His story:

Edwin Miller grew up as a poor boy :(

His father was sent to work in a factory far away, and his mother and sister disappeared one night and were never seen again. He was taken in by a kind mechanic, who taught him his ways. He eventually got good enough to be known all over as a great engineer.

One day, an envious apprentice of the kind mechanic attacked Edwin with a knife in the eye, and was stopped by a police man and later hung for attempted murder. Edwin nearly died, as the blade was inches from his brain, but miracle medics saved him and using new technology, replaced his eye with a mechanical one fitted in with his eye patch.

Look at it in 3d, his eye patch thing looks better.
