Derek Glidester

Derek Cody Glidester is the primary antagonist of The Blackmailing Burden. He is a flying lizard photographer who makes a living by secretly blackmailing whoever he desires without getting caught with his special night-visioned camera.

History
Derek grew up in Atlantic City, New Jersey. As a kid, Derek was really sneaky, but was always caught by his big brother Michael, and little brother Josh, and punished. Josh worked for paparazzi while Michael worked at McDonalds. Derek, however, wasn't that bright for his behavior and unsuccessful stealth attempts.

Derek knew he would get his chance to get payback on his tattle-tailing brothers if it was the last thing he did. He almost got away with it when he stole his father's wallet, and framed Michael for it because Josh got his picture. Because Derek wouldn't let him get away with it, Josh made hundreds of duplicates of the picture showing Derek's stunt, and Derek tried so hard to get rid of them all. His father, however, fell for his stunt, and punished Michael. But after a few attempts, Derek's father finally saw one of Josh's pictures, and gave Derek a good spanking.

After that, Derek had had enough of always getting caught and hated Josh for taking the picture. So, in a quest for payback, Derek stole Josh's camera, and blackmailed him by revealing his secret crush to the public. Josh was laughed at and humiliated, and confronted Derek. Derek refused to give him his camera back until he apologized for tattle-tailing on him along with Michael. Of course, Josh didn't do that, and to prevent him from tattling again, Derek threatened to destroy his camera. So Josh remained silent, and Derek continued blackmailing him as Josh still refused to apologize.

Then, Derek went after Michael. He blackmailed him by taking pictures of him making out with his girlfriend, and revealing it to the public. Michael was also unable to stop him as Derek threatened to turn his girlfriend against him. Josh and Michael were blackmailed of their lives, and still refused to do what Derek said. This went on for months, and Derek was starting to get popular for publishing the funniest newsprint ever, and nothing could stop him.

But then, after Derek had blackmailed his brothers by taking pictures of them in the shower, they both had had enough. They decided to finish it by sneaking the camera away from him, and blackmailed HIM by taking funny pictures of him in his sleep like straws up his nose, his thumb in his mouth, his mouth full of water, and even his finger up his nose. Then when they were done, they slid the camera back on his neck, and went off.

The next day, and Derek having no idea what happened during his sleep, he came to school only to find himself being laughed at. Then he discovered his brothers' stunt, and got furious. Now, with his humiliation, Derek was teased, teachers hated him, his friends abandoned him, and his parents even found out, and gave him an even HARDER spanking, and forced him to give back the camera after convincing him by whipping him with a belt. After that, he was the laughing stock of his school.

Derek, having been humiliated for the last time, had decided that Josh and Michael were complete douches, and decided to end them. He murdered Michael, and made it look like an accident. Josh, having been younger, had discovered Derek's stunt, and couldn't tattle again because Derek threatened to kill him if he did. And so, Josh had no choice. He stayed silent, and his camera was also destroyed so he wouldn't get away with it again.

Years later, at age 25, and Josh at age 14, Derek had been respected because since Michael's 'accident', they felt bad for Derek, and felt sorrow for him. And Josh was forbidden to tell his parents nor anybody else about his murder or would risk himself being murdered as well. It wasn't too long before Derek got a job at The Daily Photon after getting a night-visioned camera. After he got the job, he decided to make others feel his pain, and let the world know to never mess with him.
