He was a criminal.
I think he stabbed a prison officer through the cheek with a pencil, and he was put in solitary confinement
in a bunker-like cell. All the other prisoners perished,
but he survived, albeit badly burnt, because there was
a tiny grill window in the cell, and he subsequently joined
the Barnum & Bailey Circus and was exhibited as a celebrity, as the sole survivor of this eruption. [booming]
