Edward Prendick

Catherine Moreau's main love interest and then bitter hated antagonist. Edward washed up on shore of Monrau's island, fell in love with Catherine, but given his chance, he left her. Edward Prendick (of HG Wells’ The Island of Dr Moreau ) left Catherine to die on Moreau's island. This obviously was such a burn and stab in the back, she never forgave him. Later he was strong armed by Adam Frankenstein into creating beast men for him, and being an accomplice in both the Whitechapel murders, and the removal of Justine's brain. This gave Catherine all the fuel she needed to exact revenge...The WhiteChapel murders were the series of killings of young women to try to create another version of Justine by Adam Frankenstein. Adam had been working with Prendick to create these half creatures. Catherine was one of the early by products of this from her father's experiments. Prendick while stuck on the island with Catherine, took this knowledge and idea and was able to help Adam's goal of creating a woman from body parts and animals.

Prendick is confronted, along with Adam at the Warehouse at the end of Book I. He escapes the flames and takes his research with him.
