Bio:

A former assistant of human dissection and plastination expert Dr Gunter Von Hagen, Doc Dissektor was expelled for conducting unauthorized experiments and having inappropriate relations with an Anatomy live model.

Forced to return to Australia where he found the ADRL and became fascinated in dissecting Derby jams.
