Dr. Joseph White

Name and Rank: Doctor Joseph White

Occupation: Former surgeon of Cottage Institute

Status: Incarceration in Bethlem Royal Hospital Unknown

Doctor White's previous career and history are mostly unknown. The doctor came to light working as a surgeon in a small self-built practise in London. Opening his doors to all potential patients allowed a diverse and broad selection of people who were unlikely to be reported missing.

His research in "The Cottage Institute" appeared to focus predominantly on vicious and cruel experimentation on living people, from vivisection to lobomisation.

On his subsiquent arrest, following the escape of a captive "patient", Dr.White proved to be articulate and highly intelligent - though entirely and unquestionably without moral or ethical code, or restraint.

During trial for his crimes, several witnesses came forth claiming to be former colleagues from various hospitals, including Bethlem Royal; wherein Dr.White allegedly practised before disappearing (usually with equipment and following a higher loss of patients). If these are to be believed, then it would provide an explanation for White's understanding of psychological "care".

Due to expense and amount of evidence found already at his surgery, Dr. White was incarcerated as clearly insane without further investigating his history.

The surgeon's philosophies appear to circle around "Improving" the body and mind through surgery, with an emphasis on purification through pain. His work focuses on "understanding" through observation of active flesh (vivisection) and unfounded experimenation in attempted transplants and replacement parts, from various sources.

Bethlem Royal notes in his psychiatric review:

"White suffers from an extreme narcassitic god complex. He sees people to be essentially worthless clay to be played with. He freely admits to his horrific experiments and shows no signs of regret or revulsion. He also states without shame he has little regard for hygiene of his patients, nor care and due process to avoid risk of damage or harm to organ or donor.

White is to be kept seperate from his former nurse, Rosaline Mayborn with whom he conducted many of his surgeries - both on her and on patients together.

White is vicious, cold and to be considered incredibly unpredictable and violent."
