Mysterious Head Master

In all our lives there are mysterious people, people who keep secrets from others. Don't get me wrong, we all have secrets, but some people's entire lives are a giant secret to others. One of these people is Dr. Nero, the Head Master of H.I.V.E. in the book H.I.V.E. by Mark Walden. Dr. Nero's whole life is in secrecy, and two of the biggest secrets is how he got the other half to one of his students necklace of the Yin and Yang, and his whole life at H.I.V.E. Wing, the student with the necklace, just has the yin of the two, but when Dr. Nero jumps in front of Wing to save his life from a monster, it rips open the doctor's shirt to reveal that he has the perfect match to the Yin. This event takes place in the end of the book and doesn't explain why until the next book sadly, so not even I know the reason. Another secret that Nero has is practically his whole life of educating kids to overthrow governments and upset the peace of the world. Nero's plans for the students of his so called "school" are incredibly ridiculous, but the fact that he's been doing it for many years is an incredible fact that it works. What he wants his students to achieve is to accomplish impossible tasks, but to do them in style. Instead of shooting missiles at an aircraft carrier, he teaches them to think outside the box. One of the greatest examples he gave was how one of his graduated students sunk an aircraft carrier, but used a giant robotic squid. Instead of blowing up a building, another graduated student created a giant robot and let it rampage throughout the city. Dr. Nero's vision is obviously insane, but it is admittedly tempting. Most kids dream of being the goody goody superhero who saves the day, but they are secretly attracted to the evil side. They get the better weapons, costumes, and most are billionaires. They are also free to do what they want, not being held back by the restrictions of the law. To be able to do all of this, he must be very secretive and not show his weaknesses, or to say it simply, be secretive.
