Who are the Dread Doctors?
In season 5A of Teen Wolf we have been introduced to another threat to Bacon Hills called The Dread Doctors. Three scientists, a surgeon, a pathologist and a geneticist, who prolonged their lives and who are conducting experiments on teenagers in order to create the perfect killer (The Beast of Gevaudan).
So far we know that they choose their victims are teenagers who had a transplant of any kind, for instance, we learned in season 5B that Theo had a heart transplant, Hayden had a kidney transplant, Tracy had a skin graft and so on.
In order to create the perfect chimera they took genetic chimeras as subjects. The question is WHY? Why take teens with two sets of DNA?
In season 3B episode 12 “The Divine move” Lydia and Stiles said to Void Stiles: “But we can change you! You can’t be a fox and a wolf.”
I think the main reason the Doctors rounded up only GEN-chimeras is that one DNA set can hold only one supernatural mutation (wolf, fox, coyote) so two sets of DNA could hold two mutations. For instance, Danovan (wendigo + lamprey,) Theo (coyote + wolf) Belasco (wolf + garuda), Hayden (wolf + jaguar).
We know that if the Dread Doctors did something to you, you won’t remember them unless you read dr. Valacks book, called “The Dread Doctors”
WHO ARE THE DEAD DOCTORS?
The Dread Doctors are old, so first I took old people to be the Doctors, one of my first suspects was Lydias grandmother Loraine, up next was Gerard, I missed one old person so I abandoned this idea. After that I wrote a Theory about time bending ( http://mateojez.tumblr.com/post/137710116379/time-bending-lydia-meredith-and-the-dread ) in which I stated that Lydia and Meredith could project their mind outside their bodies and go back and forth in time and space because they are banshees. Also, I said that maybe the Dread Doctors found a way to do the same.
If the Dread Doctors aren’t banshees maybe they need a body to stay in a certain time and/or space.
Tyler Posey said that the real fun starts when the masks come off.
That has let me to believe that the doctors use a body that we might know.
In season 5A episode 9 “Lies of omission” we saw the arm of the Surgeon, it was full of cuts and stitches.
I think that the Doctors took dead bodies and use them as vessel. Because the bodies are dead, they rot, fall apart, so they had to stitch them up. That is the reason that in 5x9 we hear the alarm sound before the Geneticist takes a bit of the green liquid from the tube in which a body swims
This liquid can apparently regenerate body cells. and that is the way they keep themselves alive.
The Doctors have everything covered, the Pathologist picks the right bodies, the Surgeon operates on their bodies (vessel) and he Geneticist combines the chimeras.
List of dead people in Beacon Hills who could be the Doctors:
+ an alive one (all points to the AP biology teacher)
Lorraine Martin is a great candidate, first of all she is/ was a banshee, she can use frequency, vibration and energy, something we saw the Surgeon and Pathologist do (deflecting Argents bullets, opening doors). Also, a banshee showdown would be awesome!
Claudia Stilinski could be a Doctor because of Stiles, Stiles is the only one who still hasn’t seen the Doctors, he only heard them in 5x11 in the tunnels were they found Noah. There is also Stiles’ hallucination of Claudia on the roof of the Hospital and his memory of Claudias funeral coming back.
Claudia told Sheriff Stilinski that Stiles is trying to kill her. But what if she is a Doctor and Stiles really has to kill her (a Doctor in Claudias body)
Victoria Argent is just enough ruthless and strong to be a Doctor, she took some powerful hits from alpha Derek like a champ, she kicked his ass.
The Mute and The Chemist were powerful killers who killed whole families and packs. Coldblooded enough.
The Darach - last time we saw her, she was very powerful but lost power by curing Deucalion eyesight, in her moment of weakness Scott defeated her with Derek and Peter killed her on the roots of the Nemeton. She could still have some of her powers, enough to make a strong Doctor.
Aiden is one of Lydias love interests, it would be interesting to see Lydia fight Aiden because I believe that Lydia (as a banshee) is the only one who can defeat the Doctors, by using the same weapons as they are, vibration, frequency and energy.
The AP biology teacher keeps coming up and filling us in on the genetic stuff we need to understand the story, she introduced the term chimera to the show and co-dominance.
