After Eleven forcefully transported Henry to the Upside Down, he fell through the dimension for a lengthy period, during which he was horrifically burned and disfigured by lightning strikes. As Henry explored the mysterious realm, what remained of his Hawkins Lab attire degraded into rags, and his pupils, one after the other, turned pale and mist-like. The isolated piece of the Mind Flayer remained dormant at Brimborn Steel Works until 1985, when a new gate opened by Soviet machines reestablished the psychic link to Vecna. Via this fragment, Vecna began kidnapping and possessing multiple humans and rats known as the "Flayed", feeding them chemicals and melting their bodies into puddles of biomass. This biomass was then combined to create a proxy form, through which Vecna could directly act in the human world; like the Mind Flayer, this proxy form also resembled a spider, and had the same flame-shaped head. The proxy form succeeded in wounding Eleven, causing her abilities to become neutralized. However, the proxy form was rendered useless after the new Gate was shut by Will's mother Joyce Byers and Chief of Police Jim Hopper, and the psychic link disabled once again.
A fearsome entity aligned with the Upside Down, Vecna had humble origins as the human Henry Creel. After moving to a new home in Hawkins in 1959, the young Henry discovered he had remarkable psychokinetic abilities and could manipulate the perceptions of others. Motivated by a misanthropic and nihilistic philosophy, Henry used his powers to psychologically torture his family, eventually killing his mother and sister. After Henry’s father, Victor, was falsely presumed to be the killer, Victor was imprisoned and driven further into madness. Elsewhere, in Kamchatka, Hopper escaped a Soviet labor camp, with the help of his friends Joyce and Murray Bauman. After evading a captured adult Demogorgon, the group discovered a room full of Demodogs preserved in cryogenic tanks, along with a piece of the Mind Flayer. Despite reaching Yuri Ismaylov's safehouse in Kyrzran, the group decided to return to the camp after hearing that their allies and loved ones in Hawkins were in danger. They hoped that by destroying the fragment of the Mind Flayer, they could deal damage to the Upside Down's hive mind, and assist their friends in need.
Vecna first employed this tactic in March 1986, against Chrissy Cunningham, a popular student and head cheerleader at Hawkins High School. Despite Chrissy's popularity and outward cheerfulness, she was secretly suffering at home; Chrissy's mother would frequently verbally abuse her and make hurtful comments about her weight. After choosing to target Chrissy, Vecna started to make Chrissy experience severe headaches, nosebleeds, and nightmares. On March 14, Chrissy first reported these symptoms to the school guidance counselor, Ms. Kelley. Vecna Headphone Stand | Headphone Holder, Gaming, Room Decor, Office, Desktop | Vecna Paintable Bust Following Eleven's resistance, Vecna sought after Eleven's 'power', which he identified as "a means to open [his] own doors" ( gates). [8] In the same way that the “powerful psychic connection” between Eleven and the Demogorgon of 1983 triggered the opening of the Mothergate, Vecna could form similar psychic connections with human beings in the regular world, exercising these connections to open new gates. Vecna seemingly acquired Eleven's ability to influence minds from across dimensions after a piece of the Mind Flayer's proxy body bit Eleven in July 1985, a being that the possessed Billy said was “made for” her.From “the early days” of the show, the Duffer Brothers knew that “Number One” was the “entity controlling everything”. During Stranger Things 2’s development, the Duffers developed ideas for a separate villain, inspired by classic horror antagonists Freddy Krueger, Pennywise, and Pinhead. In the writers’ room for Stranger Things 4, the Duffers decided to merge the two concepts into one character. [15] In his free time, Shane loves going for runs and playing with his 16-year-old beagle Butterscotch. Butters for short, she has been the greatest love of his and inspires him everyday, both creatively and emtionally. On top of that, he's now a huge collector. He loves Funko Pop, McFarlane Toys, and Neca's huge line of horror figures. In the last two years he has been going to a lot of conversations to buy an unhealthy amount of figures. This has also allowed him to meet some of his favorite filmmakers/actors like Mike Flanagan, Matthew Lillard, John Carpenter, Grace Caroline Curry, Steve Burns and Kathryn Newton. A miniature device of unknown technology that neutralizes a person's psychokinetic abilities when implanted. Henry intended to kill Victor in the same manner, but he had inadvertently ruined his plans to do so by turning on the radio. The music playing on the radio provided Victor with an anchor to reality; he thought he heard "the voice of an angel", allowing him to break free of his son's control. Upon snapping out of the trance, Victor collapsed. Henry also collapsed and passed out, as he had greatly overexerted his powers, and entered a coma. Stranger Things’ Creators Answer Burning Questions About Eleven’s Origins, Will’s Sexuality (and Birthday!) and More Ahead of Volume 2" Variety. June 2, 2022.
According to Dr. Brenner, Vecna would take "everything" from his victims and "everything they ever will be", including their memories and abilities. The psychic avatars of his deceased victims remained within the Mind Lair upon their deaths, tied up by vines to various pillars and tree trunks. By the early months of 1959, Virginia's great-uncle had passed away, leaving her a small fortune that was used to buy a large house in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. Victor and Virginia hoped the move could mark a fresh start for Henry and Alice, but Henry was pessimistic: he didn’t see how Hawkins would be different to any other place he had lived. Colonel Sullivan traveled to Ruth, Nevada to question former Hawkins Lab director Dr. Sam Owens about Eleven's whereabouts. Owens did not give Sullivan the information he wanted, but after seeing the images of Chrissy's mutilated corpse, Owens recognised her murder as the work of Henry Creel. Targeted on March 26, 1986 [4]. Subjected to a vision involving Vecna's Mind Lair, the corpse of her deceased friend Barb, and the secret origins of Henry Creel. Survived.
Behind Vecna’s ‘UV texture crawl’ vines, the fight of a Demogorgon, and the de-ageing of Millie Bobby Brown" befores & afters. June 22, 2022. With the Mind Flayer at his side, Vecna’s powers greatly expanded. The Mind Flayer’s body could split into smaller pieces while sharing a collective consciousness. These smaller pieces could possess other creatures and beings, tying them to the same core consciousness; through the Mind Flayer, Vecna could connect various lifeforms to a shared hive mind, with Vecna's will at the top of the chain. Through the hive mind, a diverse range of beings fell under Vecna's control, including "demogorgons", the "Flayed" of 1985, and "demobats", as well as the roots and vines strewn across the surface of the Upside Down. Vecna would cause his victims to hallucinate against their will; he would augment or replace their usual perception of reality with non-existent phenomena of his choosing. He hoped to psychologically 'break' his victims by exploiting their memories, trauma and mental health issues; he would tailor and personalize each hallucination to maximize the destabilizing effect on the victim's mental state. Despite his hatred of humanity, Vecna begrudgingly developed a shred of respect for his defiant victim, Max Mayfield, even describing her as "brave", and "much braver" than her 'brother'; nevertheless, Vecna remained dead-set on killing Max, viewing her death as a means to an end to achieve his goals, as with his other victims. On March 25, Max struggled to describe Vecna's domain to her friends, drawing an illustration of the fractured house. Though Max didn't know it, Nancy realised she had drawn a fragmented version of Victor Creel's house. Some time later, Max, Nancy and their friends broke into the abandoned home, looking for clues that could shed light on Vecna's identity.
After chasing Hopper and Joyce around the Soviet base for a lengthy period, the Demodogs and Demogorgon gathered in the same spot, allowing Murray to burn the Demodogs to death with Yuri Ismaylov's flamethrower. The fully grown Demogorgon survived, but moments later, Hopper used a sword to behead the creature. The deaths of the Demodogs and Demogorgon weakened everything else connected to the hive mind: the bats, the vines, and even Vecna himself. The vines restraining Nancy, Steve and Robin writhed in pain, releasing the three and allowing them to reach the alternate version of the attic. There, they finally witnessed Vecna in the flesh, his body eerily suspended above the floorboards. In January of 2021, Jamie Campbell Bower was first spotted filming at the studio with other cast members. [20] Henry Creel was born sometime between 1944 and 1950 to Victor and Virginia Creel, and had a sister named Alice. He did not fit in with his peers; his father described him as a "sensitive" boy. According to Henry, his teachers and doctors said he was "broken". [1] [2] [3] [4] 1959 [ ] A fresh start [ ]
When attempting to open gates through this method, Vecna would strategically prey on teenagers with trauma, or experiencing mental health issues. He would go out of his way to psychologically torture his victims, making them experience disturbing and disorienting hallucinations, before ultimately killing them. The victim’s suffering, panic and eventual death seemed to be key to Vecna’s ability to open gates, likely maximizing the strength of the psychic connection. Vecna’s ultimate goal was to open four gates. At the Creel house, Max made herself vulnerable to Vecna's influence, turning off her cassette player. With Lucas watching over her, she began hallucinating again, and Vecna stalked her through her mind once more. For a moment, Max escaped into her memory of the 1984 Snow Ball at Hawkins Middle, but Vecna eventually broke through and cornered her. Vecna started the gate-death ritual, only to be interrupted by Eleven, who had found her way inside the same memory. Eleven and Vecna became engaged in conflict, using their powers to throw objects at each other. Vecna managed to incapacitate both Eleven and Max, taking them into his mindscape and using vines to bind them to the fractured house.
