Milligan, you see, was found to have 24 distinct personalities within him, each one motivating him in different directions--a case of multiple personality never before diagnosed. Some of his personalities were harmless, others just bizarre. But when one, Ragen (Milligan had different first names for each personality) surfaced, Milligan became "the keeper of hate"--and a rapist...
