A geneticist of unparalleled genius, he foresaw the coming mutations that would transform mankind. He hired a group of thugs, whom he named Marauders, to kidnap people off the streets of London so he could perform experiments on them he even went so far as to dig up his dead son and experiment on him. He approached many groups in search of funding, including the Hellfire Club, though all turned him down. His son’s death (at the age of four from numerous birth defects, including crooked bones & hemophilia) drove him deeper into his work. His theories were mocked, making him bitter. While pursuing his own research in 1859, he discovered that humanity was undergoing increasing mutation, due to what he called “Essex Factors” in the human genome. Nathaniel Essex was a biologist in Victorian England who developed advanced theories on human evolution and was obsessed with Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, though he felt Darwin and his contemporaries were shackled by too many moral constraints.
