Albert of Bavaria
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
By 1265, Albert of Bavaria was a monk, a former bishop and a professor of theology at Paris University. He gained access to space-time travel, and brought back genetically engineered mythical creatures, including manticores and griffins from a laboratory, in 7199.
In order to complete the Transcendental Bestiary, Albert hired artists, including Thomas, to record these fantastic creatures on parchment. Many died when those creatures left their cages. He wished to be remembered for his contributions. (AUDIO: A Beginner's Guide to Monsters [+]Loading...["A Beginner's Guide to Monsters (and How to Slay Them) (audio story)"])
