Biography
Oliver Thredson projected the demeanor of being a calm, rational, mild-mannered psychiatrist. In truth however, he was actually a sadistic serial killer and rapist, who earned the media nickname "Bloody Face" during his reign of terror from 1964-1965.

Oliver Thredson was called to consult with several patients at the Briarcliff Manor mental health asylum. While there, he found that a young man named Kit Walker had been arrested for crimes that Oliver had committed.

Oliver kidnapped and raped a woman named Lana Winters, who had been imprisoned at Briarcliff because of her lesbian lifestyle. Lana managed to escape his clutches and killed Thredson by shooting him in the back of the head.

Lana was pregnant with Thredson's child however, who grew up under the name Johnny Morgan. Morgan inherited not only his father's mental instability, but also assumed the mantle of "Bloody Face" in the modern era.
