Alex Frankenstein, Victor's perfect double, ages more slowly than Victor, and now appears much younger. Although Victor is a hundred years old, secret regenerative and life extension techniques make him appear around fifty. Although he created Alex several decades ago, Alex still looks like Victor did then, as if he is in his thirties.
The long and short of the tale is that it's an Evil Twin/Buddy Picture/Road Movie setup, and that Alex is the Time Traveler, who has ambitions of being the First Emperor of the Solar Realm, Alexander of Telluria, Victor the First, K'zar of Helios-Sol, Savior of Bahram, Protector of Zuhura, Vanquisher of the Conspiracy. He thinks Victor's fascination with monsters is dangerous, but useful to him in his scheme to defeat the other four Peoples of the Yellow Star: the Daughters, the Ghost Angels, the Moonfolk and the Strangers.
