Stanley Gimble was a man who made prosthetic limbs out of his Santa Monica business, Gimble's Prosthetics.
Stan had always had an interest in anatomy, and felt that going into the prosthetics business would be a natural expression of this interest. He came to the conclusion that he could never fully understand what it was like to use a prosthetic without having one himself. And so, "quite out of the blue," he decided to cut off his own left hand.
Gimble's prosthetic
His studies of human anatomy continued after he set up his prosthetics business. In fact, the prosthetics seemed to be mostly a way to continue his "research." The vast majority of the interior space of Gimble's Prosthetics was dedicated to various cells and workspaces. He kidnapped a number of individuals and would systematically remove digits and limbs for experimentation, including McGee and Carson.
He was killed after attacking the prince's agent.
Quests[]
- A Bounty for the Hunter
- The fledgling's trail to find Carson ends at a tattoo parlor, Devil's Brand Tattoo. After a phone call from Gimble, in which the fledgling secures a meeting, they go to his office down the street, and find both Carson and McGee locked in cells within the bowels of the building.
- If Lily is saved during Thinned Blood it is possible the fledgling to use Stanley as a replacement for Vandal's blood bank (plus patch only). This will reduce the character's Humanity.
Background Information[]
- Stanley Gimble is probably a reference to Richard Kimble, the protagonist of The Fugitive, who was on a constant search for the one-armed man who killed his wife.
- According to his flyer at the tattoo parlor, his phone number is 310-555-0142.
