A young Edward Mordrake, the son of a British noble family, showed early signs of musical prowess that many at the time considered exceptional.
He was a 19th-century nobleman who was born with a curse and had to carry it with him throughout his life.
He had to deal with having a second (deformed) face on the back of his head for the remainder of his life.
This second visage was often described as “beautiful as a dream and terrible as the devil” by those who saw it.
However distorted and evil-looking the second face may have seemed at first glance, it had an uncanny resemblance to Mordrake’s awareness.
“When Mordrake sobbed, the second face would smile and sneer,” according to folklore.
As though the second face was disgruntled at being “second” and largely obscured by hair.
It’s like having a nagging voice that tells you, “You’re going crazy.”

Mordrake’s “Devil Twin,” who liked to converse late at night when Mordrake was trying to sleep, was the source of these strange murmurs.
In folklore, the face was said to be able to speak and laugh or cry.
Mordake pleaded with doctors time and time again to have it removed because he said it was whispering awful things to him at night.
It was for this reason that Mordrake’s peers began to doubt his sanity later in his life.
He had developed the habit of speaking to himself as if he had a second face.
Since Mordrake was born with a disability, there is little information about his strange life.
Mordake was 23 when he committed §ûįčįđĕ.
