 Despite all of this, Creed is outwardly quite cheery most of the time and is tolerated (or simply ignored) by his fellow employees.In "The Injury," he claims to have been in an iron lung when he was a child.In a deleted scene from "The Convict" Creed states that he has been incarcerated before and that prison is where he obtained the name "Creed", though he later changes his story, implying that he had previously killed a man named Creed Bratton and assumed his identity.
