Doctor West is a brilliant man, especially in the field of neurology and biochemistry. Unfortunately, his work doesn't exactly have a good track record. He performed much of his initial research in Germany, where a failed experiment caused him to flee to the United States. Here he studied at Miskatonic University for a short time, but a gruesome morgue accident caused him to flee the country once again. He was last seen in a maximum security prison, shortly before a massive riot. Many of the inmates died in the fires, but West's body was never found. To date, there is no one living who knows the nature of Dr West's work.
