Dr. C.L. Blood and his history are mostly a mystery, lost over time. His methods are unorthodox and mostly useless, yet he has developed some useful treatments.
Description[edit]
It is not exactly known how Dr. Blood got into the whole rescue mission to Mars in Martian Dreams. Yet, he proved very useful, despite his strange ideas and staying behind at the Landing Site with his equipment.
Blood had managed to find a way to cure the various sicknesses and injuries that the party encountered on Mars -- even the dreaded radiation poisoning from the careless handling of Radium. He also produced cans of oxygenized air the Avatar could recieve from time time time, which acted as healing agents. Also, whenever the Avatar was critically injured, the companions would bring him to Blood for revival. The same went for companions who seemed to have perished (they were just unconscious).
After that mission, he returned to Earth, only to fade into the fog of history, never heard of again.[1]
Lore[edit]
| “ | Dr. Blood was something of a mystery to me. Though Tesla, Freud, and the other would-be rescuers seem well-familiar with him and his accomplishments, I had never heard of him before our arrival in 1895. Apparently, Dr. Blood was reviled by the medical establishment of the 1870's for espousing the curative powers of his creation: "Oxygenized Air." The general public cared little about the disdain of Blood's peers -- thousands claimed to have recovered from illness and infirmity after undergoing oxygenized air treatment. Despite his somewhat checkered past and lack of esteem among the leading lights of the medical community, Blood proved a concerned and able doctor, well able to handle the rescue expedition's medical needs. |

Trivia[edit]
- As seen here, and here, Dr. C. L. Blood is a real historical figure who really did advocate his Oxygenized Air as a cure-all, although he is far lesser-known than most of the historical figures in Martian Dreams.
- He essentially takes the Role of Lord British for healing and resurrections.
- When asking to heal or resurrect Chsheket, he will call Nikola Tesla to do the job, since she is a technological problem. Tesla's work also always works.
