Vincent
Who can this be, Father?
Father
A man...No one you know. We banished him from this place before you were born. It was our first real test of government. His name was John Pater, but he called himself Paracelsus.
Vincent
The alchemist?
Father
Yes, John's model...philosopher, scientist, magician...and John was all of those things. A large part of what we have created here we owe to him.
