Dottore, while studying at Sumeru Academy, shared his wild ideas with others, for which he was called a monster and a madman. People chased him with sticks and pitchforks, after which the young man came to the conclusion that “the style of work of the academy does not allow a breakthrough in research.” According to rumors about a madman, the first Harbinger, Pierrot, found him and invited him to join Fatui. He agreed and received the title "Il Dottore", which he found quite ironic.
