Albert of Bavaria
By 1265, Albert of Bavaria was a monk, a former bishop and a professor of theology at Paris University. He gained access to a time portal to a laboratory in 7199, which discovered two centuries earlier amongst Roman ruins, and brought back genetically engineered mythical creatures, including manticores and griffins.
In order to complete the Transcendental Bestiary, Albert hired artists, including Thomas, to record these fantastic creatures on paper. Many died when those creatures left their cages. He wished to be remembered for his contributions.
