*SPOILERS* Coach Oleander

[JohnnyTheWolf]

"Meat Circus" reveals he has been traumatized as a child and the second safe in "Basic Braining" shows him being discriminated against due to his short size.

But when exactly did Coach Oleander become outright evil? If I understand correctly, he has been a Psychonaut for a while already, yet it does not seem like he has been kidnapping children and stealing their brains before the game's events.

[mabusoe]

he turned evil because he was traumatized as kid when his father killed the only thing he really loved which was his bunny

[shade00]

he more then likely begins his plans that night, as summer camp began that night more then likely.
which more then likely because they got a good crop of brains that time, or simply because he had not been joined up with the camp for long.

but one main reason id guess is raz, once he saw razs mind and how strong it was he probally thought, its time to begin..

as for the crazyhouse, he made the security guard into the milkman... when dunno as it coulda.
but he could have been planning it for years maybe.

it did begin with the bunny, but when rejected is when it took the large turn.

just refinished the game, once the coachs mind is cleansed of his father he reverts back, childhood drama it can mess ya up bigtime.
but yeah like i said it took a large turn when he got rejected that was the final push which probally sent him over the edge x.x
