So this is whats called DID(dissociative identity disorder) (I was diagnosed with this), and basically due to repeating trauma, the personality traits split at a young age, and Im assuming that at the beginning, he was whats called the 'inner world', or thats what theyre usually called, but basically, its like a home for the alter(s). The personality is more of an identity, being its own person but inside the same body, its super complicating, but they dont share memories or anything, and its really hard to be aware or even communicate. The alters can have their own gender identities, ages, names, etc.
