The Living Brain
Rudolph von Aubrecker, the 18 year old son of Baron Vilhelm von Aubrecker, was nearly killed in the shipwreck of the Haifisch in 712 BC, a disaster for which he was significantly responsible. He was found upon death's door by Alexis Wilhaven who was a young medical student studying under Dr. Mordenheim and to whom the dying man was brought. Conventional treatment failed to stablise the patient so the doctor determined to at least put the brain of the condemn man to some use, removing it and placing it alive in a bubbling vat for study. The process and conditions in which the brain was kept gradually unlocked its latent psionic powers. When Mordenheim had gotten all the data that he could from the experiment, he determined to end it and the existence of the brain only to find that he couldn't. The brain forced its will upon his and obliged him to create for it a self-contained life support system.
Now known as the Living Brain, it resides in Port-a-Lucine in Dementlieu and commands a psionically-dominated organized crime ring. Its goal is to usurp control of Demenlieu from its enemy, Dominic d'Honaire.
