Biography
The Wire’s people captured and sentenced it to death for unknown crimes. They executed it but it survived and preserved itself as an energy being and escaped to Earth. Here it concealed itself in television signals and transferred itself from set to set. Here it fed off the mental signals of human beings and sucked their energy using electrical tendrils. This process left the victim’s mindless and faceless but kept their consciousness intact.
