Osher Reed is Osher Reed.
Julius Reed is Julius Reed.
But five thousand years ago, they were actually one person.
The ancients were wise.
After the temple was continually attacked by Julius Reed, they suddenly understood a truth.
When a powerful enemy cannot be defeated from the outside, then it must be undone from within.
Thus.
Within Julius Reed, a second personality began to split.
This personality being the current Osher Reed.
Strictly speaking, they are one person.
The existence of Osher Reed merely fills the voids in Julius Reed's character.
Those greedy, selfish, insidious, cunning traits!
The temple evoked a person's most primitive desires.
But these were things Julius Reed did not want to possess.
In order to maintain himself, he adopted a series of methods to strip away his memory!
But many times, residual memory is not completely cleansed, and those desires would reappear.
