Enoch Drebber
Enoch Drebber was a mysterious engineer whose name was known in the science and magician communities of London. He was a witness during Odie Asman's murder trial.
[SPOILER]
Enoch Drebber was living and studying at London University to become a scientist, and was on the path to achieving that goal. However, he was also a member of The Repurposers, a small group who grave-robbed Lowgate Cemetery to dig up freshly-buried prisoners who were executed from the nearby Barclay Prison and sold them in order to make a living. To record information about the graves he robbed, he always brought a camera with him. One night, he dug up the grave of Genshin Asogi, the man thought to be a dangerous serial killer known as the Professor. However, when he opened the coffin he found that the man was well and moving, almost as if he had come back to life.
When the figure was shot dead by someone behind Drebber, he got covered in blood and fled in terror, suffering from canities subita likely as a result of that experience. Unbeknownst to Drebber, the man was actually framed and buried alive. Two men were going to secretly send him home to Japan, but since Drebber dug him out first, one of them shot the man to protect the secret of the Professor’s identity.
Drebber told many outlets about the event, but nobody believed him since the man was now dead. However, a Daily Circus newspaper journalist, Odie Asman, published an article with his name in it. This resulted in him being exposed as a grave robber, forcing him to leave school and give up his promising career as a scientist. The articles went on to become very popular among the people of London.
Drebber was later approached by Esmeralda Tusspells, who read the Daily Circus article and got a mold of the deceased Professor, to take a wax mold of his face for her "Hall of Terror" display of the rising Professor in her wax museum. He also sold her his camera because he had no intention of returning to Lowgate Cemetery. The camera was used for the exhibit as well. Embittered, Drebber became a con man who would build fake inventions for grant money, using his extensive knowledge of stage magic to sell his machines' efficacy long enough to be given money to "develop" them.
One day, Asman showed up to Enoch Drebber's new factory. He didn’t actually remember Drebber as a subject of his article and instead came to him as a creator and "swindler". Asman had just approached a young scientist by the name of Albert Harebrayne about his theory on teleportation and wanted Drebber to build a machine for him with the goal of getting money from the government.
Unknown to Asman, Drebber noticed an article in the newspaper he was holding about the creation of a new forensic investigation unit with coroner Courtney Sithe at the head, as Asman was blackmailing Sithe as well. Drebber decided to recruit Sithe and kill Asman for ruining his chances of becoming a scientist, as well as sabotage the career of Harebrayne, who he looked upon as a pseudo-scientist who demeaned his profession.
After the accident, Sithe found the wax model in the cage that fell through the Crystal Tower, along with a letter from someone who "knows the truth about 10 years ago", instructing her to set up the crime scene as detailed by said letter. Sithe did so but, unbeknownst to Drebber, she went the underside of the machine and into the shaft instead. Drebber intended for the fall to kill Asman, but he survived. However, just as he was getting out of the cage, Courtney Sithe stabbed him with Harebrayne's screwdriver, getting her own revenge.
