Dr. William Raines has been with the Centre as long as anyone can remember. At first, it seemed he was above Mr. Parker, but with the ever changing ranks at the Centre, Mr. Parker soon put Raines in his place.

Raines’ wife was named Edna and they had a child together. Her name was Annie. She was kidnapped and murdered when Jarod was a young boy. The Centre tried to have Jarod help with the search for the kidnapper; however, by the time they found him it was too late. Sometime after that, Mr. Raines got Jarod hooked on drugs and then killed an orderly who told Raines what he has done to Jarod was wrong.

Raines became the keeper of Kyle, Jarod’s brother. Raines brainwashed Kyle into behaving like a sociopath. It seemed Raines had done something like this before with a boy named Dannie who turned into a sociopath named Einnad. Einnad was drugged and brainwashed by Raines. To cover his tracks with Einnad/Dannie, Raines tried to have Einnad murdered.

Years after, Edna Raines disappeared and everyone assumed she was dead. However; in April 2000, Miss Parker discovered she was still alive and in an institution. Apparently she lost her mind and Raines put her there. After Miss Parker found her, Edna escaped from the hospital and started to leave messages for Miss Parker about Catherine Parker. Raines had Edna killed because she knew too much.

In May 2000, Miss Parker learned that Raines had killed her mother months after she has supposedly already died and after giving birth to Ethan.

In 2001, it was discovered that Rains was born Able Parker but was given up because he was the weak son. Mr. Raines is now running the Centre. Also in has come to everyone’s attention that Raines is Mr. Parker’s brother and Miss Parker and Lyle’s father.
