I'm equally not familiar with Dist, but if it helps, when a friend was telling me about Abyss she described Dist as a fantasy version of Flemming.

If you're familiar with the standard Metal Gear, imagine an even more clingy, evil version of Otacon and you have Flemming. In canon Flemming did all sorts of terrible experiments and while he didn't do them in the AU, he wouldn't be opposed to them at all.
