In mid-1999, the creature that would soon become Pico.swf was born within the void between dimensions. It is unclear how he came to be, the creature was born within a cataclysm brought on by multiple forms of primordial energy accidentally ramming into each other all at once after said energy was trying to assemble itself in a creative manner. These "ingredients" created a sentient mass of [REDACTED], a creature purely made of primordial energy.

After W was born, he explored the recesses of subspace, floating in the darkness as a giant blob of pure dark energy with one red eye. Suddenly, he discovered a dimensional window that revealed planet Earth and all that it contains. It is here that W learned about humans and Pico, and right then and there he was utterly fascinated by both, mostly by Pico, who he was smitten with.

W then copied Pico's very image and formed a suitable body that would house all his energy, a body that all in the universe would remember. After he created his body, his eyes experienced great pain and started to bleed, a distinguishable birth mark. W was seemingly unshaken by the pain his eyes made, and instead laughed, his very first laughter echoing through the void; a testimonial example that W was born as something that can be considered pure evil.

W decided that all the living creatures on Earth (namely the humans) were meant to be under his control, that he was born to have all of humanity to himself and himself only until the very end of time. He realized that in order to have his slaves he needed to have a place to keep them all in, a world where they (in his view) would live forever in harmony with him as their king, a world where he was a GOD.

This is how he discovered his true power: W can manipulate reality in any way he desires. With his reality-warping powers he was able to create his own dimension in a matter of hours. The way he layouted his world was by making "rooms" in his world, several them based off of the levels in the Pico video games (Example being Hill Act 1 being based off of the school from Pico's School), albeit in his own sinister style.

After creating the basis for his world, W grew more egomaniacal about his powers, viewing his creativity as superior beyond all else. He was really eager to have humanity under his command, hoping to show them all how "wonderful" his newly-built home looked. Unfortunately W learned that he did not truly exist in the other universe and thus was not able to access into the human world very easily. He was, however, able to channel some of his powers into it to find ultimate access into it.

W used his powers to find a way into the human world, and found a suitable alternative through an unknown computer programmer. This programmer was highly skilled at what he did, in fact, his skills were said to be near U.S. government levels, and W believed him to be his ticket to glory. With his powers, W "influenced" the programmer to create a computer game that would serve as a temporary doorway between the human world and his own.

The final tool required to make such an object is a sample of W’s own essence, so he could have full control over the system of the game within. W sent out a piece of his dark power to the human world, which arrived into the game in a manner similar to that of a meteorite. The newly made game disk survived the resulting explosion brought on by the shard of power, but the programmer was nowhere to be found, and thus presumed dead. The piece of W's power is said to have made a huge W-shaped crater when it landed.

W began his human collecting when the disk started getting handed down person to person, every time a human inserted the disk and downloaded the "game", W gained full access into that person's computer and in turn total control over it as well. As the person plays the game, W uses his reality-altering powers to show that person what's in his world due to the game being a gateway into it, serving as a window between the worlds. Once the game is finished W could channel more of his powers into the human world to spy on the human who played it (such as sending a Pico plush as a spy or creating horrific illusions), until the time to steal their soul came.

The first time W captured a human was rather hasty; when he obtained their soul he did it very poorly, resulting in the mouth, throat and chest getting quite mutilated, yet the body was still alive due to the loss of the soul causing merely a Persistent Vegetative State. As time went on W’s captures became more and more careful and elaborate to the point that W simply used his powers to pull the soul out rather than just using his hands, leaving the body unharmed yet still in a Persistent Vegetative State. Each time W stole the soul, he always carved a number into the chest of the victim to keep track of each of his victims in order.

As the attacks continue over the few years, news starts to come in about them and the police begin to classify the case as "the Pico.swf Murders" (it's not entirely accurate to call them murders due to the bodies of the victims still being technically alive), based on the evidence that the downloaded game called "Pico.swf" remains inside each computer but is unplayable. W was amused at how the police coined the name "Pico.swf" and thus decided to call himself that.
