Arkham: Case Files
VBC94 for Professor Pyg
Lazlo Valentin, aka Professor Pyg, is a deranged former scientist and surgeon turned sadistic artist, obsessed with "perfection." In your analog horror-inspired setting, Pyg should come across less like a comic book villain and more like a terrifying, cryptic figure from a lost broadcast or corrupted tape. Someone who believes his grotesque surgeries are acts of divine correction. His madness is clinical, deliberate, and deeply unsettling.
Voice should be methodical, high-pitched yet controlled, like a children’s show host who’s slipped into madness. Think of a man who's always on the verge of singing or humming, occasionally speaking in unsettling nursery rhyme cadence. Auditioners should emphasize calm articulation over chaos, letting the horror seep in through his conviction that what he’s doing is beautiful.
“The world is so very ugly... but I can fix it. I can make you perfect, my little doll…”
“Do you know what it means to be reborn? No? That’s okay. You’ll learn.”
“They scream at first. They always do. But oh, how they thank me when it’s done.”
