Powers:
Science (Iron) Will: Herbert West is near manic in his determination to conquer death, and is completely unfazed by the horrors he has unleashed. As such, West is considered to have the ability simply to shrug off horrors with Rm (30) intensity for the good of science, as well as physical discomfort and the occasional murder of a supervisor while re-animating their body/head as two separate entities.

The Reagent: A development of West's, The Reagent will reanimate a dead being with Am (50) intensity, granting them a semblance of life, although depending on the dosage administered, it will lead to horrific mutations. By West's own admission, the formula isn't completed or refined, and only in the third movie has it come close to being 'perfected'. Any being raised will immediately make a Psyche FEAT at -4cs requiring a Red FEAT to gain control of themselves, otherwise, they'll go on a rampage seeking to destroy whatever they can. When faced with individuals who have connections to the re-animated corpse, the corpse may make an additional Psyche FEAT to gain control for 1-10 rounds. The Reagent goes to work immediately: Once administered, it will work within 3 rounds. West has further perfected The Reagent so that it can animate body parts or a sewn together corpse.

Contacts:
West has only one contact, his old friend Dan Cain whom he ultimately sways to his way of thinking.

Limitations:

  • Obsession: To suggest West is obsessed is an understatement. West is completely devoted to his goals, suffer a -2cs to any situation which forces him to choose between his research and anything else. At the end of the first movie, West is willing to be killed to save his research, murder his co-workers, and even co-opt his friend's life to see things through.
  • Felon: West is a convicted Felon by the third movie, with the country knowing what his research not only did but what it could do.
