Biography
Hassan was born in Somalia but immigrated to the United States where he took up residence in Jerusalem's Lot, Maine. He worked for the development of a community mall centre administrated by a fellow Somali, Abdi Howlwadaag.
Hassan was one of numerous residents of Jerusalem's Lot who fell victim to possession by the spirit of a 17th century cult member. While possessed, Hassan was responsible for the death of a boy named Timothy, whose body became the receptacle for another spirit.
