Giles Warne is an English professor. After experimenting in the field of medicine for years, he came up with what should have been a drug to end all viruses, before it has a chance to adapt. Tired of pharmaceutical companies taking his work and slapping their name on it instead of his, he kept it secret. He developed a cold several weeks later, and thought it was the best chance to test the drug. It worked, but he started getting headaches. After a while, and electrical appliance he came in contact with would cut out. As his headaches got worse, his intelligence deteriorated. He became a creature barely above survival instinct, that needed to be told how to do anything.
