Ian Brady, born Ian Duncan Stewart on January 2, 1938, in Glasgow, Scotland, is a British serial killer and author.

Youth

As a young boy, Brady developed a deep fascination with Nazi Germany. He also developed a keen interest in the writings of the Marquis de Sade and Friedrich Nietzsche, focusing particular attention on Nietzsche's theories of Übermensch. Brady collected books about torture and sadomasochism and other paraphilias relating to domination and servitude. After being convicted of several minor crimes, he was sentenced to two years in a borstal. While incarcerated, he learned various techniques for becoming more proficient at his craft. Release led to prolonged stretches of unemployment. Eventually, he took a job at Millwards Merchandising as a stock clerk, where he met Myra Hindley, the other half of the internationally notorious Moors Murderers.
