Character Biography[]
Orson LeRoux is a murderer and rapist introduced in "Genesis 1" who claimed that he was possessed by a demon named Roy in order to claim an insanity plea as a defense for killing three families; including a six-year-old boy. He was also a former patient of Dr. Kristen Bouchard, which is why she was the one to conduct his evaluations where she determines that he was deceitful so his story about blacking out couldn't be trusted. Later, after being interviewed by Dr. Leland Townsend he starts to make claims of being possessed by a demonic entity named Roy. Orson almost managed to convince Kristen of his possession by telling her private information she'd never shared with him and vehemently denying he was actually possessed to make the claim more convincing; he also violently assaulted Kristen when she recited the Lord's Prayer. It is revealed, however, that Leland Townsend had encouraged, coached and later provided LeRoux with a private tape of Bouchard's information to assist in his lies.
