What's the lore of the "88" guy in HQ

[🚛 Akehiko ⬛️💀🟧]

Down in the basement there is a guy in corections that you can kill,subdue,blow up repeatedly and he keeps respawning

Couldn't find a topic about the guy here so I wanted to ask if he's there as some easter egg or is it just for fun?

Haven't been down there but '88' is used by Neo-Nazis.
Maybe the guy symbolize hate and chaos while you are fighting for order and peace.

"Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as an abbreviation for the Nazi salute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.[11] The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH"
source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)

"88 is a white supremacist numerical code for "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥." H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 = HH = ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. One of the most common white supremacist symbols, 88 is used throughout the entire white supremacist movement, not just neo-Nazis. One can find it as a tattoo or graphic symbol; as part of the name of a group, publication or website; or as part of a screenname or e-mail address. It is even sometimes used as a greeting or sign-off (particularly in messages on social networking websites).

The number is frequently combined with another white supremacist numeric code, 14 (shorthand for the so-called "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children") in the form of ♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥♥, or 8814.

It should be noted that 88 can be found in non-extremist contexts. The number is used by ham radio operators to mean "hugs" or "hugs and kisses." Also, a number of NASCAR drivers, including several very well-known ones, have used the number 88, resulting in various automobile stickers and other forms of merchandise sporting that number."

Hell’s Angels use 81, for “HA.” 88 is HH for “hail H****r.”
