Description[]
Appearance[]
Dr. Margrove is always impeccably dressed. He wears spectacles, a formal suit, and a top hat.
Personality[]
Dr. Margrove is very much an introvert, spending long hours in his book and oddity-filled office at the College, which is kept constantly pristine. His colleagues there viewed him as keeping too much to himself.
Robbie Daymond described the character as "a real creep, a punchy lab wizard scientist. ... [He's] a man of mystery. He’s a compulsive, fastidious, hyper-intellectual reductionist, who doesn’t understand the madness that is unfolding around him and wants desperately to, and throughout this journey he will either learn to lean in or be consumed. Dr. Howard is not to be trifled with."[1]
