Noted as being a rather outspoken eugenicist, Gorlay, almost immediately upon being named Head of Medicine, began utilizing patients for his various experiments. Within four years' time, he was sterilizing the institution's patients. Thankfully, his tenure ended in the early 1930s, when a recently-appointed staff member, one Doctor Thomas Werner, performed an autopsy on a patient who died of a brain hemorrhage. The results indicated no less than fourteen different surgeries within the year to which the poor man had been subjected. Gorlay and Director Weaver both were immediately indicted and imprisoned. The former Head of Medicine committed suicide two weeks into his sentence.
There remain some questions following his death. At least fifty of his experimental subjects were never found. It is entirely possible that they remain in the tunnels underneath the East Wing, forming their own society, taking victims from the above world as they desire. This, and his potential as a demiurge whose Frankenstein creation exists in the tunnels, are among the usual potential answers provided by the authors.
