Patrick Bateman

The person most people know as Patrick Bateman is a wealthy, conventionally attractive, well-built stock broker, with a good head on his shoulders and a bright future. But behind the carefully crafted charm lies an apathy and sadistic streak that is decidedly non-human. Bateman is a serial killer who preys on the weak. Prostitutes and the homeless are his preferred targets, although his ego can be hurt enough that he will lash out at his social peers, as well. The man descends into lunacy after killing dozens, only to find that his actions have incurred no consequences, and his black mark on society will never be stopped or even recognized. For the purposes of this thread, everything Patrick does and experiences will be taken as fact.
