Editing Dr. Alphonse Mephesto (section)

==About==
Once one of the all-time brightest minds at the University of California-Davis, Dr. Alphonse Mephesto has proven himself an adept and skilled scientist, held back far more by his own stubborn fixations than society's rules. Having previously succeeded with an experiment involving a retail-friendly cloned asparagus, he now lives in comfortable obscurity on top of a hill at the outskirts of South Park. His hope is to create something truly useful that can change the world for the better, such as a [[Four-Assed Monkey|a monkey with four asses]], continuing to conduct mysterious science experiments in his laboratory including cloning, gene splicing, cross-breeding, and adding more asses to animals. His greatest creation may have been the "seven-assed Galapagos Turtle" for which he almost won the Nobel Prize, but unfortunately, he narrowly lost to rival [[Randy Marsh]]. He is rarely seen without his silent companion, [[Kevin Mephesto|Kevin]], and also has a less known son named [[Terrance Mephesto|Terrance]].

Reclusive by nature, Mephesto spends much of his time alone with his sons at the [[South Park Genetic Engineering Ranch]], working on his experiments and looking after his various animal hybrids, but he is still always happy to help out children interested in the wonders of science, or assist others in need of his unique services. On the odd occasions, he ventures into town for town hall meetings, a quick drink, or a dire warning about an experiment actively endangering the townspeople. Whenever the people in town need help dealing with the supernatural, the extraordinary or the insane, Dr. Mephesto is there with a convoluted, multi-assed solution to their problems.
