This guy is downstairs in the Apothecarium, tormenting caged human subjects and constantly referring to himself in the third person. There's definitely a touch of the mad scientist about him.

Apothecary Keever says: Hmm, it would seem Keever needs a new subject. If that fool Abernathy keeps taking Keever's subjects, Keever may have to have a word with him.

Apothecary Keever says: Ahh, there we go. Now, Keever must try this vial and see if it works.

Apothecary Keever forces the fluid down the weary man's throat.

(The caged man turns into a toad.)

Apothecary Keever pokes the small toad.

Apothecary Keever says: Not what Keever was hoping for. Keever may have added too much earthroot. Let's see if the second serum will do what I need.

(The toad turns into a squirrel.)

Apothecary Keever pokes the small fuzzy squirrel with obvious disappointment.

Apothecary Keever says: Well, that is just not right. The creature is far too small. Let us see what Keever's third batch will do.

Apothecary Keever feeds the squirrel some of the viscous fluid.

(Squirrel turns into a rabbit.)

Apothecary Keever pokes the skittish rabbit.

Apothecary Keever says: Keever is unhappy with this. Perhaps if Keever were to try a larger dose, that may fix this dilemma.

Apothecary Keever grabs the rabbit and pours the fluid down its throat, then sets it back inside the cage.

(Rabbit turns into a sheep.)

Apothecary Keever says: What is this? Did Keever ask for a sheep? Keever wanted a weapon of great power and all he got was this sheep. Keever is very disappointed.

Apothecary Keever pokes the wooly sheep repeatedly.

(Sheep explodes into flames, Keever cackles inanely.)

Apothecary Keever says: Keever is most pleased.

This is a reference to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_sheep exploding sheep which are popular in many video games, especially Blizzard ones.

I can't remeber if it's possible in WC1, but in WC2 and WC3 + exp you could repeatedly poke (click) on critters, resulting in an explosion.

I feel bad for the non-Undead players who can't understand what this guy is saying, he's great.

""Keever wanted a weapon of great power and all he got was this sheep. Keever is very disappointed.""

This Forsaken is a great example of the horrors they are.

""(...) He beckoned to his assistant Keever, a Forsaken whose brain had obviously been damaged by his first death and who muttered to himself in third person as he removed two test subjecs. One was a human woman, who was apparently not so lost in fear and despair as not to start weeping silently when Keever dragged her from her cage. (...) The Human girl was on her knees. Keever stooped down, yanked her head up by her hair, and when she opened her mouth to cry out in pain, he poured a cup of something down her throat and covered her mouth, forcing her to swallow. (...) It happened quickly. The Human girl soon stopped struggling, her body tensing, and then going into paroxysms. Keever let her go, watching almost curiously as blood began to stream from her mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.""
