Anyone have a good mad scientist wizard I can borrow for NPC?

[Chells]

This guy could turn out to be a returning character so I'd like him to be pretty well put together. He is one of those guys who likes to see how magic effects people so I'm thinking a trasmutation specialist. He is amoral not sadistic (he'd love it if his arcane dabbling did not rip the subject to shreads but if it happens then he's more "what have we learned" than "OMG what have I done"

What I am looking for mostly is feats and spells. I have told the players to try to keep to one or two classes and not to pull really crazy stuff from obscure books. So to be fair I'll try and do the same (hence no grafting or Fleshwarper.) I'm thinking about making him a straight wizard. Spells and feats on the other hand I allow from pretty much anywhere.

I'm thinking 14th level or so.

If anyone has a wizard character in that range that they'd be willing to let me look at that would work too.

Thanks for any help.

I recently made a character very similar to this ... the guy I made was interested in pain(like count Rugen) and had an extensive torture lab arrayed in his basement. He was going for fleshwarper, but hasn't yet. I noticed that the feats/spells he has ... they don't really matter. It's how the character use them.

It's too bad, too. Fanren wasn't Book of Vile Darkness evil so much as Lords of Madness evil. He had bulging, segmented eyes from his aberration blood and a scavenging gullet so that he could cut of small pieces of his still-living subjects and eat them. He had levels in cleric so that he could use the healing to keep his subjects alive longer so that he could inflict more pain on them. Craft: alchemy was for slow-acting acids and forgery was good for making use of all the things people would tell him to make him stop. He grew excited at snatching higher-level subjects because they could endure more before they broke or died.

Occasionally he would rape his female victims and when any became pregnant from it he would keep them alive so that he could see what amount, if any, of mental torment would cause a miscarriage. He made sure that any actual births became the mother's next meal.

Of course, the purpose of Fanren was to make a character as disgustingly, stomach-turningly evil as I could imagine.

Sorry I guess that's all just useless information for you ... I'm sorry if this offended anyone ... which it probably did, didn't it?
