Brando Syndrome

A mysterious and debilitating disease first reported in 2055, with Isaiah Brando as its first victim. Since then, numerous other victims have been reported, including Harmony Dawson and Rebecca Reed. The exact cause of the disease is unknown, but the first symptom is a visible black substance spreading across the skin, traveling along the veins and arteries. It starts along the throat and gradually travels downward. Eventually, the subject feels an acute sense of weariness and apathy, and gradually sinks into unconsciousness. While the subject can be kept alive on life support at this point, it is imperative that the subject be transferred to a hospital immediately, or else their organs will simply shut down.

In the twelve years since Brando Syndrome was first reported, less than 237 people have come down with the disease.
