My hat in for a doctor, I'll post a write up shortly.
Edit: and completed!
Name: Evan Brentley
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Personality: Detached, intense, driven. The son of minor but wealthy aristocracy, Evan was already a promising medical student at Oxford when his younger sister fell ill, descending rapidly into the same condition their mother suffered from years ago. The experience affected Evan deeply and instead of perfecting the art of a surgeon he began to study the science and anatomy of the mind. Adherents of the new Freudian methods of psychology had met with no success regarding his sister and Even quickly declared their quasi-science to be bunk. Instead, he followed the traditional view that the source of many mental illnesses was injury or disease in the brain or body chemistry, which could be resolved or managed with the correct medical treatment.
His work at Kerrington's allows a nearly endless procession of test subjects and information that Evan has taken full advantage of. He has been able to produce many examples of inmates who are significantly improved by chemical injections, electric therapy, various forms of stimulation and exercise and even surgery on the brain. There were, of course, some failures, but such is the cost of advancement.
Naturally, as a virile young man given unfettered access to the bodies and minds of an asylum full of women, Evan considers it a due benefit of his position to utilize the inmates for his own bodily needs. The practice keeps him focused on the care of the inmates and his sister, rather than distracted by troublesome romantic entanglements. This can even prove beneficial to the women: either calming them or, more promisingly, intensifying the experience of other treatments to enhance their effects.
Reason for Employment: Dr. Brentley graduated from a top university with honors; his innovative research has yielded notable accomplishments and holds the potential for monumental breakthroughs. His status as a gentleman further prevents any questions regarding the many less successful experiments, nor any questionable practices.
Position: Doctor
Description of Appearance: Evan is a young man with an impressive mustache, of middle height, slim yet athletic physique, midnight hair and piercing green eyes. Despite his wealth and background, Dr. Brentley is a man of practice and not presentation: he is usually seen at the Asylum in shirt-sleeves, or even without a vest, and often ventures out of doors without a hat. He has a fondness for cigars, bathing and complicated timepieces.
