Mitchell Simmons was a gas station attendant at A Lil' Gas-E. He had been turned down by Elias Kingston University, so he scared all the other students away by dressing up in the guise of the Ghost of Elias Kingston. His father, Joe, who had been head of security at the university for fifteen years, was also angered by this, and helped him get his revenge. During this time he had got a job at A Lil' Gas-E.
