History
Blakely is first seen in the mansion's study with the other scientists. When the Constable arrives to inform the men of an escaped inmate, Darlington jokingly points to Charles and accuses him of being the Mad-Man. He sends Stevens upstairs to investigate a loud noise, and upon hearing a second loud noise, assumes the matter had been dealt with.
Seeing the blood dripping through the ceiling, Darlington marches upstairs with Charles and Giroud to locate the cause of it, only to find Stevens' body being eaten by the inmate. The men race back downstairs where Darlington is pounced on by the Mad-Man-man, until Charles breaks a chair across his back. After watching Bertie get killed, Darlington, Blakely, and Charles attempt to flee through the front door, but are forced to barricade themselves in another room when the door is blocked.
When the Mad-Man breaks through the window behind them, Darlington leads Charles and Blakely to a room filled with firearms, swords and collected armor pieces. He loads a revolver, which he uses to shoot at the Mad-Man, but the Mad-Mans' agility makes this a difficult task. Darlington instructs the other men to arm themselves, so they can hunt the Mad-Man. They encounter him again but are unable to land any shots. Blakely is knocked unconscious by the Mad-Man and is abandoned on the mansion floor. Charles and Darlington briefly return to check if he's alright, but cannot stay to help because of the active threat nearby. ("The Primal Theory")
