DR. SPENCER REID: ORIGIN
DR. SPENCER REID was 5-years-old when his mother was framed and arrested for murder of Gary Micheals by none other than his own father. With her deteriorating mental state, the court looked harshly upon her, allowing her to take the fall with little-to-no question. She didn’t last long in the psychiatric ward, succumbing to an injury she sustained from another patient.
Despite his young age, DR. SPENCER REID knew something was amiss. His mother, his sweet and loving mother, was both incapable and unwilling to do such a thing. Try as he might, no one believed William Reid’s naive and nerdy kid. With no other option, DR. SPENCER REID and his father moved away from Las Vegas, far from accountability, far from his sons dreams of Quantico.
Regardless of what school he went to, torment followed. Due to both his father’s pressure to stay ahead and his own natural genius, DR. SPENCER REID was heavily bullied and abused by his classmates. Too focused on keeping his family’s reputation afloat, William Reid kept his son’s presence outside of his achievements in the dark. This included the suffering he went through daily.
Deciding he wanted to go down a path that suited his interests and got him as far from his father as possible, DR. SPENCER REID became a Criminal Psychologist at the astoundingly young age 21. He and his father don’t speak much, aside from cordial and short messages about his most recent award or promotion. If DR. SPENCER REID could have it his way? His father wouldn’t have made it out of Vegas.
But, he couldn’t say that. He couldn’t say anything he truly wanted to. No one took him seriously enough for that, nor could he keep his job if he had. So, he keeps it within him, never letting that almost animalistic rage manifest outside of the depths of his mind.
Maybe, just maybe, with this new case he’s planning to take— life will get just a bit more bearable.
