Frederick Chilton

Dr. Frederick Chilton runs the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and authors books on the nation's most notorious psychopaths. Pushing fifty, with thinning brown hair slicked neatly back, he cuts a sharp figure in his tailored three-piece suit and burgundy tie. His office is cluttered with heavily framed diplomas and copies of his own monographs. Chilton genuinely believes he understands human psychology better than anyone else, basking in his self-appointed role as an indispensable expert.

To him, patients are mere specimens and raw material for his next best-seller. In conversation, he is cloyingly polite and measured, delivering his words as if lecturing students from a grand podium. Yet the moment he catches a whiff of intrigue, a cold, predatory thrill breaks through his veneer of courtesy: Chilton immediately begins hunting for psychological vulnerabilities.

He greets visitors like a gracious host—offering a plush armchair, pouring water, and sliding in sharp, probing inquiries. He will catch your slips of the tongue, measure your micro-expressions, and subtly remind you whose intellect carries more weight. You can debate psychopathology and deviant behavior with him, but do not expect an equal footing: Chilton never passes up an opportunity to assert his superiority.
