  • Complete Monster: Sir Michael Fielding is a seemingly genial, supportive figure who is actually a twisted eugenicist. Convinced that concentrating his genes would breed a superior child, Fielding repeatedly raped his daughter Molly, who drowned herself to escape. Eighteen years later, Fielding is obsessed with impregnating his daughter/granddaughter, eliminating anyone whom he perceives as an obstacle: almost crushing Tom Barnaby to death; hanging a young student for flirting with the granddaughter; slits a kindly priest's throat for attempting to protect her; and engineering a car crash in an attempt to kill her adopted parents. Caught, the remorseless Fielding boasts of his elitism, claiming the country is descending into idiots and degenerates, and "someone had to take a stand".
