The Monstrumologist
Kearn’s first appearance and his debut as a character in the series. In Folio I, Pellinore Warthrop calls upon John Kearns by way of a letter to ask for assistance upon discovering the extent of the pod of Anthropophagi. Kearns arrives in Folio II, and does provide his unconventional assistance.
Kearns is tall (presumably well over six feet) with an athletic body type and a boyishly handsome, fine featured face. He has stylishly long blonde hair (compared, in the second journal (Folio II) to a mane), eyes the color of charcoal dust, and a remarkably small and thin mustache of the same color as his hair.

It is clear that Warthrop does not trust Kearns, as Kearns was his second choice to call for help in the first three journals, but this distrust is clearly not expressed by Kearns. In summary, Warthrop tolerates the presence of Jack Kearns, though he does not allow himself to trust the man, for Kearns is...
Towards the end of the third journal (Folio III), Will Henry makes a startling admission that he believes this same Jack Kearns to be a real person from history, a horrific murderer who is remembered for his brutality and as perhaps the most famous serial killer ever: Jack the Ripper.
In his line of duty—which is hunting dangerous beasts—Dr. John Kearns performs some morally questionable practices that he deems necessary to the trade. While some (or most) would disagree about how necessary, it does behoove him to maintain a level of anonymity wherever he goes.
International Man of MysteryDr. John Kearns cuts quite the mysterious figure. Even Dr. Warthrop isn't entirely sure that this is his real name since Kearns freely gives out pseudonyms like he's tos...
Sep 22, 2009 · The stand out characters are most definitely Dr. Pellinore Warthrop himself (You will best remember him with his constant commands of snap to's and his grumpy-frumpy nature) and Cory Kearns (who can't seem to decide what he want for his own name.)
