## Einsアインス

**Eins (アインス, *Ainsu*?)**, whose real name is **David Douglas (デイビッド・ダグラス, *Deibiddo dagurasu*?)**, is the protagonist of Victoria's Electric Coffin. He was a death row inmate, convicted of murder, who was subsequently revived as the Electric Coffin by Victoria Frankenstein. He now works as her assistant.

## Appearance

Eins is a young man of average height (179 cm) with dark hair and gray eyes. As the Electric Coffin, he is characterized by the large screw protruding from the left side of his head, his forehead stitches, his neon green pupils, and metal plating that runs the length of his spine.

Eins typically wears a long black coat over black pants and a white button down shirt, complemented with a black bowtie. When removing his jacket, it can be seen that he wears black suspenders.

Before his execution as David Douglas, he can be seen wearing a white prison jumpsuit.

## Personality

Eins is shown to have a rather laid-back personality. His reaction to his execution is best described as cocky, and his go-with-the-flow mindset lands him as Victoria's first test subject. Eins is also seen to be rather easily annoyed and quick to anger, as shown when he attacks Walton for insulting Victoria.

Perhaps his strongest quality is his sense of duty. Despite his initial hesitation, Eins takes his role as the Electric Coffin very seriously after learning of Victoria's reasons for creating him. He is shown to have a great deal of respect for Victoria over any other character and believes she has changed him for the better. It is because of this that he refers to her multiple times as an angel.

## Abilities

As the Electric Coffin, Eins has several superhuman abilities of which Victoria refers to as his "options."

### Super Strength

Eins is shown to be able to perform feats much greater than the average human in terms of strength. He is singlehandedly able to stop a car from striking him and Victoria, as well as able to lift large scraps of metal and detach train cars. Victoria explains that this is due to the electrode piercing his brain, which allows him to use a full 100% of human ability as opposed to the normal 20%.

### Electric Surge

Eins is shown to be able to emit a surge of electricity via a button fob. Victoria uses this to fend of the scientists attempting to study him at the New York Medical Society.

## Trivia

* Due to the Electric Coffin technology, Eins's body is incapable of digesting food or fluids. Despite this, he still prepares the Doctor's meals for her.
* His mugshot as David Douglas is shown have a case number beginning with 1818, which is the year that Frankenstein was first published.
* "Eins" could also be inferred to have derived from "Frankenst*ein's*," more specifically, "Frankenstein's monster," the character after which he is based. It is also “one” in German, referencing how he is the first experiment of Victoria Frankenstein.
* On the author's Twitter, it was confirmed that Eins was based at least partially on the character "The One" from The Empire of Corpses. His name is likely a reference to that.
* Eins is shown to be able to play the organ, but only one song: Sleepers Awake, one of Bach's cantatas.
