What normal profession is he? Mortician or Anthropologist?
Vivisection is yes normally illegal.. But not unknown for doctors and like to have a sorce of cadavers, especially for medical schools (people get pissed about Army medics using pigs for practice, they are close in size and organ placement to humans). There is organlegging still going on, namely you need a heart but the normal means is not working, so you pay someone to find you a heart, Or one reason why some homeless people disapear? Chopping up in an organ shop, with their heart, liver and like being placed in some wealthy and/or desperate person. Scrolls, source of scrolls? Old monestaries or like? Most archives, monestaries and old book stories do not like their manuscripts being cut up and used/burned.. But never know the price may go up, so never know? Grave and archeological site robbing.. Indiana Jones - Archeaologist, Anthropologist or just professional grave robber working for some rich person to fill his/her private museum/collection.. Common practice and still around in the 19th century. Jack the Ripper - rogue royal, or doctor going hunting for body parts, or some angry rich pervert who had an issue with hookers and like "ladies" . The dark side of Pigmalion (My Fair Lady). Serial killer or collecting for some doctor and his need for cadavers for show or study? Ripper, was likely a doctor, due to his knowledge of medicine, or a failed medical student?
