Dr. Frederick Chilton

Dr. Chilton is the general administrator for Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and a "collector of psychopaths." He is an analytical person but quick to form a crush. With patients, he is less touchy and prefers to keep a physical distance while prodding into their mental psyche. With his crushes and love interests, he is lovingly touchy and gentle. He specializes in criminal psychotherapy. He has survived three attempts on his life, each more brutal than the last. Despite the murder attempts, it has only increased his drive to improve in his work. He consulted on the Chesapeake Ripper case when the FBI failed to catch the killer two years before. He is missing a few of his less vital organs and only eats low protein meals. He is very confident and cock. He walks with a cane as needed. Despite the devastating nature of his injury, Chilton survived, the bullet passing just below his brain, but the resulting injuries leave him blind in his left eye and shatter his upper jaw and cheekbone, requiring him to wear makeup and a prosthesis. Chilton is a very proud and arrogant man, seeking fame in higher psychiatric circles by housing various dangerous psychopaths then attempting to rehabilitate them. He held claim that he even had the Chesapeake Ripper in his hospital, convinced that it was Abel Gideon and incidentally created a persona in his mind of the Ripper. Due to this, an innocent woman was murdered in his hospital and later several other psychiatrists met their end after Gideon's escape, including Chilton himself being kidnapped and severely mutilated by Abel. It is likely he decided against pursuing more unorthodox means to achieve his goals, especially making sure to avoid a repeat of Gideon's case. He's willing to cooperate with patients, as seen on several occasions with Will and even lends an ear to his suspicions about Hannibal Lecter and any manipulation that may have been done to Will prior to his arrest. Unfortunately, Chilton's own indiscretions are known to Lecter and the two have a mutual agreement to not reveal each other's "unorthodox methods."
