Personal history
Ragtime has alluded to being a natural cosmic force or simply an alien being. But its origins, whereabouts or even where in space it came from is a mystery. But from what other alien beings on earth have noticed, it probably has a connection to the Red Clusters. Red Clusters are zones in space where planets and civilizations ate themselves one by one.
Ragtime has taken a personal interest in ritualistic and symbolic murderers. Using them to put fear and discord in cities where he has plans for before he arrives. This has caused him to frequently battle Hex Hunter, who considers him his greatest enemy.

Intellectual Characteristics
Ragtime can pick up on a few things. The most important is how to scare people, he's noticed due to horror movies people aren't exactly terrified with the monster anymore. People now want to identify with the monster instead of run from it. So while he initially would appear to his victims as monstrous beings or in terrifying forms, they would try to talk to him. Like a therapy session or as if he were E.T. It was almost disgusting to him when he killed them from all the concern they had for him.
People are now more afraid of the unexpected, not a random car crash or a meteor dropping out of the sky. But the person who sits next to you with a bomb in their underwear, the helpful cashier who memorizes your address. They're terrified of the helping hand coming with a knife in the other. And that is something Ragtime can get behind.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Ragtime is drawn to pain, not in a desirable fashion or as a food source. As if a prisoner is forced to listen to nails on a chalkboard. He feels pain from others shiver down whatever he has that is considered bones. Killing those in pains dulls it for him but when people die in fear it's calming. But when powered people die afraid, it's like he becomes surrounded in velvet mufflers in a bed made of silk & rose petals. When he first got to earth he only went after people in pain. Now he stokes fear in the general populace so he can go after whoever he wants.
