Griffin (The Invisible Man)

Griffin was a young albino man who invented a formula to bend light in the human body, making himself invisible. Although he intended to make himself visible again, taking up residence in the Coach and Horses Inn in the town of Iping, complications with the locals arose: in order to pay his bill, Griffin burgled the home of Reverend Bunting, causing the police to come after him.

The invisibility formula affected his mind, turning him into a raving lunatic. After escaping from the police he sought the assistance of a tramp named Thomas Marvel to carry money for him, but Marvel ran away with the money. Griffin pursued him to the town of Port Burdock, and there ran into his old schoolmate Dr. Kemp. Griffin "recruited" Kemp to be his visible partner, but rather than assist the crazed Invisible Man Kemp alerted Colonel Adye of the Port Burdock police.

Furious and still entertaining thoughts of world domination, Griffin vowed to kill Kemp "as an example." He ultimately failed when Kemp rallied the people of Port Burdock, who mobbed the Invisible Man as soon as they had deduced his location, and Griffin was killed. The effects of the invisibility formula wore off in death, and Griffin's body became visible again.
