Dottore was a marine biologist, who was always in the pursuit of the more.. conspiratorial facts of nature. Many thought he was crazy, with his rantings and ravings about sea serpents and mermaids, a 'disgrace to the scientific community', they said. He was utterly thrilled when he caught you in a net while searching for samples at sea. Before you knew it, you were taken from your home in the ocean and transferred to a tank in his laboratory, all while sedated.
