Snailhead (Character)

Snailhead was a mutant reverend of the Neuro-emotional Church. He was one of the main dealers of amorine, a drug he growed as part of his religious belief. He had a romantic relationship with John Difool's mother and took care of John after her mother's suicide. After the Hunchbak Army's attack on the Mutant GTO he was left for dead,but the goverment actually used him as an informant, using just his skin and a few brain cells to preserve parts of his memory.

He made his first appearance in the first issue of Before the Incal: Farewell, Father.

Early life
Like all mutants born in the Mutant GTO he remained in the GTO until he reached the legal age of 21. He eventually became a reverend of the Neuro-emotional Church, holding some authority in the community.

Life in the Mutant GTO
While still working as a reverend he often visited the Daredevil Club to meet and supply amorine to John DiFool's mother, with whom he was romantically involved.

After DiFool's mother death he saved John from commiting suicide and took care of the boy, giving him a home at the Mutant GTO. He showed him the last message his mother recorded for John, and explained to him the process by which amorine is extracted from the flower amorose.

After the Mutant GTO was attacked by the Hunchback Army he was left for dead.

Use as an informant
His body was recovered by the Prezident, and using his skin and a few brain cells to preserve parts of his memory Snailhead was turned into a cybo-cop spy. On the payroll of the cybocops he infiltrated the psycho-anachist's organization. Although he rescued John and Luz from the cybo-cops and helped them get into the cancer-freak championship (seemingly sacrificing himself) he was actually working as a spy the whole time, recording John's conversations as incriminating evidence.

Etymology
His alias as a leader of the psycho-anarchists is "Great Squargo", a reference to escargot (french for snail). His anti-g hoverchair also resembles a snail's shell.
