Gustav Mendelssohn

Gustav Mendelssohn was a factory worker. He is most known for being the only unaccounted-for employee of Saunders' Snacks Assortments, a local candy manufacturing plant, when it exploded in June of 2055. As the rest of the employees were located dead or alive, he was never found.

People who knew Gustav claimed to see him around his apartment shortly after the incident, albeit heavily disfigured, but he disappeared not long after. Through following decades, several people have reported seeing the same figure roaming the sewers of NYC.

A slightly-palliated version of Gustav's story has become folklore in the areas of NYC, Jersey City and Newark, with parents using it to convince their children to stay away from the NYC sewers so "Gus the Slime Monster" doesn't "get" them, when in reality, it's to distance them from the pseudo-crime highway that the NYC sewers are.
