Raymond Mantus

Mantus is a Morlock found in Margaret Leonard's swamp house. He was one of the founding memebers of Tesla Legacy Society. As many other members, he agreed to die and be put in cryogenic sleep and later be reanimated. All this was for the greater cause of resurrecting Charles Johansson. As with most other morlocks, he has physical deformities, and needs medicine to cure his madness of the mind.
After Johansson was reanimated and took the role as the Translator, he stopped believe in his cause. On Johansson's orders Big Jim Slade killed all opposing members of the Tesla Legacy Society including Mantus' wife. The event sparked Mantus' quest for revenge, which he eventually gets when jumping onto Slade at the top of Coit Tower.
