I. Appearance

Victor Eisenberg (jp. ヴィクター・アイゼンバーグ) (31 August 1798 - February 1819) was an Austrian scholar, mechanical inventor, and natural philosopher. Born in Bristol to land administrators from Innsbruck, he spent most of his youth in the Austrian Empire. He is best remembered after death for his uncredited theoretical contributions to celestial mechanics and early atomic chemistry, though his work went entirely unrecognized during his lifetime.

In 1814, he begun the University of Vienna to study natural philosophy under the Faculty of Philosophy. During his time at the university, he constructed a highly complex, clockwork-driven mechanical model of the Solar System, designed to predict moon phases and stars placement. He conducted private, unapproved chemical experiments in pursuit of a previously unknown chemical element, which he believed to be the fundamental component of life and decay. Increasingly obsessed with his theories, he abandoned his formal studies in November 1818. Following his seat in a mental hospital, he isolated himself completely, burning most of his manuscripts and falling into a state of severe delusion and paranoia. Contemporaries noted that he claimed to "hear more than others", posssibly suffering from schizophrenia.

In late February 1819, his unidentified remains were recovered on the Cardiff cliffs in England, next to his red gloves, by his father and friend.
