Edward Mordake was reportedly the 19th century heir to an English peerage. He supposedly had an extra face on the back of his head, which could neither eat nor speak, although it could laugh and cry. Edward begged doctors to have his "demon head" removed, because, supposedly, it whispered horrible things to him at night, but no doctor would attempt it. He committed suicide at the age of 23. The description of Edward Mordrake's condition is somewhat similar to those of Chang Tzu Ping and Pasqual Pinon.

NOTE:The image here is a wax interpretation of Edward that was created long, long after his demise.
