Doctor Moreau as depicted by Wells was one of fiction's most notorious [[villain]]s. As such, he existed within the [[Land of Fiction]], where he was a member of the [[Sisyphean Society]]'s senior circle. He created the humanised dog [[Cerberus (Character Assassin)|Cerberus]] and read ''[[Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection|Origin of Species]]''. Like the other villains, he was ultimately destroyed by {{Delgado}} on this occasion. | Doctor Moreau as depicted by Wells was one of fiction's most notorious [[villain]]s.

Dr Moreau is the title character of [[H. G. Wells]]'s novel {{wi|The Island of Doctor Moreau}}. His first name was never given in the original book, but {{wi|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen}} called him [[w:c:lxg:Alphonse Moreau|"Alphonse"]], which was also used in ''[[The Beasthouse (short story)|The Beasthouse]]''. Despite "Alphonse" being a [[French]] name, in ''[[Character Assassin (comic story)|Character Assassin]]'' he calls the [[Phantom of the Opera]] "Frenchman" as an insult, suggesting he is not himself French. | Dr Moreau is the title character of [[H.
