What's your character's full name?
Dr. Griffin (no living person knows his real first name, not even Millie, he's changed it so many times throughout his life and continues to change it when he sees fit.)
What's your favorite quote from your character?
"Here I am, aren't you pleased you've found me..."
What do they look like and what's their personality like?
Griffin is permanently invisible, although this doesn't extend to normal clothing, so if he wanted to make use of his powers, he had to do so naked or clothes that he's turned invisible, he is able to appear visible through the use of holograms he's invited, which uses his DNA to construct a completely accurate model of his visible self. When visible Griffin and Hawley are almost identical in their facial features with the exception that Griffin is an albino (meaning a paler completion and pink eyes) with slightly longer hair. He also has a more muscular build then Hawley do to his old strychnine habits, and the antivirus that keeps him in that shape and his nervous system in working order. Despite his ancient age he doesn't look a day over his thirties. Normally he wears an all white wool and cotton outfit (synthetic fabrics don't turn invisible well), with a marble white pocket watch that is a controller to his holograms. His clothes and invisibility hide a number of scars he's accumulated over the years, if caught visible without a shirt on it would reveal various stab wounds, animal bite and scratch marks, bullet hole marks, and needle holes. The largest most noticeable scar is on his chest, which looks like it had been beaten in, surgically cut open, and put back together.
Three words can describe the majority of Griffin's personality; ambitious, wrathful, and prideful. Griffin is a brilliant arcane scientists and whether it's getting power or revenge he'll stop at nothing and will do anything to reach his goals, murder included. Despite all the horrible things he's done over his long life he's never thought of himself as a bad man, merely a man trying to succeed in a world that is always against him, but he still shows or feels hardly if any remorse for his actions and shows little consideration for anyone but himself, furthermore the ages he's been alive has only made him more precise, cunning, and exceedingly deadly. The only person he seems to be remotely close to is his niece, but it's unclear whether it's because he does actually care or if he's just using her for his own benefits only. He is very untrustful and cautious towards everyone, he even finds it hard to open up to his niece. He's also learned to be able to adapt to his current surroundings, he had to learn if he was to survive through the changing times in his world and he tries to keep an open mind about what can be considered possible. Living through into the twenty-first century Griffin seems to have adopted a slightly more apathetic demeanor towards the world, and has gained a lot of guilty pleasures and addictions. One of the more innocent ones is his love for motion pictures which may have inspired his idea of using holograms for visibility.
What's their backstory before they came to the society?
(Griffin's backstory mostly coincides with Millie's and the H. G. Wells novel so I'm really condensing it as much as I can.)
Griffin started out at the age of twenty-two in the University College in Chesilstowe where he studied and taught physics, after dropping medicine , but left to pursue his research of invisibility in London. The first signs that he was running low on what little money he had he begrudgingly watched his niece for a hefty sum. He ended up being slightly amused he, but refused to regarded her as anything other than a way to fund his research at best, or a distraction at worst. When she left he only focused on his work, ignoring the occasional letters she sent. It wasn't long before the ran out of money again and when his father refused to give him a loan Griffin then stole the money himself which his father meant to pay off his own debts. When his father found out he committed suicide over it, Griffin claims that he doesn't feel the least bit sorry for it and did nothing to save his father's character. His older brother wouldn't go to the funeral when he found Griffin would be there and alienated him from the rest of the family, Griffin didn't care seeing as how close he was to achieving his goal. The first thing he turned invisible was a piece of white cloth, then a cat that ended up belonging to one of his neighbors. After turning himself invisible to avoid any repercussions, he set fire to his own flat and wandered the streets of London for a couple of days invisible and naked, during that time he found that invisibility wasn't quite as grand as he imagined. He was able to steal some money and a disguise, then went to Iping and took a room in the Coach and Horses Inn in late February of 1896. While he was in Iping he did his damnedest to continue his work and find a cure for his invisibility, he felt that the whole town was full of judgmental busybodies that wouldn't leave him alone when all he wanted to do was find a way back to normal. The worst of them was Mrs. Hall's odd and devious little assistant, Millie, which for some reason Griffin couldn't shake this feeling he's known her before; she certainly acted as though she knew him and more alarming what he was, though she never outright said anything. He finally recognized her as his niece after so many months, when he accused her of tracking him down here to blackmail him she claimed that she had been in the first long before he ever arrived and that all she wanted was for him to get out of town. When he refused to leave the tension between them escalated even faster than it before until they had gotten into a rather nasty scrimmage which reveal to him just what his niece had turned herself into during those four years apart from each other, and during the fight in all her monstrous fury, Millie bit into his arm and sunk her fangs almost to the bone, (needless to say, she won that fight). Not long after their little spat Griffin started to become gravely ill and that caused Millie to become more remorseful and decent towards him. She tried her best to nurture him back to health until she was forced to use her own cure to heal him, when he was starting to feel better though she went back to being a little arse to him again. Before long the money for his lodgings along with the townspeople's patients for his mannerisms were practically diminished, he burgled the vicarage to pay his bill but dew to the circumstances everybody automatically suspected him of the burglary when he tried to pay off his landlady. When they accused him of the crime he basically threw a fit, tore off his disguise and ran back to his room like a pouty teenager, and when the police came he stripped naked and ran away, but not before causing massive panic throughout the Inn. 
(The events from, "In Transit" to "The Invisible Man Loses His Temper", are straight from the H. G. Wells novel so I'm not going to put that here, in fact since the actual fan-fiction is in Millie's point of view those chapters aren't in that either, though I have originally planned on making the fan-fic a comic in which case all that will be in there. Just not in this version.)
After Griffin's 'demise' some of the Port Burdock citizens gave him some clothes and a cheap funeral (which was more like a circus attrection than a real funeral). A few weeks later he awakened in a pine box, six feet underground, and had to claw his way back to the surface. Since he was momentarily discouraged from getting his revenge, (I imagine near-death experiences would have that effect), at least until he was better prepared with some more solid strategy and now that everyone thought he was dead he wasn't being hunted anymore and had time to plan, and move around a little more freely. He was able to make his way to the continent, and survived on his own for a while until, he came across another scientist by the name of Dr. Langstrum. They seemed to get along, and Langstrum offers to be Griffin's benefactor and a partnership in his plans, which Griffin accepts. 
(Again most of the events in this part is already covered in the Millie Griffin Ref-page so we'll skip ahead to after Millie leaves him and Langstrom's betrayal.) 
Griffin looked for his niece for a few years before giving up on her and went ahead with his revenge on Marvel and Kemp, thankfully for Kemp he'd moved away before Griffin got around to him (Marvel not so much). He spent some time roaming around England, then was recruited by a certain . . . "league" for a while, until the war of the worlds. He managed to survive and fled back to Europe, and was living there until the first world war started. He escaped to America and when prohibition started he capitalizing on the opportunities it brought using his invisibility and knowledge to be a successful rum runner/bootlegger. He was recruited into one of the mobs which he was able to learn and work his way up, eventually usurped his way into power of , and ran for years even after the end of prohibition through the second world war and cold war. All the while he learned different skills that aid the use of his invisibility and kept experimenting to find a cure back to visibility with the always evolving technology. He ran what he liked to call his "Small Empire" with a iron, bloody, invisible fist until he started to tire of it and everything was falling apart, so he destroyed it all along with all the people involved, and retired from that life with the vast amounts of money accumulated from his crimes. This happened in the late nineties-early two thousands, he had already found a way to invent crood holograms from bulky machines just before his 'retirement' and used his wealth and extra time to create finer high-definition holograms with smaller and smaller devices until it's like the kit he uses today. Though he felt that he finally mastered what he had spent so much of his life to study, he couldn't publish his work without being convicted of a lot of the crimes he's gotten away with. He knew that the antivirus Millie injected in him has been keeping him young and alive this long so he decided to wait until he could safely publish his work. While he was in this slump just hopping between America and Europe doing just whatever, he heard on the news of a girl surviving after being frozen for over a century. He recognized the girl as Millie and went to get her back.
(once more this part was already mostly covered in Millie's questionnaire.)
A couple months after Millie found herself in the dimension she's currently in and came to the Society of Arcane Science Griffin found his way to this dimension as well. He was able to follow Millie to the society on the night of Lewis B. Weir's party, and they were once again reunited (and he made it very clear that he's sick of this having to look for her crap). Despite Millie's inquiries on how he got here and why he'd rather stay then go back home, he refused to tell her about it, implying that something horrible happened that he's run away from. Now he's trying to adjust back to Victorian life, which kind of sucks for him because he really misses the Twenty-first century technology.
Do you have any pictures of them that you drew or found?
(Uuuhhhhhh . . . Here! *throws old already used picture at you and runs*)

Do they have any nicknames?
Aliases include : The Voice, Invisible Man the First, the Unseen
False first names he's used and may be willing to answer to,(in alphabetical order) : Alan, Claude, Hawley, Herbert, Isaac, Jack, James, John, Michael, Robert, Sebastian, Vincent, Wendel; and the list goes on.
What do they study at the society?
Optical fragmenter
Do they have any jobs?
Retired (but may get back into his old professions again)
What is their age?
He relentlessly claims to be 39. (He's been 39 for over a century)
Are they human? If not what are they?
Human (dose being invisible count as a mutilation?)
Are they single, dating someone, or married?
single
What's their height?
6 ft.
What's their weight?
Sort of... medium... heavy-esh...?(I don't know!)
Anything else I should know about this character?
The most notable difference between him and Hawley is his experience. 
It's easy to underestimate him sometimes, and forget that he is a very accomplished murderer. He's very strong (not as much as Millie but still) and a tough, brutal fighter, severely injuring a number of opponents with only his hands and feet. He's been able to study magicians and steal their secrets to enhance his ability such as, escapism, slide of hands, and ventriloquism. Along with a great knowledge of chemistry, physics, and a decent amount of medicine he is well versed in multiple languages and cipher, and knows his way around technology. He's brought some technology from the twenty-first century, most of which are weapons far more advanced for the nineteenth century, but the most notable tech is his holograms. His holograms can not only make him visible or change his clothes appearance, but it can also change his appearance, so long as it's within the same body-type, until he resets it back to normal. The hologram also has a 'self-diagnostic' feature, where it can alert him if something's wrong, and it can make certain bodyparts show like bone, muscle, and organs.

Griffin decided that enough was enough. Whomever this... this... impostor was, he would find out. Knowing that Millie knew the impostor, Griffin rapped loudly on her door.
"OPEN UP! OPEN UP, MILLIE!" he shouted, his temper released.

Though Millie wasn't in her room, her uncle was. The door burst open to reveal the very rageful doppleganger, it was like looking into a slightly altered, really angry mirror.
"WHOEVER IT IS I AM NOT IN THE F*CKING MOOD!" he automatically shouted as soon as the door was open, before he realized who he was yelling at, though he still didn't care.
(and we're off to a good start...)

Hawley, registering the man at the door, and thankful that it wasn't Millie who answered; burst through the open door. He wasn't wearing any clothes, and so was completely invisible.
"Right, glad it was you." Hawley replied.

Griffin had one hand on the door and the other on the frame when he opened the door, creating a sort of human berrier, he took a step out without removing either hand, "So it's you, Millie told me you came back... good."
He closed the door behind him as he bluntly asked,"What do you want?"

Hawley poured himself a cup without waiting for an offer. He sipped it, but didn't swallow it. He could see it's digestion. Hawley quickly spat it back into the cup.
"Aheheh, you know; it's quite amusing." he laughed.

"No no, I wasn't talking about the cup; it's just amusing that two invisible gentlemen are talking together." Hawley corrected. His voice wasn't like his counterpart. It was sly, and insidious; like a violin scratch. "Quite remarkable."
"But anyway," he continued, eyeing a fire poker nearby. "What I want is not really the question here; it's what you want. What do you want?"

As if having the same thought sauntered up within grabbing distance of the poker, still casually twirling his watch, "Well that's simply answered; I want to be left alone,in peace. And if you find something like this quite remarkable then you haven't lived long enough."

Griffin listened to Hawley draw up to the fireplace as he spoke, suppressing a smirk. He caught his watch placing his thumb lightly on the button on the top as he placed the other hand on the poker, pretending to lean on it like a cane. 
"You deserve no such thing from me, it doesn't matter to me who you are it's my busyness alone. but if it makes you feel better, I'm not here for your research, I have my own work to worry about."

"Aheheh, I know you're not here for my research; you've done it already." Hawley replied, the cup still in his grip. Just a little closer. "Why are you here? Really? There's only you and me. And I think you know I'm not a blabber of secrets that easily."

He smiled, "Then you should know I'm the same way." he picked up the poker and started flipping it in the air catching it at the ends, as he did so ha walked away from the fireplace towards the desk. "I should definitely know better then to trust you with anything, especially secrets."

Hawley sighed. Idiot. He left the poker. He grabbed the fire poker and placed it into the fire. At last it glowed red, and the moment had come.
Hawley went to the door, and thrust the hot poker into the door.

It struck nothing, but Hawley felt a strong hand grip the wrist just below the poker hard from behind, and another hand on the back of his shoulder, in a moment he was flipped backwards and landed on his front, the hand still kept a tight grip on Hawley's wrist as his arm was twisted around his back and the poker pried out of his fingers. Griffin stomped his foot down hard in between Hawley's shoulder blades to keep him down as he pulled the arm up with a harder twist. Hawley suddenly saw the red hot tip of the poker centimeters from his face. 
"I suppose you know what happens to invisible skin when burnt. Aheheheh, I told you I wasn't in the mood."

Hawley tried to get up, but he knew that his doppelganger had the stronger hold. He frantically looked about; anything that might help him. In the scuffle, a tin had fallen to the floor. Bingo.
Reaching for it, he quickly raised it in the air. The contents, which turned out to be coffee powder, spread like a torrent of rain directly onto Griffin's face. Though most of them didn't meet the desired target, a teaspoon of them landed in his eyes.
((Also, can you not take complete control of Hawley, as said before. He would react a lot differently to the actions taking place without putting up a fight.))

The dust stung his eyes though he stubbornly refused to loosen his grip of Hawley as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand that still had the poker.
"YOU SH*TY LITTLE LEUCISTIC! I'LL KILL YOU!"
He raised the poker and was about to bring it down on Hawley when a different voice shouted from the door, "What in hell's name are you two doing!", and the poker stopped short from touching Hawley.

Griffin still had specks floating in his vision, when he finally saw who it was he immediately started playing the blame game.
"He started it!" he said pointing down at Hawley with the poker. "I was just minding my own business when he barged in, threw tea at me, I just got this out of his hand," he held the poker up for reference, "and threw coffee dust in my face, this is all his fault!"

Millie started storming up towards them now halfway into her beast form, "Give me that poker!" she demanded.
Griffin started to hold it out but dropped it,"Ops," the hot tip landed on Hawley's shoulder before rolling off, onto the floor, "clumsy me, Ahehehe."
Millie grabbed it up and shoved her uncle off Hawley, "Go sit down!"
"You can't tell me what to do." he said defiantly before she roared swiping at him with the hot poker, "Hey, watch it you little b*tch!" he said narrowly dodging the swing.
"And you!" she turned towards Hawley pointing at him with the poker, "For god's sake, put some pants on already!"

Hawley would've said: "I'm invisible, it doesn't matter". But he wasn't listening. He was screaming. The poker had seared a small patch of dead, burned skin in his shoulder; and he was cursing for Griffin to jump off a cliff and die.
"WHEN I GET UP I'M GOING TO TOSS YOU INTO A BOILING VAT OF WATER AND WATCH YOU DROWN AND BURN SIMULTANEOUSLY, YOU VICIOUS REPUGNANT CUR!" Hawley shouted at the top of his lungs as he grasped his shoulder. "AND I'M GOING TO LAUGH WHILE YOU DIE!"

Griffin didn't even try to suppress the grin on his face, as he enjoyed Hawley screams and curses at him, "Aheheheh, I'd wish you luck, except I don't."
As he said that Millie already soaked a rag in cold water and rushed it to Hawley, "I apologise for my uncle, he's a sh*t."
"If he doesn't want to get hurt, he shouldn't pick fights with me." Griffin plainly stated as he wiped the coffee dust off him with a handkerchief and brushed the flakes out of his hair.

Griffin as well never took his eyes off Hawley, he focused on the burn he left on him since it was the only thing visible on Hawley as was the dust handkerchief Griffin was still holding.

Millie gave Hawley a wide enough birth to leave but kept watch on him, as did Griffin never taking his eyes away from the burn he left on his doppleganger, ready to drop the handkerchief and fight again at any moment. "You'll try." He corrected as he laid an invisible hand near a drawer he knew had a revolver in case he tried anything.

Hawley had often passed Millie's room. It was partly due to his suspicion of her; but mostly suspicion over her "uncle". He had often pressed ears against the walls to hear of any telltale signs or looked through the keyhole. But it had garnered no significant results. However, there was one detail that had caught his eye.
A nearby air-way window, leading out onto an adjacent alley. It had been cracked and damaged significantly. One of Millie's neighbours, a zoologist, had told him that it was caused by one of her animals. There was a long shard that was the more eye-grabbing detail of it.
Hawley stepped out of the corridor, placed his hand on the glass shard, and waited for Millie to come.

Millie knew how vindictive he could get and relentless he could be. As soon as she stepped outside the room, instead of going behind the door where Hawley was, she took two decisive hops to so right so she was a good yard away from the door.
If he is planning another attack, he's going to have to lunge for me, she thought. 
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Millie said from her end of the door.

"Close the door, please." Hawley asked of her.

Millie gave him dubious glare.
That old trick, really? she knew better but decided to humor him anyway.
She only took one step towards the door, now only half a yard, reached out with a claw and hooked it on the hole where the door knob used to be and gave it a quick yank before hopping back to her spot.
the door painfully creaked as it swung (not quite) shut.

Hawley knew that whatever he did now Millie would react in some way in which he wouldn't want. He'd have to be unpredictable, spontaneous.
"Well, what I wanted to know was that- MILLIE, LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!" Hawley yelled fast, feigning perfect concern that was enough to be believed.

There was a long moment where she gave him a very unconvinced, almost insulted glare and folded her arms. With a sigh she rolled her eyes and looked behind her saying in a very unconcerned cynical tone, "Oh-no, what could it be...?"

And as quick as a flash, Hawley yanked the shard off the window, darted across the door, grabbed Millie by the mouth and swiftly placed the pointed end of the shard touching the skin at a specific point of her neck.
"Don't move or speak." Hawley whispered loudly and quickly in her ear. "This shard of glass is directly next to your internal jugular vein. It carries a lot of blood to and fro, and the remarkable thing about it is that it is entirely unprotected. A puncture will cause significant blood loss, hypovolæmic shock and then death if untreated. So, I wouldn't move nor speak, unless you want that impostor to find his associate dead."

Millie didn't feel any shock or fear when he grabbed her and put the shard to her throat, just annoyance, and even more so when he explained something to her she already knew like she didn't.
Before he could do real harm to her with the shard, her hands shot up faster than he could see and grabbed his wrists like vice grips, and he was once again flipped this time landing hard on his back and Millie didn't let his wrists go or loosen her grip.
"Are you done?" She asked annoyed

"Yep." was all Hawley could say, primarily as most of the air in his lungs had been flung out of him.

"Good. Do you still want to talk with me?" she asked still holding onto his wrists.

"Then I guess we're done..."
She let go of one wrist to grab the shard he had and put it in her pocket before letting go of the other, then took a couple of steps back to give him some air.

Hawley decided to sleep on the floor. It wasn't as if he was missing much anyway.

Before she went back to her room she had one more message for him "Oh, and if you try that naked again, you'll need surgery to get my boot out of your arse." she went back to her room, closed the door then opened it again, "Don't get trampled." then closed it again.
"So how'd it go?" her uncle asked casually from the bed as he looked up from his book.
"Not too bad." She answered, "It was just short."

Hawley didn't leave immediately. He just smiled. The door had been closed, and the knob had been stripped off.
"Aheheh..."

"And you are repairing that door Griffin."
Her uncle opened his mouth to protest but thought about it, "... Fair enough." was all he had to say before he went back to his reading.
(The End, for now)
