'Silas Mortillo was an eccentric Victorian Entomologist who was respected in his field and had an ordinary life collecting and studying species of insects until his love of the latest trends in fashion (being mercury lined top hats at the time) warped his mind. Slowly losing both his memory and sanity he began to hallucinate and in his feverish state created these creatures. Upon waking he remembered nothing of his delirium. He only had a faint memory of his missing possessions until he discovered them bound together to form these new creations.
Still driven by the obsession of his craft he began to study these mischievous objects excited by his new discovery he decided to share his revelation with his colleagues and the scientific community. However, when he displayed them for the world to see he was ridiculed and threatened with Bedlam. He escaped with his creations and spent his remaining years collecting more creatures and displaying them in small shows as he travelled until his death at the age of thirty-eight.'
