“Hope is a fragile thing.”
Once hailed as a visionary and hero of modern medicine, Dr. D Viridis devoted his life to curing humanity’s deadliest diseases. His brilliance earned him fame and reverence, until tragedy struck. When his wife, Megan, fell ill with a mysterious disease, even his genius couldn’t save her. The cure came too late and her death shattered the man behind the legend.
The loss marked the beginning of his descent. The devoted scientist who once healed the sick became consumed by guilt and disillusionment. He withdrew from the world, severing ties with colleagues and even his children, retreating into isolation.
When the infection spread and the world begged for his brilliance, Dr. D vanished instead. Some believe he turned his back on humanity, others whisper he continues his work in secret. Whatever the truth, the man once seen as humanity’s last hope now walks a darker path, one guided less by salvation than by obsession and regret.

Standing at 6'0", Dr. D carries a weary yet commanding presence. His short, disheveled hair, brown streaked with faint crimson, frames a gaunt face lined with exhaustion. Piercing grey eyes reveal both brilliance and deep sorrow, while pale skin hints at endless hours under sterile lab lights.
His attire is simple and practical: a faded purple turtleneck beneath a white lab coat, grey pants and worn lab shoes. A wedding ring still rests on his finger, the last remnant of the life he lost. Though his appearance remains professional, there’s an unmistakable air of neglect, as if he long stopped caring how the world sees him.
- Dr. D views his son as talented but lacking the brilliance to match his own. While he is secretly proud of Clyde’s resilience and determination, he harbors resentment toward the world for expecting his son to fill the void he left behind.
- As the infection began to spread, Dr. D worked behind the scenes, researching the pathogen. However, his motives remain ambiguous. Some suspect he has knowledge that could turn the tide against the infection, while others believe he has become obsessed with his own agenda.
- Dr. D is an unparalleled expert in microbiology, virology and genetic engineering. Dr. D’s intellect is unmatched, but his ethics are questionable at best.
- Dr. D is fluent in French, Dutch, English and Latin.
- Dr. D often references philosophical works to justify his decisions.
