The big twist is that he's really this for Booker DeWitt. He seems to be this universe's version of Andrew Ryan, with an ideology similar to Sofia Lamb's.Booker's reappearance might have reminded him, at least subconsciously, that he's a fraud and a murderer, and pushed him back Off the Wagon. Comstock, who didn't, became a religious fanatic in order to justify his actions. Not terribly surprising, as while both he and Booker both spiraled into addiction after Wounded Knee, Booker eventually squared with his past. The Alcoholic: In both Comstock's quarters and the adjacent stateroom on the Hand of the Prophet, there is a fairly considerable amount of booze scattered around.Comstock took it to believe that all his sins were instead made into virtues, and doubled down. This is because he ended up Dramatically Missing the Point of baptism - it's supposed to be a metaphorical cleansing of sin, where you Go and Sin No More with a clean slate. Aesop Amnesia: Despite it being guilt over his atrocities at Wounded Knee that initially drove him to the baptism, afterwards, he started treating them as glorious achievements, played up his involvement and referring to himself as the "Hero of Wounded Knee".Though technically he's still not her father, Comstock still took her as his charge and called her his "miracle child" for the longest time, even to all of Columbia. She didn't even know he was her father for the longest time until she broke out of her tower. It's shown that this treatment eventually leads her to cross the Despair Event Horizon and become another version of him. Comstock later brutally tortures Elizabeth by being stabbed with wires and 'drained' to power one of his doomsday machines. Abusive Parent: He had Elizabeth locked up in a tower for her entire life, and that's just the start of it.
