Backstory

After Victor had made and lost his first creature, he decided to try again.

Unlike the Ushers or say, Dracula, Victor was not the last of the line.

Frankenstein was and is a common name in Germany, and in Central Europe in general.

The Frankensteins come from an old and respected family.

Blood relations number in the relative thousands.

And in Europe during the mid-Eighteenth Century, many died in the prime of life.

War, suicide, sickness, infirmity, murder, hanging, plague, disease, famine, starvation.

Victor traveled constantly, studied genealogy, and kept scrupulous records.

He maintained an inventory of treasured family heirlooms.

And one day Victor built himself the best lab assistant he possibly could make.

One day Victor built... himself. A twin. A brother. A son. An... Other.

The son he'd never had. The partner always denied him. The perfect co-conspirator.

Until it all went wrong...
