DOCTOR PRETORIUS WUTHERGLOOM (Performer) He/Him

He’s been called the Second Most Evil Person in the World- or maybe the fourth or fifth. Rasputin avoided him like the plague, saying, “His creepy eyes mess me up. Now give me vodka.”

Doc Wuthergloom was born over a hundred and fifty years ago in the slums of Whitechapel, London, England and was soon sold as an apprentice to a cruel apothecary in the Storyville district New Orleans.

After being seduced by a malevolent spectre disguised as a charming young damsel, Wuthergloom was coerced into murdering his wife and son, and thereafter cursed with immortality and no small degree of curmudgeonliness. He travels the countryside in a ramshackle showman’s wagon, selling his arcane wears to poor unfortunate souls who are plagued by the supernatural. Poor unfortunate souls like you.
