Surgical sadism, experimental pharmaceuticals and the manipulation of immortal bodies take centre stage in Immortalis: The Jester and the Immoless, launching FREE TO READ soon at www.immortalisverse.com. At Corax Asylum, medical attention is readily available. Whether the patient benefits from it is an entirely different matter. The Gothic institution houses an extraordinary collection of physicians, surgeons and experimental scientists, all belonging to the monstrous collective known as the Nicolai. Their expertise extends beyond conventional medicine into supernatural anatomy, pharmaceutical manipulation and the reanimation of the dead. For readers of medical horror, mad scientist fiction and disturbing body horror, the physicians of Immortalis offer a particularly unpleasant examination of what happens when scientific brilliance operates without ordinary ethical restraints.
Dr Nicodemus: Anatomy as an Instrument of Power
Dr Nicolas Nicodemus, known as Demus, is the collective’s formidable surgeon. His anatomical knowledge and surgical abilities make him indispensable within Corax, where immortal physiology presents opportunities unavailable to human medicine. Nicodemus combines exceptional intelligence with a sadistic temperament and an increasingly possessive attachment to Allyra Cavidini. His professional authority becomes inseparable from his personal ambitions. As his rivalry with Nicolas intensifies, medical expertise provides another means of exercising control within the collective. The result is a surgical horror character whose capacity to repair bodies exists alongside his willingness to inflict suffering. His patients have good reason to worry about which inclination will prevail.
Dr Smythe: The Physician Who Needs His Own Medicine
Dr Shiverton Smythe represents another disturbing aspect of Corax’s medical establishment. A gifted physician, Smythe relies upon pharmaceutical serums produced by Webster, the collective’s experimental scientist. His dependency places him in a vulnerable position despite his professional abilities. The doctor responsible for treating others remains dependent upon substances controlled by another member of the same immortal being. Smythe also struggles with gambling, introducing further complications into his already precarious circumstances. His predicament transforms medical dependency into an instrument of psychological control. Within the Nicolai, even a physician cannot necessarily claim authority over his own treatment.
Webster: Experiments Beyond Death
Webster’s scientific interests extend into pharmaceuticals, supernatural experimentation and reanimation. His laboratories operate within a world where immortal physiology challenges conventional distinctions between injury, death and recovery. The possibility of restoring life fundamentally alters the relationship between scientific experimentation and bodily harm. For Webster, the boundaries of medicine extend far beyond preserving ordinary human existence. His work explores what can be altered, sustained and returned from death. He also maintains a position of considerable influence within the collective, serving as a confidant to Nicolas while pursuing his own scientific interests. Together, Webster, Smythe and Nicodemus create a medical establishment in which professional brilliance, dependency and cruelty exist under the authority of a single monstrous consciousness.
When Immortality Makes Medicine Worse
The medical horrors of Immortalis arise from the collision of extraordinary knowledge and extraordinary power. Immortal bodies can endure experiences beyond ordinary human limitations, while the collective’s shared existence creates unusual relationships between practitioner, patient and experimental subject. Corax’s laboratories are therefore more than Gothic scenery. They are essential to the novel’s exploration of bodily autonomy, scientific control and the grotesque possibilities of supernatural medicine.
