Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 3

I have a litlle question.I heard somewhere that Oswald has a phobia of blood,just like Daniel had a phobia of darkness.Is that true or just a rumor?

It seems a little counter-intuitive for a man with a phobia of blood to start up a meat company. That's just me though, I mean, if he's the head honcho, he probably doesn't have to see or do the dirty work, but still, there's clearly a lot of blood to be seen in the meat industry.

It's not like people are born with phobias; development of phobia is usually induced by a traumatic event (experienced either by one or somebody else, he/she knows) or simply taking it after other people we have relations with.

Therefore, I find it quite plausible (even if not true) that such phobia might have been developed by Oswald when he experienced some very traumatic event - which could be the the tragedy that's mentioned in the game's description. As far as I know, he's been the "head honcho" even before the trip to Mexico.
