because attachments did not allow the Doctor solve a crime. It did not allow him to discuss with a person on what had happened. The answers was important to the Doctor and wanting someone to be the liar causes mistakes.

Normally before investigating on a person the Doctor would look into their history and get a gauge of them. He liked to know if the person had a history of lying or if they were experienced in it. If these were factors the Doctor liked to change the tactics from having a conversation, to brute force by putting the fear of god into them.

To the Doctor one of the most important things to him is keeping his identity a secret. Throughout his lives there have been practices he performed, duties he played that could put his own life at risk, and those he cared about.

To many associates familiar to the Doctor this could be seen as deceitful, unkind, and perhaps even against the very core morals of those similar to the Doctor. However the mission was more important. In all intents and purposes the Doctor was deceitful. He hid, he told half truths, he stayed away from those he may consider friends. The man did not even like telling people his name, he was simply known as "The Doctor", however there was another alias coming into play.

At first this was slightly difficult but with time the Doctor got better at it, especially as the Handler. When the Handler came to be it was incredibly tough for someone to take a chance on him. The environment he became accustomed to were high risk-averse places filled with crime and back allies. His initial approach was to "fake it till you make it" approach.

There were instances where the Doctor was seen to be not as himself, or really the Doctor didn't seen himself. Some perceived the Handler as a man who was not himself but the Handler just passed it off as simply "he was getting his barring" in the whole underworld of society.

The first thing the Handler did right was learning to know what he could fake. There was a difference between acting the part he was a part of while dressing up the part and acting professionally and the process of misleading those he interacted in the role. To the Handler it was one thing to make people believe who he was by straight up lying to them, changing his appearance and being something else entirely while making people believe who he was.

The Handler had to look in at his motivations. He had to look deep into the purpose of his interactions. While performing a duty as the Handler he had to look with some introspection. His driving force had to be more than that of a normal thug, or a person wanting money or ambition. Motivations as simple as that lead to poor decisions and that is what divide those who are considered on the bottom of the pyramid to those who raise up.

Whenever the Handler performed his role he would build a case. The Handler would evaluate his skills and reasoning for his role. He acted in a way that would make clients take a chance with the Handler. It was the Handler's passion and confidence that made people believe in the Handler. The greatest gif the Handler had to offer was by telling truths, or half truths. Whether he was faking it or making people believe who he was he never slung around lies or untruths.

Whenever the Handler told a story there was a hint of truth in it. He was where he was, or he did meet the people he met. Though sometimes he would trip it up from time to time and make it seem like they were too fascinating to make it real.

One of the most secretive identities the Doctor has ever created was the Venator, the Detective, the Investigator Mordecai. Mordecai was a Witch Hunter, an investigator of crimes and the supernatural who would stop at nothing than to find those guilty of crimes and bringing them in. Luckily for the Doctor there was nothing truly needed to become an investigator with the exception of a few requirements like keeping his record clean. Luckily the Doctor never got into trouble, and as Mordecai he always kept his tracks hidden.

As an investigator Mordecai needed to have great communication skills as they were essential. Sadly it wasn't a glamourous job. It was an incredibly physically and mentally draining position to have. There were times where Mordecai would need to investigate and surveillance those he suspected of committing a crime. He had to know the laws of the country and land he was in as he needed to make sure the violations were applicable. There were times when Mordecai had to perform a raid, searches, manhunt while staying away from the prying eyes of local investigative surfaces. There have been times when Mordecai would perform field surveillance in order to locate assets, places of employment to locate a suspect. Then in order to ensure his participation with local judges did not exist he had to properly prepare, maintain, and organize records and reports comparable of putting a suspect away.

Luckily for the Doctor as Mordecai he gained great experience as a member of the Venator. The Doctor remembered a time when he was investigating a crime at Himinglæva island in the Country of Waves. There was a death that occurred in Uneri, the City Capital of Waves. The Doctor remembered it like it was yesterday. Poor woman bloodied and beaten. There were bruises along her wrist, waist and face. There were lacerations across her skull as well. The grooves on her wrist showed signs she was handcuffed before she was beaten to death.

When Mordecai entered her apartment building he took everything in, and took his time at the crime scene. Blood stains were splattered from the initial contact of a large blunt object. Mordecai was able to measure the laceration on the skull, and used the free falling blood stains to make an estimate that the object had a diameter of 2.75 inches, which was similar to that of a baseball bat. The assailant entered through the balcony door, breaking through the window.

The initial break must have startled the woman as she pushed back, knocking the table. The right side of her head was struck once judging by the impact showing she was trying to run away from the initial break in. This must have knocked her out. Mordecai came to the conclusion that she was running and this was the first strike due to the multiple laceration strikes located on her left side making the Mordecai deduce that the assailant was right handed.

After the first strike she was probably knocked out cold as Mordecai could not see any signs of struggle. From there the Assailant turned her around, handcuffed her, and dragged her across the room before propping her up in a sitting position against the wall where he began hitting her along the waste with the bat, and finishing her off across the head. Mordecai concluded this thought as he noticed a dragging groove from her heels as they were scuffed from the floor. There were white streaks moving across the hardwood floor.

There were also free falling drops of blood moving in the same direction showing that he grabbed her hands with his left hand, while holding the bat with his right hand. There were also blood spatter patterns coming moving violently to Mordecai's left as the larger blood spats ended to his left, showing she was struck viciously multiple times going left. He propped her in a sitting position judging by the spatter positions which was enough for the man to swing a bat like weapon at torso range.

[Yoshi [Lynx!]]

I'm very happy you listened to my feedback. The "identity" of Mordecai came to show through this post very nicely. It was a nice insight, and a lot less awkward to read than your last post. Props! In addition, you even added a full extra paragraph of content. I'm very pleased!

During the Doctor's years with the Venator going by the alias Mordecai has taught him many things. One of his greatest skills was knowing a person just by looking at them. During the case of the woman beaten to death in her own apartment in the Country of Waves Mordecai had conducted an investigation finding evidence against an ex-boyfriend. He was a disgruntled sort, an angry man who was known to use aggression to get his way. He used to play baseball in a couple of leagues around the world. He was a rich type that felt he could get away with anything.

The woman saw this man for several years. There were incidences of domestic dispute but nothing stuck against him so she left and filed a restraining order against him within the City Capital of Waves.

Mordecai tracked him down at an old club known for its extravagant playtime of booze and dance. Mordecai was a master disguise and with his suit he was able to morph himself into anything he pleased. Mordecai did not have to hide in the shadows. No he could simply blend in with the crowd, move quietly without tripping up any alarms or make anyone suspicious. He moved around quietly as he placed his sights on the man. Watching him closely he began to examine the man. Knowing but a Glance some people would say. A unique gift Mordecai had.

While standing by a booth, faking a drink he glanced over to the man who happened to walk to a bar just a few meters ahead. Mordecai glanced from down to up and instantly noticed some key features from the man. Through the crowd the Doctor saw dirt fragments along the shoes. It showed the man had been running within some muddy areas. He slowly stood up and walked over, passing the man where he noticed some red spots along the bottom part of the pants showing the woman's blood may be connected.

Judging by his thighs he was a faster runner than normal, however there was a limp in his left leg which could have resulted in a knee injury. Perhaps there was a surgery as the man kept rubbing a hand against the left knee as if bothered with an itch. Mordecai judged the man's shoulders, and arms and decided that he may be strong, but there was no technique in his ability. If he had to guess Mordecai could take the man out quite easily.

Mordecai glanced at the man's hands and could see calices. There were bruises along the knuckles showing he had been fighting recently. There were some bruises along the ring and pinky finger as well showing the man cannot punch properly so Mordecai knew he was no real fighter, but just a bully. The man was rattled, somewhat panicked, un-edged. Mordecai could tell he was bothered by something.

"Hey have you seen Crystal?" said a man coming from behind placing a hand against the other man's shoulders, obviously a friend of the two.

The baseball player shook his head and raised a hand upcoming his hair lightly with a nervous look. Mordecai carefully watched him as he yelled out "No, no I have not, I don't see her at all. Hey listen I gotta go" he said pushing away, walking out of the club.

Just by these few glances Mordecai knew, the man was lying, so Mordecai followed.

The baseball player walked out of the club and headed out into an alley. Mordecai followed along. He moved up onto the roofs of the smaller buildings and carefully glided around, watching with careful intent, making sure to take care not to be spotted.

It was time to make the man slip. The alley was a good spot to do this. Mordecai had been practicing but sadly he had not mastered it. Mordecai sucked in deep within the diaphram, he paused briefly as the man stumbled some, and began vomiting along the alley floor.

"Charlie," Mordecai bellowed out, projecting his voice forward and out into the distance as the vocals echoed along the walls of the alley.

The man stopped in his tracks and immediately looked around. Mordecai moved to another location and began again. "Charlie," he said again projecting his voice out, waiting for the man to react once again.

"Who's there!" he yelled out looking around still, turning around several times.

"Why did you do it Charlie," Mordecai asked calmly in his bellowed voice.

"Do, do what?" he asked nervously.

"She was done with you Charlie. She didn't want to see you anymore. She made it very clear."

The man stayed quiet as he began to walk deeper into the alley. Mordecai moved from one rooftop to another in a quick movement. The man looked up in shock as he thought he saw movement but all was silent, all was still.

"Did she find someone else? Was that it?" Mordecai continued in his deep tone, projecting his voice out through the alley as it echoed out.

"What do you know!" he yelled out as he reached down and pulled up a large piece of wood and held it to himself. "Show yourself!"

"There are blood stains on your clothes that will match hers, why did you do it," Mordecai continued from atop the rooftop while maintaining a visual on the man. "Did she make you feel powerless? Was that it?" he asked, taunting the man as the man below continued to turn around before turning into another alleyway and running in scared.

Mordecai followed along, running through the rooftops as the man yelled out in fear. He stopped at a gate blocking in front of him. He shook the door violently but the lock shut it in place.

"Why did you do it?" Mordecai asked continuing to project his voice down using the walls to help with his technique in keeping him hidden. "Why did you use her head as a baseball." Mordecai said, taunting, stopping at a rooftop just a few yard away above the man.

"What, what makes you think I did anything to her. You have no proof!" the baseball player yelled out swinging the large piece of wood around a few times.

"Oh but I do Charlie," Mordecai projected his voice again into the alley while staring down at him with anger in his eyes. "The blood is found on your clothes. You haven't changed since the incident. You are right handed and judging from her position it was prime for you to make a good swing. Then there are the foot prints along the floor made from her blood. I suspect your shoes fit nicely. Then there was the bat..." Mordecai stopped as the man looked up in fright. "The bat you decided to throw away in a dumpster just across the street. Stupid, it has her blood and your fingerprints."

"Get away from me you freak!" he yelled out not wanting to hear any more.

"You will be taken into custody, either by choice, or force." Mordecai finished before jumping off of the rooftop down to the ground.

Mordecai stared at the man wearing his full outfit. A Fullbody Corset with a smooth face plate over, outfitted with a gasmask and specialized lenses in where goggles would be at. Mordecai slowly walked up to the man with the large piece of wood that looked like a piece of a 2 by 4.

"Stay away from me you freak!" he yelled at him, but Mordecai was calm. He already assessed the danger level of the man. He could tell this man had no power. He was a bully, simple as that.

The man rushed towards Mordecai. He swung violently down with a powerful strike but Mordecai sidestepped away and pivoted behind the man. The baseball player Charlie then immediately swung around him horizontally but Mordecai was too far from the strike as he stepped back a few times.

It was time for Mordecai to continue his studies. There was a technique the Venator were teaching him at some point. Sometimes a person can sustain massive amounts of damage that may cause death to them, however anyone with enough self control can limit that damage to allow those they strike a chance of life. This meant that Mordecai could perform a deadly move without killing the target, and instead incapacitate them for an extended period of time. This Charlie fellow was the perfect candidate to test Mordecai's ability.

Mordecai was ready, the man swung down once again, and again Mordecai sidestepped, pivoting to the left. Mordecai delivered a fierce strike against Charlie's wrist as he dropped the piece of wood. Charlie then right hooked towards Mordecai met it with a left elbow block followed by a straight right to the man's face.

Staggered some Charlie raised his hands up to try and protect himself but Mordecai immediately delivered a straight right leg against the man's stomach, launching him up against a brick wall before falling to the floor. Mordecai walked up to Charlie, reached down and grabbed him with his hands and pulled him back up. Charlie retaliated with a left body strike but Mordecai blocked it with a right elbow strike. Mordecai then wrapped his hands around the back of Charlie's neck and made a strong grasp with the hands before delivering two powerful knee strikes against Charlie's rib cage.

Charlie tried to strike with a right fist but Mordecai pushed his forearms against the strike, blocking it. In one swift movement Mordecai took hold of Charlie's right arm. He twisted the wrist with his right and applied an elbow lock with his left. Mordecai then swung Charlie around while having an arm lock taking Charlie to the ground.

Charlie was eating dirt at that time, yelling at the man "Let me go you bastard, that bitch deserved it! she left me! embarrassed me! and had the gaull to put a restraining order on me! you know what that did to my reputation!" he screamed at Mordecai.

This touched a nerve to Mordecai. Without skipping a beat he immediately applied pressure against Charlie's shoulder with his left knee dislocating it by pushing forward. He then performed an open palm strike at the elbow joint, breaking the elbow before raising the right wrist up and twisting it until it snapped. The man screamed in pain as his body began to go into shock from the pain. He flailed around violently before Mordecai delivered a powerful haymaker against the man's temple, knocking him out.

Mordecai reached into one of his pouches and pulled out what looked like a recording device. He smiled some and stopped the recording. It may not hold up in these courts but this punk will remember, everyone will know what he had done.

As mentioned at another time and place the Doctor's greatest skill was that of a Mimic. The art of Disguise and Acting was a skill, a craft perfected by the Doctor. During a case Mordecai was watching a man closely. The man went by the name Two Fingers because of his quick shooting skill with dual pistol crossbows.

Two Fingers liked to hang around in an old bar deep into the grunge part of town within Ptolus. It was a simple place, but they did not take kindly to users of Chakra. Mordecai had been tailing the man, altering his appearance every chance he got just to make Two Fingers not be suspicious. The ability to blend and move in with the crowd helped Mordecai greatly.

Mordecai watched Two Fingers carefully. He tracked him gaining knowledge of his schedule. He wanted to know where he went, how we got there, and what times. He wanted to know the pattern of Two Fingers. While Mordecai followed Two Fingers to the bar, Mordecai played a game of pool while keeping an eye on the man at a distance. He watched closely trying to get the actions right. He noticed Two Fingers always kept his hands busy. Whether it was playing with his favorite coin, or twirling a cigarette around his fingers he always kept his hands busy.

You see Mordecai was an eccentric character. He liked making unsavory deals with different parties. Mordecai gained information from an informant that Two Fingers struck a deal to transfer some stolen goods through the harbor. The Buyer and seller were both going to be there. Two Fingers was merely the mediator of the two. With Two Fingers a deal must be made beforehand, and if any member of any party tried to disrupt the deal, Two Fingers would kill both parties out of principle.

Mordecai decided he was going to take Two Fingers place at this meeting, and in order to do that he needed to continue watching Two Fingers. He had about a week to get everything down, but luckily Mordecai was a fast learner. In his notes he noted that Two Fingers was an average height man, almost the same height as Mordecai himself. He was thinner though which could become a problem, but he always made himself look bigger by wearing overcoats. He kept two specialized pistol crossbows along his back with extra magazine clips at his sides for easy access. The Overcoat seemed to carry various amounts of clips as well.

Throughout the night Mordecai just watched Two Fingers. He tried to get each mannerism, each movement of the man. What caught Mordecai off was that Two Fingers was not a drinker, and yet he was at a bar. No, he ordered a pop of sorts, clear in color but Mordecai could easily see it was a pop due to the fizz. It was in a small glass, and he swished the drink around with the ice. Mordecai suspected he was a Whiskey drinker at some point in time. Perhaps he was an alcoholic and yet he quit drinking.

Two Fingers was a playful guy. He gabbed, had his fun, and always tried to make light of things when it came to play time. Mordecai had finished a game of pool and walked up to the bar where he ordered a drink. He waited there patiently while keeping his eyes and ears on Two Fingers.

Mordecai then noticed Two Fingers was a walking cliché. He grew quiet as an associate of sorts walked up behind him. Mordecai noticed him enter the bar a few moments ago but stayed in the back waiting for the right moment. When it seemed clear he moved and whispered a few things to Two Fingers. Without skipping a beat Two Fingers turned to the man, placed his hands on his hips as if getting ready to duel with his two pistol crossbows and gave a nod before whispering something else. Sadly it was too loud for Mordecai to hear, however he did have the ability to read lips.

"Look Two Fingers getting this shipment where you want it is becoming difficult." the man said.

"How difficult," Two fingers replied.

"We got heat from all over town. We got officials asking questions."

"Then pay them off," Two Fingers continued in a monotone like voice.

"I, I'm trying but some don't seem to be the type," the man continued with a nervous look.

"Then make them become the type, motivate them through other means. Family seems to work." he said before turning around making sure no one was hearing him.

"Ya, ya you got it. You paid enough so I'll make sure it happens." he finished before turning around.

Mordecai felt confident he was able to mimic this man, but he had another week to take notes. An arrogant man Two Fingers was. It would be a shame to ruin his reputation.

Mordecai followed Two Fingers to his apartment complex down at the lower levels. He made sure to stay hidden in the shadows while calmly planning his next attack. He made sure to scout the housing ahead of time, even took the time to enter it before Two Fingers came in. He emptied the pistol clips found underneath the Two Finger's bed. He also made sure to empty other equipment magazines located throughout the house like the one on the night stand, the standard crossbow in the closet, the two pistol crossbows in the kitchen. Two Fingers was a very paranoid man it seemed.

While following just began practicing the tweaks and quirks Two Fingers had. Each time Mordecai visited Two Fingers home without the man suspecting he took it in. He sat on the man's couch, he walked the man's halls. Even tasted the man's food, but made sure not to tip anything off. He wanted to get a better feel of the man and see what he was about in order to better play him.

Mordecai was a man who understood people and everything about Two Fingers could be told by the inside of his own home and body language. What Mordecai found out was that Two Fingers was a man of taste. He enjoyed a good suit when working, but liked to wear slopping clothing around the house. His favorite color was red. He had a preference of fast paced music with lyrical understanding over the generalized pop drool that filled the air ways throughout the world. He was a cat person due to how clean he kept the housing. He liked dogs as well but measure dogs by their use while cats kept their own independence and freedom no matter what the owner wanted. Two Fingers kept a book shelf of books but didn't read many of them multiple times. There were a set of criminology books that were turned multiple times perhaps for research purposes in order to get into the mind of the criminals around him.

He was feeling confident in becoming this man. He took examples of Two Finger's clothing and could easily make a disguise. Two Fingers was never the type of person to show his body so a full coat and suit would be good enough. He did not have any distinguishing tattoos either which was a good thing. There was one thing though that Two Fingers had, he scratched his knee often. Through medical records Mordecai obtained it showed that Two Fingers had a plate planted near the knee. When it got cold enough or when there was enough moisture in the air it would begin to bother the surgery that Two Fingers had.

Each thing was evidence for Mordecai to become a better Two Fingers.

Through the years as a Venator the Doctor gained great knowledge about the world around him. It was in his best interest to learn about the kings, queens, lords and rulers of the world. It was in his best interest to learn about the heroes and villains of recent past.

One may ask however, what was the purpose of learning so much about the world around them. No one man truly cared who was who from town to town, no one man cared who great leaders were, hell most people did not even care about who a ruler was for a Ninja Village as they seemed to have the most influx of leaders rotating throughout the years.

To the Doctor this was life blood. To the Doctor this meant the difference between life and death. To the Doctor knowing was best for his profession. That is where the teachings of the Venator came in. Back then when the Doctor was a young lad, going by the name of Mordecai the Doctor was taught a simple lesson. When trying to strike down on vile and wickedness, when trying to purge evil it is best to know the city around you.

However the idea of purging was not exactly something the Doctor took at heart in his teachings. He felt the way he was being taught was to eradicate without question. This was not the Doctor's methods, but he did take the teachings and use them for his own purposes.

There was a plethora of information the Doctor had to get a grasp on, but what he took to heart were the leaders and recent legends that passed on by from country to country. He made a game out of learning this subject matter. So much so the Doctor had his own Memory Palace filled with information, allowing him to pick apart any country that came to mind.

The Memory Palace was a technique he devised a long time ago, but used it in the studies of the Venator. This Memory Palace was the grounds and floor plans of his own home. It was not the first home he purchased, but more, the home he was born in, and was currently living in. This Memory Palace was in all tense and purposes his world. Every country was a room, or a part of the grounds found in his home. This allowed him to gather and store information into this home.

What made the Doctor's technique even more incredible was the Occupancy. When he was a child growing up to adult hood he remembered many parties his parents would host. His favorite ones were the Halloween parties. He remembered guests wearing similar costumes, staying in his parents' home.

There was one party in particular he always remembered. Normally they were formal, with a masquerade theme to them however this one was an outlandish party. He saw a Devil walking around, a mummy, and other outlandish characters. This image was burned deep into his soul as he ran around from room to room in his own house wearing an outlandish outfit himself.

Each person in this house had a purpose, it allowed the Doctor to identify certain concepts to each person, allowing him to remember intricate details pertaining to the country. This was a technique that was perfected, allowing the Doctor to grasp his teachings with greater ease, and the ability to retain vast knowledge.
