Dr. Timothy Blank

Dr. Timothey Blank is the head of genetics at the Darklight HQ. It is the responsibility of himself and his staff to indetify crptids and other paranormal beasties based on their DNA. He is not well liked, and has a personality that has gifted him the nickname of 'King Cobra'.

Background
Timother Blank was born in London, England, in 1973. He is the only child of the late biochemist Robert Blank and Chemist Ane Blank. He has never been married and has no siblings.

Timothy Blank was born in London, England, in 1973. That same year, Robert accepted a tenured teaching position at the Darkness Falls College and packed his family for the move.

Even as a youngster, Timothy showed an utter disregard for humanity and instead focused his attentions on animals. He didn't have frieds his own age and, by all accounts, didn't want anthropomorphic ones. He did however, have a preternatural affinity for animals so his parents raised him as best they could, with frequent trips to the Wainbridge Historical Zoo and many other zoos and animal attractions around the world.

As he entered his teens she showed a real talent with animal sciences, so much so that he focused most of his studies here. His peers found him aloof and cold, and for fun began referring to him as King Cobra. It was a nickmane that would follow him the rest of hid life. Blank entered his college years in the field of genetics, specializing in reptiles. He soon earned his PH.D and Masters but things were about to go awry.

Dr. Blank's detractors accused him of unauthorized experiments with human subjects. An inquiry was launched. Dr. Blank, ultimately, was cleared of all charges but the damage to his reputation was done. He was blacklisted, unable to find any gainful employment in any hospital or medical facility. Except ours.

Quite by chance Dr. Blank was dating a young woman named Nicole Darkraven, and was recruited to head up the genetics department in Paradigm City. Although the relationship has since ended, Dr. Blank continues to maintain his position as Chief of the Genetics Research Department.

Disposition
Churlish would be the best way to describe Timothy Blank. He has been called cold, aloof, and uncaring; some have even gone so extreme as to call him a sociopath. He is certainly not the latter, but he is very shy and lacks any kind of redeeming social skills; he simply doesn't understand people they way he understands animals and cryptids. He is never happier than when brought a fresh new cryptid, so far he has tested and named twelve different cryptid species and invented new methods to DNA cast cryptids such as by DNA water testing, which he brilliantly leaked to the public.

Dr. Blank holds a Ph.D in genetics, with a Masters in veterinary medicine.
