John McDowell woke up in the middle of the night to pee and made the mistake of looking at his reflection at precisely 3:33. Ever since, John has found himself possessed by a malignant spirit... possibly demonic in origin. After two and a half unsuccessful exorcism attempts, John has since resigned himself to this new dynamic, having decided to just make 'the best of it', as is the key to any happy and fulfilling life.

John McDowell also suffers from a rare neurological disorder that makes John pathologically refer to John McDowell in the third person.
