when schlatt was a kid, he was abused by his father. his father was an alcoholic who spent most of his time either gambling or drinking. schlatt's mom worked as an accountant in the city, she was away a lot for business trips. one day she came home to schlatt, crying on the floor with bruise marks on his chest and neck and a deep cut on his left arm.
she found her husband, passed out on the couch with broken pieces of glass bottles all around him. she thought that this might have been a possibility, that he drank and most likely hit schlatt, but she ignored it, remembering the man she fell in love with. that was not this man at all. she woke him up and told him she was leaving, with schlatt.
he said he understood what she was saying. he left to get a "present" for schlatt.
then came back with a gun and shot her in the head.
schlatt was 6.
---------------------------------------
schlatt is now 17, he has to work full time, often late in to the night fund his fathers alcohol addiction. one day, the social worker has a visit and finds schlatts father, drunk passed out on the floor. they then take away all of his alcohol and make schlatt go to school.
there, schlatt is bullied about his father and dead mother. he feels her ghost always, haunting him as if saying..
"this is all your fault"
-----one week later-----
schlatt comes home, bruised and bloody with a large scar going from the end of his nose to the side of his cheek, courtesy of his father. he walks to the living room, already accepting his fate. he isn't weak, he just doesn't know anything other than the trauma of a bloody childhood. but the blows he's expecting never come, and he sees his father dead,
lying on the ground
a puddle of blood around his head
slowly bleeding out for hours before could even think about death
shot in the neck.
schlatt is terrified, his father dictates his life, what could he do without him?
what could he do without him?
-----------------------------------------------------------
after the death of schlatt's father, schlatt was taken to prison
for a crime he didn't commit
turns out that schlatt's father had written a suicide note, highlighting how schlatt had killed his mother and had abused him everyday so he wouldn't tell anyone
he was put in jail for life, but after 20 short years schlatt was out, why? he didn't know.
he didn't know his purpose, all he was, was because of his father.
the entire world viewed him as a murderer, so why wouldn't he be one?
------------------------------------------------------------
schlatt joined the DSMP. working as a underground assassin, used to kill politicians for financial and material gain. drinking everyday, reminding himself of his own father, this was not the brightest idea but did that worry schlatt? no, not at all. schlatt decided to make a difference, to have the most impact he could on the world, and so he became a politician himself.
of course, that didn't mean he stopped drinking now did it? now, it was an escape from reality. until he met tubbo. looking at tubbo was like looking at a younger version of him. reminding him of the abuse, mental and physical, that he endured every, single, day.
he lost himself, believing he was, indeed a younger version of himself. living in the past, no matter who you are, is a bad idea. one day, after enduring particularly terrible hallucinations. he shot himself in the neck
just like his father
bleeding out, just like his father
lying on the ground, just like his father
