Lord Montcalfe
Scientist by nature, he is able to spend months under the hot Egyptian sun looking for rare artifacts. He also takes great interest in chemistry and exoteric studies.
In many peoples' opinion, his madness and irritability made him insane. Most of them believe that his madness destroyed his sanity and brought him to the point of committing terrible suicide.
