Eric Simms was a brilliant boy and a brilliant young man. Growing up in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was clear that he was going to Be Something Special. He was especially fascinated by the discoveries of Franklin, Tesla and Edison regarding electricity. Lightning and electricity seemed to be special to the boy..It seemed to do whatever he wanted it to do, and he always seemed to know what it was going to do next. It looked as if he would become the next great physicist, whose name would be spoken in a hushed whisper in power plants and physics classrooms. And then, in 1910, he abruptly married his childhood sweetheart and left the world of ions and static charge behind, dying two years after his wife in 1962, having made his living as a TV repairman.

At least, that's what everybody thought happened. The truth is that the Cobalt-Eyed Gentleman decided that he needed a conductor for his Great Machine, and decided that Eric would work PERFECTLY! And so Eric spent what felt like three long years being used as living conduit of electricity in a machine whose sole purpose was to keep the Keeper's other servants charged and moving. Every six hours Eric would be allowed to leave the Machine and the Cobalt-Eyed Gentleman would feed him food that was delicious beyond compare...And then he would have to go back into the Machine. But then, one day, one of the servants came to feed him instead of the Gentleman..And Doc Swiftly ran.
