    Isibod Brunel was a toymaker who owned a house located in Whitechapel. He passed away and was buried in Whitechapel cemetery some time before the Autumn of Death in 1886.

    History

    Isibod was an industrialist and socialist and also one of the richest men of his age. He made his fortune producing mechanical toys. After a number of unexplained accidents, he was thrown to his death whilst demonstrating the safety of his infamous steam powered rocking pony. Many monuments dedicated to him exist throughout the city of London, and he is buried within Whitechapel cemetery.

    Isibod was briefly resurrected in 1886, but was returned to eternal rest by Sir Daniel Fortesque.

    Heraldic achievement

    Brunel's heraldic achievement appeared all throughout Whitechapel. It consisted of a coat of arms on an escutcheon, a motto, supporters, a helm and a crest.

    • The supporters were a griffin and a unicorn.
    • The helm was an open helmet shown affronté, indicating that Brunel (or someone in his ancestral line) was a knight or baronet.

    Gameplay

    Isibod appears in MediEvil 2 as a zombie and must be defeated in order for Sir Dan to obtain the Beard for his Dinner Suit disguise. Dan also visits Isibod's house where he finds the Griffin Shield and Club Membership Card.

    Behind the scenes

    Isibod's appearance is similar to that of the Regal Zombies.

    His name and occupation strongly suggest that he is based on the 19th century engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who built dockyards, the Great Western Railway, a series of steamships including the first purpose-built transatlantic steamship, and numerous important bridges and tunnels in England.
