__TOC__
==History==
Friedrich von Frankenstein conducted experiments into artificial life in the laboratory of the Bernhard Castle. He was quite the mad scientist and would often conduct horrific and depraved acts trying to discover the secrets of life itself. His own demise was equally gruesome. The vampire queen, Carmilla, took him but kept him alive so she could feed on him daily for centuries to come, keeping him at the brink of death, yet living and aware. Why she did this is only known to a few, though. She once loved life and, before she became a Lord of Shadow, she vowed she would punish Frankenstein for his vile acts. As a Dark Lord, she was able to keep her word.
The cruel evil genius also built a time machine before Carmilla took over the castle. The machine was based on the work of Dr. Emmet Marron. It was said to grant only temporary time travel and so could not be used for any great length of time.
Carmilla cruelly punished Frankenstein for his crimes. One such punishment was the removal of his fingers which were left lying around the castle.
Other experiments by Frankenstein — or where he left his mark on the place — were abominable corpses that were preserved inside tanks of formalin that were the product of a cross between werewolves, vampires, and humans in different states of gestation.Mirror of Fate
