Benjamin Janners

Benjamin Janners was an Akarvian surgical doctor and serial killer known for the horrifying experiments he performed on his victims. By all accounts, Janners was an ordinary child and an incredibly dedicated and intelligent students, recognized as one of the most promising future medical professionals in the nation.
In 57 AE, at age 22, Janners left his medical training and cut off all contact with the people he knew. Later that year he commit his first murder, and when the body was found it was discovered that Janners had swapped their organs with those of a pig. Four more horrifying crimes of this nature occurred over the next two years, with Akarvian officials having no lead on who was responsible.
At the end of 59 AE Janners made an attempt at kidnapping a girl in Akarv City, but when he failed she managed to see his face and was later able to describe him to Akarvian officials. Sketch artists were able to create an image and within weeks it had been used to identify the assailant as Janners. The search for Janners ultimately led investigators to his lab where they discovered the horrifying truth that he was behind the horrifying crimes they'd previously had no lead on. Unfortunately Janners eluded their capture, and the search was all but halted the following year when the Fall of Voldrania occurred.
Attempts were made by Akarv to sort through everyone evacuating to find criminals and other wanted people, to either arrest them or leave them behind. This process forced Alan Fruith to abandon hope of escape, but Janners was one of few known criminals to slip on board nonetheless. He managed not to draw attention to himself throughout the voyage to New Voldrania and the early years of reestablishment, but once the structure of society had returned he resumed his killings.
In 64 AE Janners commit his sixth murder, but this time officials immediately recognized his "work" and the manhunt for Janners began all over again. He managed to elude capture and commit two more murders before 66 AE when he was believed to have fled to the new nation of Namess, likely due to his known Interferist beliefs. After his alleged escape to Namess Janners went quiet, and it remains unknown if he killed anyone else from that point on. Namess denies harboring him, even signing the Treaty of the Namessian Strait in 69 AE that binded them to turning over all known Akarvian criminals.
Janners location, even whether or not he still lived, remained a mystery for years to come.
