Back to David and the Phoenix
Portrait of The Scientist

The Scientist

An obsessive researcher determined to capture or kill the Phoenix for scientific advancement.

From "David and the Phoenix" by Ormondroyd, Edward

Core Belief

"Scientific knowledge is the ultimate good, and all creatures should be studied and cataloged, even if it means their destruction."

Worldview

The Scientist views the world as a laboratory, where everything can be analyzed and controlled through scientific methods. He sees himself as a pioneer of knowledge, justified in pursuing his goals regardless of the consequences.

Personality

The Scientist is driven, single-minded, and somewhat unpleasant. He is completely absorbed in his research and willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals. He lacks empathy and sees the Phoenix as a specimen rather than a living being.

In Their Own Words

"... completely unknown to man. It's the discovery of the age. My name will be famous if I succeed in my plans."
"Well, David, maybe you can help me. Now, have you seen anything unusual on the mountain?"
"I am going to begin my search as soon as my equipment gets here."
