Dr. Henry Seward

Name and Rank: Dr. Henry Seward

Occupation: Chief Administrator/Former warden of Bethlem Royal Hospital

Status: Missing

Dr. Seward, of London, was the active warden of Bethlem Royal Hospital for the Insane for a period of several years.

During his tenure, he over saw various new developments in medical care, treatments and research.

His over all goals, discussed in various well recieved papers outlined his desire not only to help man but also to cure - or at least improve the lives of - his various subjects.

Towards the end of his time at Bethlem Royal, Dr. Seward became increasingly interested in the works of several specific inmates.

He believed that though these unfortunates belonged within the confines of his hospital, many were capable of still contributing to society, be it in work release programs or via their own research.

Developing this, working closely with patients whom had demonstrated the best levels of coherancey, safety and willingness to cooperate, Dr. Seward began a program allowing for select inmates to continue research in their fields of expertise. First to allow them a constructive focus, and second to seek new methods of improving the lives of mankind.

The principle being that though the inmates could be dangerous in public, due to slack proceedures or dubious moral standing, when given a focused and structured enviroment their intellect and creativity may produce new wonders.

Seeing success with this program, Dr. Seward gained backing for his most ambitious symposium - Project: Bedlam.

Taking the colloquial term for his hospital, Bedlam, as a title, Dr. Seward arranged for his most promising patients to be allowed access to supervised laboratories and facilities in order to demonstrate their capabilities.

Though his public announcement was met with concerns, his history of diligence afforded him satisfactory leeway to proceed.

Disappearance
It is unknown at what point the man posing as "The Warden" took control of Project: Bedlam. Details are still coming to light. However, witnesses to the event reported a man matching Dr.Seward's description being led through the event in a straightjacket, screaming and denouncing "The Warden" as an imposter.

It is reported that Dr.Seward was used in an experimental form of lobotomy, conducted by escaped inmate Dr. White - essentially erasing his personality.

Henry Seward remains missing, pressumed dead following the police and military incursion of the Project: Bedlam symposium.
