Enoch Drebber physically resembles a cyborg, with jerky, robotic movements and a seemingly clockwork hand. He has an unnatural or machine-like speaking pattern, yellow eyes, long white hair and a tall lanky body in a victorian suit with a long black overcoat. He is an extremely skilled engineer of both scientific machinery and stage magic, having a talent for making his creations look like genuine inventions instead of the cleverly designed props they are. Drebber is infamous in both the science and stage magic communities due to his status as a fraudster, and is thus extremely thorough in covering his tracks. His business card has no address, and Harebrayne, one of the few visitors to Drebber's workshop, mentioned that he was blindfolded during the trip. He also planned to destroy his workshop and his work if he was ever discovered, and even set two time bombs to do just that: one below his workshop, and another planted in Harebrayne's machine. When cornered, he was more than willing to activate the time bomb and hide himself in his explosive-proof safe.

Drebber's ostracization from the scientific community caused him to grow bitter, and deteriorated his morals. He grew to deeply resent Scotland Yard, not thinking of or perhaps not caring about the collateral damage his destruction of Harebrayne's machine might wreak upon the police officers guarding it (though it seems he had no real intention of harming Naruhodo and his compatriots, given that he deliberately set the time bomb in his workshop basement to give them more than enough time to escape). He cannot stand pseudo-scientists and cranks, who he views as obstacles to technological and scientific advancement - because of this, he deliberately set his scheme to make Harebrayne seem like a reckless fool, as Harebrayne's belief in his own theory despite mounting evidence against it was something he viewed as a fundamental dishonesty. However, when Naruhodo points out that his scheme brought the same shame upon Harebrayne, a promising young scientist, as was brought upon himself all those years ago, he does not fight that assertion, which suggests that perhaps Drebber did not entirely believe that Harebrayne was as talentless as he'd said.

"Name...Enoch Drebber. Occupation... ...hard to pin down, I would say." He replied to the inquiry about his name and occupation when asked.

"I met the young professor approximately one year ago, through Mr Asman's introduction." He started explaining how all this started. "He provided me with the blueprints and I constructed the machine to his precise specifications. It was no trick." The white haired gentleman explained, verify his part in the tragedy that took place. "If the whole show was a fraud, it would have required a body double. Tell me...did the victim have a twin?" Enoch asked, being a magician as well and well versed in such tricks. No this was no magic trick. "All the spectators saw the birdcage appear above their heads and then crash headfirst into the Crystal Tower." He concluded. "A terrible accident, I grant you. Perhaps the science on which the machine was built was flawed somehow?" He speculated as he moved in a almost robotic motion.

"A, a body double?!" Enoch's apprentice asked interestedly wanting to hear more.

"That goes without saying, surely?" He stated with an amused smirk. "To give the impression that something has moved when in reality it hasn't. It's a basic conjuring principle. The deception cannot be achieved without substituting the original with a fake at some point in the performance." He further explained to his apprentice. "I possess considerable knowledge of stage magic. But crucially, my scientific knowledge more than matches that of any academic in the field." He added that he was a serious scientist and he wasn't going to just teach he's apprentice pseudo scientist and trickery. "If a hypothesis is sound, it can always be forged into a physical manifestation...with sufficient skill. Though I may have sold the secrets of some deceptive wiles to snivelling, talentless scientists in the past." He stated with a sneer of disgust to such addle-brained fakers that deluded themselves into thinking they were scientist with impossible ideas. He truly detested so-called, scientists like those.
