Hiram Walker

Hiram Walker (d. 1892) was an English monstrumologist. He shared a bitter rivalry with Pellinore Warthrop, and was disliked by several other monstrumologists.

Early life
Before becoming a monstrumologist, Walker tried several different career paths, such as barbery and sheep farming. At some point after becoming a monstrumologist, Walker attended a party in London, where he met, and became smitten with, a woman with ties to the British Royal Family. Walker attempted to impress her by claiming he had a knighthood, which forever earned him the nickname "Sir Hiram" among his peers.

Helping Warthrop
When Pellinore Warthrop went missing, Walker was asked by Abram von Helrung to make inquires about him. He discovered that he had been placed in Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, but found that he would not be released without the permission of a licensed physician. He convinced his friend Arthur Conan Doyle, a writer and physician, to help he, von Helrung and Will Henry get Warthrop out.

The group managed to free Warthrop, but Jacob Torrance, who von Helrung had left behind because of his aggressive nature, was killed shortly before they returned to their hotel room.
