The Ghost of Frankenstein

A towering figure revived from a sulfuric tomb who is initially weakened yet persistent. He displays moments of gentleness (befriending Cloestine) but becomes a dangerous force when cornered. His fate becomes entangled with brain-transplant schemes, manipulated by Ygor until tragedy strikes.

A physician in Visaria challenged by his father’s legacy, he pursues a ‘good brain’ for the Monster and grapples with ethical boundaries. Haunted by visions of Henry Frankenstein, he oscillates between compassion and obsession. His choices set off a chain of irreversible consequences, culminating in his mortal wounding.

Ludwig's former teacher turned envious assistant, he is drawn into the illicit brain-transplant plan. Ambitious and self-serving, he participates in the experiments and ultimately meets a brutal end when he is harmed by the very contraption he helped operate.

The town prosecutor who oversees the monster-related hearings and seeks accountability for the violence. He presses for investigation and acts as a conduit between the legal system and the villagers' fears. His pursuit of truth drives the external conflict of the plot.

Ludwig's daughter who uncovers the Frankenstein journals and becomes a moral counterpoint to theExperiment. She witnesses the monster's actions and attempts to intervene, serving as a bridge between science and humanity.

A schemer who manipulates both the Monster and Ludwig, pressing for the Monster to receive his own brain. He exploits others to secure his own influence and becomes the true architect of much of the devastation, ultimately succumbing to the monster's tragedy.

A young girl who forms a bond with the Monster, even as he abducts her to fulfill his brain transplant quest. She resists the idea of losing her own brain and is returned to her father, playing a pivotal role in the moral dynamics of the story.

A scientist whose brain would be used in the Monster, his presence foreshadows the ethical peril of the transplant. His death marks a grim reminder of the cost of ambition gone astray.

The ghost of the Monster's creator who exhorts Ludwig to endow the Monster with a moral brain. The supernatural visitation underscores the lineage of scientific hubris and the weight of legacy.
