WEIRDING WILLOWS Doctor Moreau

Doctor Philippe Moreau looks like Charlton Heston, except with more hair. He’s an unkempt man, unshaven and has wild hair. His hair is going gray at the temples and has a few wisps of gray running through it, other wise it is a muddy blond/brown color. He is a very tall, lean man. He eats only when his body won’t function any longer. Bread, cheese, cold meats and raw vegetables. That’s all he buys and Alice eats the same but more regularly and occasionally allows herself some eggs, bread and her favorite, Orange Marmalade. The food would be delivered to the door by the Milkman. There is a service that still runs in some places in England where the Milkman delivers milk, eggs, bread, cheese, most dairy products and some meat products like ‘pork pies’ and ‘cornish pasties’.

Moreau keeps his money around the house in several old pots so he never has to think about it. Alice helps herself whenever she needs it.

Moreau was fascinated by the theories raised in the works of Victor Frankenstein only he prefers working on living subjects. After studying briefly under Charles Darwin he believes he can force evolution forward through surgery and science.
