Frederick Wells

Frederick Wells gave his name to, and took the credit for Alva Osborn's eugenics project, which became known as the Wells Programme. The project was funded by the British military, and was intended to selectively breed, and enhance humans. Wells was an established astrophysicist, so Osborn allowed people to believe he was in charge, and the one with the plan. The truth was that Osborn selected him for his intelligence, to be one among the first generation of the experiment. In later years he would become known as the father of modern eugenics, but only Alva knew how literally accurate that was.
