Introducing Peter Butler. OPEN. A scientist and the head of Project Astra, who looks a lot like the handsome Anthony Hopkins.  Leading a team of people in the lower, underground levels of Red Meadows, who are trying to/believe they can, crack open the veil between this plane and somewhere else. The place & reason they believe so much darkness is drawn to Redwood. Butler and Project Astra is funding the shit out of the asylum to stay there and do their work, so Red Meadows is happy to let them carry on. And to supply them test subjects as needed.

Introducing Donna Chambers. OPEN. A doctor of psychology who looks a lot like the beautiful Angelica Ross.  Donna is an African-American woman with a strong character and ambitious spirit. She will do anything for science and to find out what makes serial killers want to kill. Donna Chambers has done doctoral work at Dartmouth College and the University of Pennsylvania, both Ivy League institutions. In 1980, she discovered her father, David Chambers, is a serial killer. Donna caught him in the act of murder when she broke into his apartment, suspecting that he is cheating on her mother. Confronting him, he admitted his natural inclination to kill before plunging a knife into his neck, killing himself. This event motivates Donna to study serial killers as she yearns to understand them.In 1984, Donna Chambers was doing research for a Psychology PhD with a focus on serial killers and what led to the noticeable increase in violence in the 70s. She spoke to Ted Bundy down in Florida and pried confessions to two unsolved murders from him. The feds, however, wanted to keep it on the down-low and that’s why no-one was aware of it. During her research, Donna talked to John Wayne Gacy, William Bonin, aka the Freeway Killer, Patrick Kearney, aka the Trash Bag Killer, Robert Hansen, aka the Butcher Baker and revealed that all of them were known for having “their lips sealed”, until she managed to make them talk.She arrived at Red Meadows Asylum to do the same with Benjamin Richter, aka Mr. Jingles, and discussed with him the rise of serial killers in recent years. She becomes so fascinated by him that she is about to set up his escape in order to study him in his natural habitat. After kidnapping Rita, Lucy’s would be mentor, Donna stole her identity and went to work as Camp Redwoodʼs on-site head nurse for the summer. Keeping up with the fake identity, she claimed she was an ER nurse at Redwood General the rest of year. - they really should have checked.
